It’s lovely to wake to a lazy second day in Canterbury. Having seen the Cathedral yesterday, we’re free to explore at leisure. A more detailed walk through town is in order. I had to be […]

2018 Day 26 – Canterbury
We arrive in Canterbury by mid afternoon. Northern inclement climes have been replaced with a perfect day – mid 20s with blue skies. Canterbury city council has been extraordinarily progressive and converted a large section […]
2018 Day 25 – Europe, here we come
In the end, the weather decided for us. We were Scotland bound and had driven as far up as Yorkshire, within twitching distance of Peter Rabbit and the Lakes District, both firm favourites. Scotland has […]
2018 Day 24 – Joy and Resolution
The last 24 hours has been rather wonderful. Blissed out at meeting the gorgeous Miss Felix, the Huddersfield Station cat, I shared my blog post about it with her* in a private message, thinking she […]

2018 Day 13 – Oxford
We visited Oxford last year – looking back at that post, I’m surprised at what we achieved in a day. Oops. Probably pushed Chris a wee bit hard there. I can get a little engerzier […]
2018 Day 11 – A lazy day at last
We ratchet the pace back a little with a lazy lunch by the water, at “Shaun Dickens at The Boathouse”, which proves a gastromonic delight. I should have been much more diligent about taking photos, […]
