OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA We arrived at Heathrow airport on Tuesday 11th February at 5.55am London time.  We waited in the terminal for a couple of hours before catching a coach at 9am to Cambridge where Tom picked us up at about 11.30. It was very cold (about 4 degrees) and windy but so good to see Family again after four months.

I awoke about 7 am Wednesday February 12 after almost a ten hour sleep, fortunately not really feeling the effects of jet lag. A clear cool day, only three degrees at Little Shelford! After breakfast Heather and I took Peter and Jemimah to school and preschool and then we drove to Cambridge to pickup the hire car. Tom went to college about lunch time.  We enjoyed pizza lunch with Jessy and Annabelle at The Deli Cafe and Bistro, Great Shelford. The artisan pizzas are quite amazing! We had a finocchiona salami, chargrilled artichoke, roasted peppers and mozzarella cheese with basil and sun blushed cherry tomatoes + grated pecorino pizza and another pizza - braised leeks, fresh thyme, gorgonzola dolce and 24 month parmesan.

I spent some time in the afternoon photographing architecture at Little Shelford including Jess & Tom’s Church All Saints Little Shelford. Lovely old colourful houses with thatched roofs. Looking forward to exploring Cambridge in the next day or so. Especially Cambridge University (Clare College) where Tom is doing his PhD.

The streets are very narrow and when driving, you often have to pull over to allow vehicles to pass. Everyone is so polite waving in acknowledgment. 

We will be staying in Little Shelford for another week with Family before we begin a seven day tour of Northern England and Wales. we then return to Little Shelford for four days before touring Southern England for seven days. We have another two days at Little Shelford before flying home.
