Today we went to Cambridge, were shown round St. John's College (above), took tea there, and attended Evensong in the college Chapel. It's a bit of a story, but our Church, St. Mary's, has a connexion with St. John's College, Cambridge. It's a solid enough connection (not tenuous) but a bit complicated, so won't bore you with it; but the point is that members of St. Mary's Church are occasionally asked to visit (Ann went last year), and their Choir eventually returns the visit (planned for later this year).
Above shows Ann in a doorway between squares. The college was founded in 1511, and a good deal enlarged since then.
The young gentlemen marching across this square were part of the choir that sang to us later.
Took above photo of the river Cam from the bridge of sighs.
Took this photo of the bridge of sighs from the next bridge along.

Got home around nine p.m. Off to bed now.
Good night all.

It's years since we were in Cambridge - when we were checking Universities for our youngest son. In the end he went to Durham.
I believe a lot of youngsters do nowadays Pat; and I understand that Durham is very highly thought of.
The University I mean, although when we drove through Durham a good many years ago now, we were very impressed with the city.
P.s. For more (and certainly more professional) photographs please see Wendy Whitecat's blog.
That's a nice bit o' grass around the backs, Mike. And some altogether engagingly arranged architecture...
If those are 'snaps' you keep on snapping away, they'm proper easy on the eye... Specially that one of Annie!
