Canterbury

After driving all day from Normandy we decided to come back to balmy (that is warm) England a day early. The ferry crossing was very rough but it was nice to finally be driving on he left hand side of the road again.
Actually its is amazing how easy it is to adapt to the right hand side of the road. Much easier than expected and the roads n France are so much better than England!!
Still it was nice to find food that we recognised!! I am officially over baguettes!! What is it with these bread sticks, The French love them, morning noon and night. Still the wine is so good and so cheap in France whose complaining. A really nice Bordeaux costs no more tha 3 Euro!! And beer is cheap all ove Europe. Viva la France!!
Stayed in Canterbury (yes Warrick, the Chaucer one) and this town was fantatic!!
Had a 3 pound roast ( I think its time to bring back the Sunday roast Lou). Turkey, Ham and Beast with heaps of veggies all smothered in gravy and mustard. It dont get no better that that!
Went to Canterbury and explored this magnificent, walled city. It dates back to the Romans and the Cathedral goes bacy to the 9th century. We wandered around and probarbly enjoyed this place more than any other English town.
And believe it or not we even had time for the top shop and H and M. And Maddy brought a real, Thats real, Leater jacket!! Looks fantastic.
Had a relatively pleasant drive to Hertford, and Gab is now spending the night getting ready for our Easyjet flight to Nice tomorrow. Italy beckons!!
love and regards to all!
