Cultrual Education Abroad


This weekend Canterbury has invited the world to Dane John Gardens for a food fest.
The Germans brought sausage, the French the cheese, Italy the leather goods, then there was Kent's own produce. Wine and beer flowed liberally. Special demonstrations were held through out the day starting at 10:30 AM.
To continue my study of cultures I volunteered to help the Brew Master, making me a brew mistier. Of course the sampling was part of the job.
The French sent their own Chocolatier Madame Iforget to tempt the audience with dark rich Belgian chocolate. It is because French chocolate is not fattening it should be part of every diet.
Viva la France!
The gardens were lovely as well.
The play in the Cathedral was the frosting on the crepe.
Dallas Sweetman written by Sebastian Barry is a work that was prepared for production in the nave of the Cathedral with pipe organ accompaniment and live musicians, thou unseen by the audience.
The production so stirring I will return tomorrow for service, just to hear the organ again, the acoustics are profound.
