Why I Love England

Just a month before moving, Brian and I took the ferry from Calais, France to Dover, England.  We were on the road to another destination when we saw this gem by the side of the road and decided to pull off and see what it was.  Above is a church that is typical of the area; old, likely Anglican, with a cemetery attached.  Although we couldn't go inside the church, we were able to walk the grounds.  Just next door is the Canterbury Castle, a stone ruin structure that was fun to climb around and imagine its history.  There were some markers that told a little, and for a moment my mind was lost in an imagination-filled "memory" of the place.  Just like many other historic spots, I drift off into another time and wonder what life was like.  There is just something fun about discovering places along the road, off the beaten path.
