Cathedrals, Hides and Sun!

Embarked on a trip to Canterbury today (can one even embark on a road trip?) - Anyhow, we did and had a great day. Got going around 11 so were able to get into Canterbury in time for lunch...It is a a bit of a tradition in our family to embark to Canterbury and while there buy sandwiches from M&S, aka Marks & Sparks aka Marks and Spencer that look somewhat like this.. All nicely rounded off with chocolate and crisps. But man, Canterbury bustles. Really nice town. Above piccy gives a bit of a feel. Buskers abound - we even saw a man with a music machine thingy where in the 'olden days' he would have had a live monkey but today he had a stuffed monkey.

St. Johns Road sign is for the brothers-in-law John!

After purchasing a few items of clothing, knitting books and a cricket set we went for a walk to Grove Ferry. Didn't have time for a pint at the pub (which curiously enough is called the Grove Ferry Inn). Took in the hiking paths and had a look at some birds from the hides. A hide is a place to hide from the birds. Canadians call them blinds. J-Rock madly catching lots of moths and dragonflies for DB.
