We drove to Canterbury today, to do some last minute shopping and to walk around the town a bit. We didn't have too much time to spend there - we had to get back in time for dinner after all - but we walked around the big shopping district, saw Canterbury Cathedral (see above) and Canterbury Castle. The Cathedral was having their big Christmas caroling service today, so we weren't able to go in, but we're hoping to go back to see the inside. As we were walking around, we managed to catch a big procession that included the Archbishop!
He's looking rather fetching in that shade of yellow I think.
After we walked around Canterbury, we stopped for a cup of hot chocolate and then headed back to Hawkinge. We're now sitting around relaxing in the living room, reading and playing Wii, waiting on dinner. More adventures to come!
That is a pretty awesome yellow robe. I hope that you get to come back to see the inside of the cathedral - that would be really neat.

What a lovely day out...your pictures on Picasa are wonderful! Be sure to hand the camera to Eddy occasionally so we can see you too! Love the bishop!
