Cambridge - NOT amateur radio

Every Wednesday, I go into Cambridge on the bus for my University of the 3rd Age lecture. It is all too easy to take it for granted, but it has some very fine buildings that people cross the world to see. One of these is King's College Chapel shown in the photo.

A view of Chippenham village and church (near Cambridge) earlier this week.

This is a photo of me earlier this week at Hare Park, Chippenham, near Cambridge. There are snowdrops everywhere!

My wife says I am expecting triplets!

This is another view of Hare Park showing the lake. At this time of year the extensive gardens are open so the public can see the millions of snowdrops that carpet much of it.

When first erected this bridge was supposedly made without nails.

Every year, the grounds of this place open to the public so people can see the snowdrops. At a guess, there must be millions here. The photo shows one of the lakes.

Bark - NOT amateur radio

This bark was seen yesterday at Hare Park at Chippenham near Cambridge.  

There is different Chippenham in Wiltshire.

Tempted? - NOT amateur radio

After Christmas, quite a few people go on diets to lose some weight after eating too much over the break.

Winter - NOT amateur radio

These plants were seen in the grounds of King's College, Cambridge. I am not sure what they are. 

In the summer they will look great I am sure.  At the moment they look like mop heads!

Warning - NOT amateur radio

People come from all over the world to see the famous King's College Chapel in Cambridge. Imagine coming thousands of miles and seeing.... scaffolding! Much of the building has scaffolding both inside and out. Some side chapels are closed.

Even though it is only January 6th there were some daffodils and aconites in flower in the grounds, and a kite (bird) overhead. Seeing a kite in central Cambridge would have been amazing 30 years ago.

Christmas cheer - NOT amateur radio

 

These musicians were in the marketplace in Cambridge earlier today. They were trying to bring a little Christmas cheer to shoppers.
