Off-season was the October atmosphere at

England’s centuries-old seaport and fishing town

of Folkstone that lies just about 10 miles west of

the famous White Cliffs of Dover. It’s also where

the British summertime tourists flock to spend

their fortnightly seaside holidays with family and

friends of usually factory and blue-collar progeny

and social class. Folkstone isn’t really for fancy

and swanky toff folkz, although the seaside

atmosphere is so decidedly All-British, too.

Not found are all those masses of black immigrants and
huddles of foreigners so typical of England thesedays.
Folkstone thankfully seems pretty free of such dreadful
inroads of Third Worlders and foreigners polluting more
and more of our country it seemed to me. Thus, its remains
and retains what is quintessentially English in its character

and atmosphere with sure thanks to our gracious god …

I’m enroute back to my homebase from Folkstone
via Canterbury, at where I shall attend Sunday
Service of Holy Communion at the cathedral, and I
shall then write my complete story and present more
photographs about my first and happy visit to Eng-
land’s Folkstone once I hit my homebase ‘umpter
keyboard sometime very much later on today or at
first thing come tomorrow's Monday morning …
