No grape picking for us this year, but we decided to go to Cambridge anyway, firstly as Cambridge Rugby Club were at home on the Saturday and second as a "toe in the water" following a short convalescence after a throat operation.

As usual, in no time we were there and pitched and really just dossed around for the afternoon with just a short walk to the local garden centre for tea and cake and a mooch about. Unfortunately, as with all garden centres, they are gearing up to the most awful time of year - Cackmas! The cake was good though.
On Saturday it was a first major test of the new, improved throat with a scrumptious full English breakfast in the garden centre followed by a walk to the Rugby Club through Trumpington, Grantchester and into Cambridge. It was a gorgeous sunny day and a beautiful walk, so much nicer than the hike we have endured for the last 20 or so years in Twickenham. Our first outing to our new rugby club was great - the performance against Cornish Pasties not so good, but it was a great day out. We watched a bit of England v Chile in the world cup before walking back to the van.
After the long walk on Saturday we dossed about on Sunday, just having a short cycle to Waitrose to pick up some provisions.
Tuesday was up, pottered about and home in no time at all.
