I know I owe you all the last Morocco update but we've just come back from Canterbury in Kent and I'm inspired to put some pictures up from there. It's a Bank Holiday weekend here (hooray!) and boy did I deserve a break after a whole 4 days back in the working world! The firm I work for is a US-based trial law firm doing commercial litigation and I think I'm going to love it. I have another 4 day week lined up this week, and then we're off to Manchester with friends, Mike and Kristen. I think I'm leading a charmed life.
Canterbury is the home of the Anglican Church and the Canterbury Cathedral, the birthplace of Christopher Marlowe and has loads of super cute cobbled streets and old buildings. There is a typically English river running through the town, and lots of rural country lanes to explore. Lots of the town was destroyed during WWII by German bombing raids but not the Cathedral, which is remarkable.
The food was delicious, the town was delightful and we had a lovely time away. Love to you all.

stunning photos again!
ReplyDeleteSeeing all your gorgeous photos is a great reminder of when Richard and I were there and what a great time we had! Admittingly a long time ago, pre children in fact, but I guess that time frame is nothing compared to the history of England. The photography is fantastic! Keep it up - we are really enjoying your blog. cheers, Deb and Richard
