King's College Chapel, Cambridge - NOT amateur radio
We walk here most Tuesdays and rather take it for granted. Some people travel half way around the world, at great expense, to see it.

Bridge Street, Cambridge - NOT amateur radio
There are many fine buildings in Cambridge. Often these are associated with the university. Many that are not college buildings are owned by a college. I am not sure if this one, which dates from the 1500s, is owned by a college.

Nearly spring? - NOT amateur radio
According to the UK Met Office we are already in spring. I agree.
The photo collage shows Cambridge yesterday. Lots of daffodils out.

Our day - NOT amateur radio
On Tuesdays, we go to a free concert at the university in Cambridge.
We grab a bite to eat first, walk through the Grand Arcade and the grounds of King's College.
The collage here captures this.

King's Parade, Cambridge - NOT amateur radio
Occasionally the sun does shine in an English winter, although we have had far more rain than normal. Please don't say we have a hosepipe ban this summer!
The photo shows King's Parade on Monday when the sun was shining. King's College is out of shot on the left and the church is Great St Mary's, the university church.

Yesterday - NOT amateur radio
On Tuesdays, we go to a lunchtime university concert in Cambridge. This is free with a retiring collection. This involves a walk through the grounds of King's College, and we grab a bite to eat for lunch beforehand. We travel in to Cambridge by (free) bus. It is usually a very enjoyable day.

By King's - NOT amateur radio
At the end of January there are few punts on the River Cam. These Canada Geese have the river almost to themselves.

Punting on the River Cam last week - NOT amateur radio
As long as you wrap up well, I guess this time of year is a good time to go punting. The photo shows last Tuesday when it was cold and bright. In the summer the river can be busy.

A lot of grass! - NOT amateur radio
The colleges in Cambridge have a lot of grass to cut. King's College (shown in the photo) is no exception.
The college lawns are always immaculate. Mind you, I doubt they are short of money!

Outside our post office - NOT amateur radio
Our village (Burwell, Cambs, UK) is a mix of old and new buildings. This photo was taken about now several years ago. One of the trees was rotten and taken down, but has been replaced by a cherry tree.

Misty Cambridge - NOT amateur radio
When we went to Cambridge on the bus earlier, it was very misty.
This soon cleared and it has been a lovely day.

Grand Arcade, Cambridge - NOT amateur radio
The Grand Arcade in Cambridge is a covered indoor mall, near the centre of town. It has some big named stores as well as a Raspberry Pi shop for geeks! It is gearing up for Christmas.
This is a view on one of the quieter sides.

Lucky? - NOT amateur radio
Every Tuesday we go to see a free concert at Cambridge University. Today it was the Kingsmen who were male singers from King's College Choir. It was note perfect and sublime. It is very easy to take Cambridge for granted.

Medieval stained glass - NOT amateur radio
This stained glass is in King's College Chapel in Cambridge and dates from the 1500s.
As locals, we can get in to the chapel free.
The chapel is darker than normal as there is scaffolding and tarpaulins outside.
