Another jaunt around the magnificent Kent countryside that started this morning. First trip to Maidstone, with an intermezzo of lunch at base here in Teynham, and then over to Canterbury for the afternoon session.

In Maidstone, I gobbled a delicious Greggs sarnie, had a pint of ale at the Muggleston Inn and bought a paperback from the Oxfam shop, specifically in the Icon range , “Introducing Psychoanalysis”. I though I might become an amateur Dr.Frazier Cane ha ha!



The beer was a very tasty quaffable Exmoor Hart (4.8 % ABV).

In Faversham, stopping off to get some cash on the way to Canterbury, I bought two more charity accrued paperbacks for 25p each. One of them on the behest of a friend. “The Girl Who Played With Fire” by Stieg Larsson (Quercus) and “The Knife Man” by Wendy Moore, with a subtitle of “Blood,Body Snatching and The Birth Of Modern Surgery”. Perhaps a title for Zoe to read as I borrowed from her “The Diary of Jack The Ripper, The Chilling Confessions of James Maybrick” (John Blake publishers).





I have yet to see any of the Millenium films, based on the books of Stieg Larsson, and until I have read “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” I will.not watch any until I have devoured the books. I have a fondness for the Scandinavian crime novels,e specially those of Henning Mankell and his protagonist Kurt Wallander.

Plus,I finished another chapter of “A Life Of Montaigne” and bought anew cardigan for myself from Next., as well as another pint at the Westgate Inn.

The ale i had here was from Colorado, USA,  Odell 90 Shilling (5.3 % ABV) , a dark ruby ale of scrummy spicy maltiness, which uses East Kent Goldings and Styrian Goldings hops.
