Some of you may know I am a Dover Greeter,where people can a request for a local person to show them around the area,for upto 4 hours at no charge.
Today I met Darla and Doug from Galvestone Texas who are staying at Mike Mcfarnells Amanda Guest House.They wanted to go up the Cliffs.
I met them at 1pm and walked down Pencester Road,through the Town and pointed out the Roman Painted House the Museum and told them about the Bronze age boat,and they loved our TV screen,then along the seafront which they loved too then climbed up the slope to the cliffs.
We stopped several times to admire the view and I told them what I knew,they were interested in the History of Dover and as Galvestone is a port about the Harbor(Harbour) we stopped for a coffee at the Visitors Centre at the Cliffs and sat down to admire the views.
After a few mins 3 elderly ladies came along and asked if they could join us,and after a few introductions they started telling the Visitors about the War,and how it was growing up at that time,one was from the east end of London the other 2 were from the Deal area,the Americans were fasinated and stories flowed ..and flowed...2 hours later we made our way down to find somewhere for them to eat,but first I wanted to show them a proper English Pub,so I took them into visit our Jeanette.
They were amazed at the White Horse and after sitting down Jeanette came and visited us and told them a little bit about the pub and its History and some of the swimmers details,then into the Town for something to eat,it was just after 5pm on a Sunday and there is little choise of eating places at that time,but I settled them in at Chaplin's and left them to it.They were very impressed with the sights and the History of Dover,tomorrow they will visit the Castle.When they go home what will they tell thier friends and relatives,that they loved Dover and if you go to England you must visit Dover....The Greeters is a simple idea and you don't need any qualifications if you want to help out,just a passion and an understanding of Dover.We don't hide anything we point out the good and the bad as we pass it,but they thought there was very little that wasn't in thier words 'brilliant' about our Town,and when they offered me money for showing them around I couldn't take it as Greeters show people around for upto 4 hours free,what a lovely day I had in Dover with 2 satisfied tourists.
