| So we’ve arrived at our first stop of the night and I’ve found an error in the Premier Inn Wifi offering. You are only allowed only two connections to the wifi at any one time! I mean only two!?? What sort of crazy Stalinist world is this? How can anyone cope with only two – after all I have iPads and iPhone to connect – so has my wife – such an outrageous situation …I’m sure it’s infringing my human rights. It must be political correctness gone made! (I need to get a life)
Anyway, back in the real world the hotel room is fine as was the drive down, apart from the M1 being closed for a serious RTA or is that RTC – old habits die hard which probably added about 45 minutes to the journey but did mean we had a lovely drive through the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire countryside rather than ploughing along the M1 and M25 to South Mimms services. Canterbury was incredibly touristy but it was ever thus – otherwise what would Chaucer be famous for. The Cathedral was what you would expect it to be but the highlights of the vista were none of these. The first was the Cafe Rouge where they were very helpful with their Gluten free selection – plus free wifi – I think life is more than whether I can connect to the Internet – I really should get out much more often. However, the star of the visit to Canterbury was Chromos art shop. This is a al art supply shop with such a wonderful stock on display…I was in heaven especially with so many of these traditional art shops closing down or seriously reducing their stock in the shop in favour of the Internet. If you are an artist and you happen to be I So all round a good day and now we’ll be having an evening meal at the local restaurant which again seems to have a good gluten free selection so lets hope it is a success. After this it will be off to bed as we have an early start in the morning. Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPad |
