(Though she does not ride a bicycle ;-) Visits to her in that idyllic setting always seem a touch unreal, and isn't there a lamp post on Jesus Green the students call 'reality checkpoint' because it separates the wardrobe world of Cambridge from the town proper? Still, it's all irresistible. Ever been to the picture house cinema, or the Rupert Brooke pub at Granchester? Your boys would love that jaunt along the river - and so would you I'd guess.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565718017535724394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-35333206763863876392010-08-23T13:05:06.423+00:002010-08-23T13:05:06.423+00:00Cambridge is indeed beautiful.

But all those girls with lustrous hair were probably, from overseas - it's not term time yet, so the girls who embrace on A-level results day won't have arrived yet.

I worked at University of Southampton for 11 years and, although the campus is an attractive one, the only building of note, amongst those of Basil Spence, is the Hartley Library.<br /><br />Incidentally, I went in search of a post office in Cambridge, when I was at the folk festival in 2005. I needed to tax the car. After a very long walk, I found myself in a run down and slightly menacing part of the city. It may have been within walking distance of the University but, it felt like a million miles.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-16876817769845146242010-08-21T10:52:07.143+00:002010-08-21T10:52:07.143+00:00Cambridge is so much nicer than Oxford - I lived f...Cambridge is so much nicer than Oxford - I lived for years in one and now live near the other. The centre is compact and the river runs through the middle past all the pretty bits. I loved living there (as a townie not gownie) and if I had to move anywhere C'bridge is at the top of my list. I'm feeling all nostalgic about it now!Annabel Gaskellhttp://gaskella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-22938359477345129602010-08-21T09:33:10.953+00:002010-08-21T09:33:10.953+00:00Wow,
