How beautiful is constantly pulling aside while driving on English villages and towns’ narrow roads and then wave to each other when cars cross? 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🚙👋🏻🏡🏠

I guess I’m gonna be sitting here for the next 2 hours, in the gentle silence of sea waves.

At last I visited the Canterbury Cathedral spot where Thomas Becket was killed by 4 men loyal to King Henry II in 1170.

My Italian secondary school English literature teacher, who was so passionate about X-XVI century English history would be proud of me!

As a architecture monstrosity lover, I am in utter awe of this tower every time I enter Margate, Kent.
And what about the rest of the town.
No wonder TS Eliot wrote The Wasted Land here. Pure inspiration.
Margate I ❤️ thee.

However, Canterbury Cathedral is being renovated and the recent lockdown is going to stretch scaffolding times even further, I am told. Alas!

My AirBnb host in a village in Cornwall deep countryside is really kind.

She even left me Wodehouse and Faulkner on my bed.

But there is a new chainsaw, still boxed, at the bottom of the stairs of my bedroom.

Why? 🤔

However, I’m still alive and this is the breakfast she made for me. ❤️🥞
