Welcome to today's #marketfriday hosted by our dear 
I have to imagine myself enjoying this amazing cappuccino in a woodland Cafe in England today. As I'm awaiting my car's repairs there are no markets for me in the present New England, but I love revisiting those wondeful days in Old England , marketing in Canterbury.
This Window view was from the Cafe Nerro in Canterbury. Now, I freely admit the cappuccinos were better in this little local place just a few miles from here in Bridge, where we had our house, but I Loved this building.
This cafe Nerro was in one of the old buildings in Canterbury that boasted having been visiting by Queen Elizabeth and that is the First one, not the current. It was one of my favourite spots to sit up here and look down onto the High street.
I suppose most old buildings claim this or that 'slept here' but in such an old place as Canterbury you could well believe it. If one believed in ghosts, you'd be bumping into them left and right.
I wondered what they thought, these Victorian and Elizabethan ghosts milling about, as modern people drank coffees and wrote on odd glowing boxes
At this time, it was the Christmas season and the lights were going up between the buildings. I even indulged in browsing the over priced soaps and things at LUSH.
I Love Canterbury and every Saturday they have an open air market and one could buy so many things.
My favourites were the foods as many local farmers would sell the best local raised or locally hunted meats, pheasant sausage or a brace of squab could be had easily enough. There is something magical about cobbled streets and old buildings in a walled city.
Even in the evening one could happily walk the little thoroughfares and marvel at the window displays; dreaming of what indulgences you could manage, depending on how full your purse was for the day.
Of course we always found enough spare change for gelato or a sweet treat.
And there always seems room enough, and a pound or two, for another cappuccino
Today, I have to content myself with my morning fire and a hot pot of tea. My 'marketing' today will be on my morning ramble when I'll go "shopping" for some moss or twigs, perhaps some new shells and sea stones, they are great art supplies and decorative object for the window ledges after all.
I really Miss Ole' Blighty and hope to return again soon, but for now I'll recall happy days spent shopping and poking about the old walled city of Canterbury and the lovely countryside of Kent.
I hope all of you had a lovely day out Marketing even if it was simply recalling wonderful markets of your past.
