Day 3--Ash








Well, mother and I were supposed to go to Canterbury today, but my head cold got very severe this morning in terms of congestion in my sinuses, exacerbated no doubt by my continuing lack of sleep. Mother, however, is well and has been sleeping, so she decided to go explore the village of Ash and possibly the Secret Garden over in Sandwich today, and we'll do Canterbury either on Friday or Sunday, by which time hopefully I will have my act together.

Addendum: though I didn't get a nap, I did eat lunch, take a shower, and went down into the village for a walk, all of which was a big psychological boost. Mother didn't make it to The Secret Garden, but she did find some tea houses in Sandwhich. I've posted some pictures above of the main church in Ash and its environs, as well as a shot of me with one of the Molland House kitties.

  1. Beautiful picture of the cross - love the texture. John - you look very relaxed with the kitty - wish I could be there to share the courtyard and put my feet up! I miss you already. Did your mother have scones and clotted cream with her tea? Did you ring that bell? I grew up with my mother ringing a bell to call us in for dinner. I would be so tempted to ring it over and over again.
    Hope you feel better. XOXOXOXO :)

  2. My mind must be playing tricks. When I looked at the cross picture, it looked bedazzled with snow and frost.

    I bet if you rang that bell Lisa, that cat in John's lap would scratch crap out of him. So you better wait a bit.
