Springtime Stroll in Canterbury! A Beautiful Painted Town

#springitinerary The recent sunshine has been amazing! 😄 (Some online said the UK "stole" Spain’s sunshine 😂). I found a beautiful photo spot at Westgate Gardens! There’s a magnolia branch hanging down — you can stand behind it and pretend to smell the flowers, it’s perfect for a cute shot with your friends. 📸 Getting to Canterbury from London: It’s super easy! 🚆 Take the subway to King's Cross Station, then walk to St Pancras International. Exit the underground and follow the signs inside the station. Catch the train to Canterbury West (make sure it’s the West station!). Once you arrive, it's just a 3-5 minute walk to the popular Westgate Gardens park. At Westgate Gardens: The flowers are in full bloom now! 🌸 It’s still gorgeous — and the water is crystal clear, sparkling beautifully under the sunshine. ✨ However, I noticed that this year’s flowers are shorter compared to last year, which makes them harder to photograph perfectly. Maybe it's just me, though! 🤷♀️ #thingstodo
