RE: Some progress on my latest painting and being a creature of the coffee house
I so love visiting new places. And seeing the real side of other sides of life. And what a better way than as a coffeehouse crawler. Your description of 'bones' of a place is classic. As for Canterbury--it sounds absolutely delightful. Doing nothing or something under the guise of nothingness disguised as work would be grand indeed. I even got a bit of a choke-up on the bagpipes. It is such a wonderful, local sort of event to witness. I'm glad you are enjoying yourself so in the country. Such a fun winter you are having. I'm jealous, in a very happy, un-green sort of way. Hope things are going well and shaking out in a good direction (banking and all that phalderaugh). Have a nice time wandering, and hope Christmas is shaping up to be a grand holiday indeed. Cheers
@ddschteinn it is so good to hear from you. I feel I've been neglecting some people as I don't always get to everyone and I have no notifications (I know I'm a dinosaur with that but it might be part of my new years resolution to solve that problem!)
I really love the south of England, always have. I have not lived in Canterbury before, only visited friends here, so when we decided this would be the place, we haven't regretted it. It's also one of the better places weather wise, if they get cold and snow in the north, we get a bit of rain, but the plants and grass keep growing! And I don't mind the rain!
I hope you enjoy your Christmas and your Winter, I thought you lived in the area of the west coast that was more like English weather, just some rain but never too cold?
