Back To The Middle Ages

 

It was really splendid to see so many people coming together for this fantastic community event [info here]
I stood near the start of the route, outside  St Peter's Methodist Church [whilst Bob sat inside feeling unwell]
Hundreds of people, from the very young, to the elderly, in an array of costumes- some professional, others homemade. And everyone so cheerful. There were school children in the tabards they ad decorated, proudly carrying their colourful banners. Huge models of Chaucer's Characters. Lots of music, and laughter. A guy walking on stilts, juggling at the same time [I couldn't  do either skill - to do both at once is amazing imho] It was lovely and the atmosphere was really good.




Such a delightful morning - so much to see and do and learn...

  2. We love Canterbury and always enjoy a visit there, so steeped in history and the Cathedral is magnificent. My goddaughter lives there so we are able to park at her house and either walk in or take a bus. The parade looks so colourful. Regards Sue H

  7. I am just listening to some lute music on-line, and I opened another window and went to your blog and found all the costumes to go with the music! It looks like so much fun. I hope Bob is recovering well.
