  Iteresting reading all these posts, it is depressing and it can be disheartening to walk through the town and see yet another boarded up shop or yet another shop having a closing down sale. But Dover Spirit lives on and those of us with Dover in our Hearts and Blood will always see the things worth remembering and cherishing.
  
  I love to sit on the beach and stare out to sea, I love the fact that if you turn around stood on the beach you know the secrets of Western Heights just waiting to be discovered and on the other side an imposing castle overlooks us.
  
  I love the fact that I walk in the same streets as much loved Grandparents and whilst we see shops closing, we have smaller thriving businesses opening up in Dover every day. Maybe not in the High Street, but tucked away from view and creating jobs for the people of Dover.
  
  I love the fact that it is very rare to walk through the town and not bump into a relative/friend/acquaintance and stop for a chat and go for a coffee.
  
  I take my children to Pencester and Connaught Park where I myself played as a child, and we might not have a paddling pool anymore but boy it would have been cool back then to have that skatepark! I barely noticed the wino's when I was growing up and I barely notice them now, by focusing on the positives we can all change our opinions and views and by shopping locally we can save some of our local shops from closing.
