Day Twenty Three - Cambridge

Today was a trip into Cambridge - It's been 4 years since Jo and I were here and it was another stunningly sunny day in England so it sounded like a good plan. We must've brought the good weather with us like last time.

Cambridge in the sun

Barry drove us girls in and let us lose for some shopping while he parked the car. Not much has changed but the shopping area certainly has! The new (well, new for us) Lion Yard is now much bigger with new shops including G-Star :) Jo and I both spent most of our birthday money in here - Jo on two tops and me on a skirt and top.

Corpus Christi looking magnificent

Cambridge really is a lovely city, it's not until you go away and come back you realise just how picturesque the place is, especially in summer. We got asked twice if we wanted to go punting (we went last time) and there were plenty of people out enjoying the water and the parks. Including the cows that were roaming around on the walk in - Jo tried to be friendly and say hello but the cow was a bit grumpy.

Me and Mum by the river

We wandered around the usual places like Marks & Spencer before going home via Mum & Barry's allotment to pick some fresh rhubarb for dessert and some onions. Yum! There were a few strawberries left too so we nibbled on a few of those too.

After that, we popped in to say hello to my Nan and see how she's doing - she turns 90 this year and is looking well. It was lovely to see her again after all this time. We then did our last stop of the day to see my brother and Kim and my little nephew for the first time.

Awwww! Little Noah and his favourite plastic cups

Little Noah didn't fail to impress us all with his skills stacking little plastic cups and is too cute for words! Looking forward to catching up with Justin & Kim later in the week and see the cutey again.
