When I was in England this past March I spent most of my time in Kent. During the week I went to Rochester for a visit and it was a rainy day. I enjoyed visiting the Guildhall and the Cathedral but it was difficult to take many photos because of the weather. I had to find an entryway or another sheltered spot where I could put down my umbrella and take pictures. I didn’t end up venturing too far from where there were buildings and sidewalks. Still, I thought it would be nice to return on a sunny day because it was a charming place.
Later in the week I had that opportunity so I took a train back to Rochester to see it in the sunshine. It was so different to see everything on a bright (and breezy) day! I took pictures of some of the same places I had just been to show the contrast. And even though it was March there were flowers so I’ve included a picture of them too. It was really interesting to see what a difference sunshine and blue sky made!

You were lucky to have the opportunity to return and see the city in a “new” light. We plan our trips for months but there is nothing we can do but make the most of it and it looks like you did. :)

A sunny day can make a huge difference, although I love that the rain sometimes keeps the crowds away when travelling :-) Looks like a wonderful holiday Meg.
