Great pics. I love the one with the swans and the mist. So much to see. The cathedral rising up out of the trees in the top left corner with the birds taking a breather on the telegraph wires would make a fab pic on its own.

That one is actually printed out on a screen near the new riverside but they added some odd blue tones to it.

OMG! 😍😍 this place looks like a paradise, I felt in the same way when I went in Alto Adige and Ireland but this places are gorgeous it’s like a painting.

I was thinking about my next holiday that it could be in Uk, it “could” because my list is extremely long I’m looking for a place in the nature.

East Kent isn’t a bad shout as a holiday destination as you can enjoy farms, nature, city and history, orchards, vineyards, marshes, and the seaside all within a few miles of each other. I could write you an itinerary! Also less than an hour from London so…

OH WOW!! Thanks a lot that’s sounds perfect! I haven’t decided yet for holiday because unluckily I work for a brand that gives us to choose the holiday period each 3months, so every year I schedule itinerary for almost all the world and than I decide the destination picking the cheapest flight. One of the destinations is UK but I don’t know if the south or from north to south. But when I will decide I will definitely asking u a lot of information. If once u will travel to Italy don’t hesitate to contact me I will write to u a lot of places.

Please do! So many great places down here. And up north too, to be fair. This country has some great beauty, culture and foodie spots. And yes, I’ve been meaning to come to Italy for a while so I will drop you a message when I do ♥️

Isn't it lovely that you can walk somewhere time and time again without tiring of it. I have a local woodland walk that I constantly walk - I love it because it's always the same and never the same each time I visit.

Exactly this. I have the same feelings for Clissold Park in North London. I’ve long since moved away but when I return it’s like falling into step with an old friend. Such a peaceful feeling ♥️

What a beautiful collection of photos of trees along this route - although I’ve spent so much time in Canterbury, I’ve never done this walk. You’ve inspired me!

Yes please do it - you won’t regret it. Advise early morning or evening because little shade in the middle and it can get HOT. If you start Chartham to Canterbury the best place to end is the Goods Shed next to Canterbury West Station for a coffee/wine/dinner.

Fantastic photography and more eloquent, sensitive writing. How Celia would have loved your beautifully illustrated outpourings. When are you going to get all this published?
