It is spring in Canterbury, most days anyway. Today I spent some time in the city with Jennifer, and it reminded me very much of why I love this city.
En av de tingene jeg liker her er elva. Elva Stour renner gjennom byen, og ikke nok med det: den deler seg og samles igjen opptil flere steder. Det gjør at uansett hvor du er i byen, er du ikke langt fra å se et av elveløpene eller sogar flere av dem.
One of the things I appreciate here is the river. The Stour runs through the city, and it some times splits and then comes back together into one. That’s why you are never far from a look at the river here.
This idyllic spot lies in the city centre, about a block away from the High Street. The nearest house on the right-hand riverbank is the assembly point of the Quakers, the stone building on the left-hand rivebank is the building of a Dominican monastry. The picture’s taken towards the north.
In Canterbury there are three companies that from various places around town offer riverboat tours. The river is not very deep, but they find their way around. Some use the Italian gondolier style boats and push it along with a long stick, others use other means. This picture is from a company where the guide-guy is rowing the boat! It doesn’t look to bad on a sunny day, does it?
