A Weekend in Canterbury

We are having our kitchen refitted at the moment, so decided to go away for the weekend while we have no kitchen.  Here it is freshly plastered ready to dry out over the weekend.

We went to Canterbury, which is famous for it’s cathedral.  It is the  Mother Church of the Anglican Communion and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury.  We were lucky enough to have glorious weather, and spent our time visiting the cathedral, and wandering around the quaint old streets:

On Sunday morning we went for a little boat trip along the river:Canterbury 012

We had a lovely picnic by the river, then made our way home.  A lovely relaxing weekend!

That's a wonderful contrast, Linda - that full, ornate carving of the cathedral and your lovely empty plastered space! I have never been but would love to visit - it looks beautiful. Hoping the renovation goes smoothly!

Oh, that kitchen photograph brings back memories of our total kitchen redo three years ago! I hope you are as happy with your new kitchen as I am with mine! Good idea to take a trip! Looks like you had a lovely time.

I can almost smell the drying plaster just looking at that top picture

It's years since we've been in Canterbury - I really enjoyed these photos, especially the details you have captured inside the cathedral
