I like your list…………..and oh, you made me homesick! I know Canterbury so well! I lived in Maidstone, worked in Ashford and Dover and went to Canterbury to shop and wander and find hidden corners!
Thankyou for sharing your list.

I don’t think that I love you any more!!!!! I have been stuck over there on Yahoo Sudoku for ages when I should have been doing other things! Did I really need yet another distraction, Michael?
BTW, I was born in Ryde … the one in New South Wales
