Saturday 16 July 2011 Off to Cambridge this morning on the A1 in the pouring rain!!!!@#$ It really was chucking it down and consequently the trip was quite stressful for Kev and for me also. We are just sitting recuperating prior to heading off down town for a spot of lunch and a look around. Can’t let the opportunity go by to have a bit of a look at Cambridge! Mum you will be pleased to know that I now have a bright pink raincoat so Kev can keep tracks on...
