Canterbury

The Site, just outside Canterbury had a bus stop just outside the gate, so an easy ride into town. I had wanted to look at The Cathedral, famous as the scene of Thomas a Becket's horrific murder.

It's a lovely town to walk around, lots of historic buildings and really interesting shops, not all  chain stores. But the Cathedral was a disappointment, as you can't get in without paying and at £9.50 each, well £8.50 for Mike, with his OAP concession. Even so, that was a lot of money to spend for a couple of Pensioners. So we didn't get to see inside.

We did see our first celebrity of out trip though, the actress Samantha Womak (formerly Janus) she almost walked into us as she dashed from the theatre, where she is in Panto, to a Cafe, for her lunch. It was one of those silly moments where the brain instantly recognised her, therefore making me think I knew her, so the mouth is trying to issue a greeting, while the brain is then reigning the mouth in saying 'Whoah!' you don't actually know her. Which left me gawping like a mawkin and my jaw jiggling about. Oh well, at least I didn't complete the picture of the village idiot by dribbling!

It was a a rather drizzly sort of day and to get into the dry,we went into the Museum in the library, excellent place and also free.

We are planning to return to the site so hopefully will have a better look round next time.
