Camping in Canterbury

Having flown from Shannon to Stansted Airport, we made our way down to Canterbury via the train (taking in the London underground). Managed to find the campsite which lies on the outskirts of Canterbury, not far past where the army camp used to be:

Thankfully, I got about 11 hours sleep after trying to sleep on the floor at Shannon Airport the previous night.

Wish I'd been able to go camping in Britain and Ireland this year.

Canterbury: Passing Westgate Gardens

Another glance back at normal times from last summer with a sketch of the gondolas on the river Stour in Canterbury:

Inside Westgate Gardens, a large group of people seemed to be doing Yoga-type exercises:

Tower House, where many weddings and wedding receptions take place:

Drinking Zwierzyniec Beer in Zamość

 After our 4-5 hour coach journey from Warsaw to Zamość, our reward was a wonderful drink of Zwierzyniec with our meal at the Armenian restaurant in the Rynek (city square) of Zamość:

My travelling colleague (from Bury, Lancashire), Perry, said that it was one of the best beers he'd ever tasted. He also liked the Rynek, of course:

Every time I visit Zamość, I find something different to admire in the Rynek:

Modlin Airport Restaurant

Had to wait a couple of hours for a friend to arrive from Manchester at Modlin Airport, but this was made a lot more bearable by the restaurant that stands opposite the airport:

After having chips with a big plate of mixed salad inside, which was tasty and not too expensive, I was then able to sit outside, relaxing with a pint in the early evening sunshine.

My Vegetable Curry

 Was really pleased with how my vegetable curry and rice turned out:

First, I simmered a nice selection of vegetables (carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, aubergine, and courgette) together with vegan sausage.

After draining some of the water, I then added a jar of mild curry which contained the magical ingredient, coconut milk.

And, of course, the rice was gently soaked in olive oil, a kind of trick of the trade I've learned recently.

Before Lublin, Stopover Place

 A nice stopover place, not far before Lublin, on the Warsaw-Zamość journey:

The break was about 20 minutes, just enough time for my friend, Perry, to have a nice, cold glass of Perła which is brewed in Lublin, of course.
