Premature anticipation

A couple of weeks ago, we went to Canterbury for the day. It's a very impressive place, with many a fine building to admire. Obviously, there is the cathedral, but that is soooo passée. No, we took far more enjoyment from the old, old buildings that are still around. By far the most interesting of them was this one.

Tucked away, but only a short walk from the cathedral is this little gem. How perfectly bizarre and yet quintessentially English, wot?

For us, though, Canterbury is quite a drive away. With that in mind, it was decided that we would have to leave pretty early in the morning to make a decent day of it.
I'm not a morning person.
With that in mind, then, when Julie felt like being playful, I was not what you could call receptive...
