Zen Again 12

Change is abroad, on the Dover seafront. The Wellington Dock, where formerly 'project boats' saw out their final days, is outfitted with new pontoons. At which spruce, sea going, vessels lie waiting.

The Granville Dock, where Stargazer used to moor, is gone. Transformed into a giant sand pit, filled from the Goodwin shoals. Ready to expand shoreside facilities, for the ferry port, no wonder.

Market Square has a freshly scrubbed air. Its stone-built bank buildings repurposed, to house estate agents and coffee shops, in these digital times.

A sign of permanence, since William the Conqueror first fortified the White Cliffs, in 1066, Dover Castle stands foursquare on the skyline. Beneath a Union Jack, hoist high.
