Such a moving story – it brought tears in my eyes when you spoke of your grandmother. You have a deep family connection to this lovely place. I’m glad you could visit and share the experience with us.

Canterbury seems like a very charming place and I love the idea of doing a treasure hunt! I have to see if those exist here in Belgium! Going back to a place where you have family history sure is an emotional thing, but it can also be very positive to let out all these feelings.
The Tiny Tim’s tearoom seems at the same time very nice and cute and super creepy!!

Canterbury is such a lovely place. And yes, I can just imagine how special (and emotional) it must have been to stand in that very same spot where your grandparents got married. How beautiful are the flowers and river views … oh, and I would love a piece of that cake – looks delish 😉!

I would love to visit Canterbury Cathedral because of Thomas Beckett, but now I know the Black Prince is buried there, too, so bonus! And how nice that you got to see where your grandparents were married.

Haha, I haven’t actually explored much of the UK, so really, you’ve given me so many places to put on my bucket list for a future trip!
