Chaplain of Canterbury Cathedral prayer
by Jenniflower
We were well pleased to have been there when the Chaplain decided to come forward and address the people in the Cathedral.
He spoke briefly re things of the world, and prayed for those in need. It was a lovely prayer, and much needed at this time.
Being a Christian (although not of this particular denomination), I fully support the need for prayer and supporting those in need. We basically need to take our eyes off ourselves for a change, and see what we can do for others.
Okay, I will get off my soap box now ;) lol
The Interior Of Canterbury Cathedral...
by coceng
Canterbury is the origins of The English Christianity. It is the site where St. Augustine, the monk sent by Gregory the Great to Christianize the English, baptized King Etherbert of Kent on Whit Sunday in 597. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, and his church, dedicated to Christ Jesus, was later burned by the Danes during the reign of Archbishop Alphege.

Old world, good food and ambiance galore!
by Jenniflower about The Old Weavers House
To go on the row boat tour of the Stour River, you have to go through this ancient restaurant. It says 1500 on it's door, but it was actually built in 1495.
After the boat ride, as we had eye-balled the delicious looking and smelling meals of the other patrons there, we sat down and had a scrumptious meal.
Food, service, wine and ambiance (being alongside the river Stour) were all brilliant! Only downside was 'the usual problem'... only one loo for the ladies and a queue... lol... so I ventured into the mens... We enjoyed the lamb and steak cutlets. My sister opted for the seafood dish... we were all very sated with our meals. The red wine was good too! (it was from South Africa, so this wasn't a surprise hehe)
Greek
by kentishgirl about Manolis Taverna
This is the smallest restaurant I have ever been in! You feel like you are sitting in your dining room its that small.
But, this makes the service all the better, it has a really personal atmosphere, and the staff are cool.
There are photographs taken from all over Greece on the walls, and the staff are Greek too - its a small run business. Anything from the menu has always been first class.
Kleftiko, Moussaka, Mezes, Baklava etc etc !
House wine served in carafes is food - take it easy though!
Great food!
by kentishgirl about The City Arms
The City Arms is actually a pub, and has recently reopened.
Its clean and modern with tall wooden stools and tables....a really friendly little place with a superb menu! One of my best pals is the chef here, and she decides what goes on the menu...hence its excellent!
The homemade burger in Ciabatta with fries is superb, the sandwiches are huge and tasty...Crab and Prawn, Steak etc.
There is something for everyone on the menu, the food is both excellent and reasonably priced.
