Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy - The Matthew is moored in Ramsgate harbour at the moment, this is a 1996 replica of the ship that John Cabot set sail in back in 1497, he thought he was headed towards Asia, but ended up discovering North America.


More recently The Matthew played the starring role in the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. She is about to be refitted to the way she looked in that movie and sail to London for the launch of the DVD next week.

It's hard enough to drink the wine - made a flying visit to Canterbury this afternoon and just had time to take this shot of the entrance to the cathedral. The Starbucks coffee shop on the right of the entrance was the shop where Bob Johnson (played by John Sweet) watches the parade from in the final scene of the 1944 Powell and Pressburger movie A Canterbury Tale.
