***Church Overlooking the World-500 - a photo on Flickriver

            The Saxon Church of St Mary in Castro at Dover

Talking with some friends from London over the weekend and reminded me of our "guided" tour through Dover and Canterbury back in 2017.

So I wandered down memory land and landed on this photograph that had a certain picturesque charm to it. 

St Mary de Castro is a church in the grounds of Dover Castle.  The present Saxon Church was restored/built around 1000 AD The tower was originally a Roman Lighthouse and the Church turned it into the bell tower and amazingly the bell is still there and the church is still active :)

Our friends are great historians and it was such a great day to wander through history with them.

So here's to friendship, long life and happiness :)
