Impromptu Cambridge Trip...

Most weekends are spent in bed, at a market, hanging out with friends or exploring a new part of London...This is all good fun...gives us that feeling as though we have had a semi productive but mostly relaxing weekend which in reality is what we want/need after a long week...
Some days however, we decide to jazz things up and escape...without telling anyone...just go.
Here is a recap of our impromptu day trip to Cambridge...a magical Harry Potter style city...Very British...Very quaint...Very proper.

So, after rolling around in bed and debating our options, we finally decide to just go to the train station and see whats up...
Once there we find out that tickets are cheaper than we expected...zing!
Board the train...with obviously 3 min to spare...No one likes having to wait.
Beside us sits a man with a long grey pony tail wearing a leather jacket...I would say in his mid 60s. With him he has his pal Henry...A black puppy that looks like a lab but is 5 times smaller...And not because he is a puppy...Henry is two years old and fully grown.
T pulls out his planning folder, being the organized teacher that he is...and I sit...secretly wanting to play with the puppy...
Not being able to resist I strike up conversation...just to get me closer to my ultimate goal...
I get introduced to Henry, who remains sitting on his chair, anxiously waiting to go visit his sister and aunty just outside of Cambridge for a week...Grey pony tail turns out to be a magician...with a pin attached to his mean leather jacket that says he is part of the magicians secret magic group...Not joking...So no, I did not get to play with Henry but I did get an hour and twenty minutes of free entertainment from Robin G Magician...Member of Zodiac Magical Society...:)
After being mind blown for over an hour we arrive in Cambridge.
The rest of the day is pretty uneventful. Cambridge is a beautiful little town with a stunning university campus and a lot of old churches. A canal runs through it that offers boat tours in the rain with a bunch of strangers all cuddling under the same blanket...No...we did not participate.
Instead we walked around...took pictures...found a tiny hole in the wall coffee shop that gave us shelter from the unexpected down pour...As well as delish soup, coffees and sandwiches...
That was pretty much it...oh...and I bought a pair of boots...:)....(see more photos on the snapshots blog...)
