Grandma is here, to much rejoicing from the children. She has been wandering around Cambridge getting her bearings and now it is time to make her look at stuff! We took her punting on the Cam and over to Ely to see the Cathedral. Ely is a lovely spot, plenty of space for the kids to riot in!
Little M is doing a project on the Victorians this term at school so there was more than usual interest in the Crimean war cannon.
We stopped at Devil's Dike on the way home so Grandma could see something Saxon. This is long ditch and mound (runs for about 10miles) dug to keep out the locals by saxons. There are quite a lot of them about east anglia.
We had a beautiful day for punting, lovely hazy autumn day, not too many people out on the river and the leaves on the wall of St Johns are stunning red. Even had a pair of swans to accompany us!

Well I am missing Grandma and I think she should come back to Tasmania so we can do some sewing together :)
Hope you are all having a good time. Sounds marvellous!
I still remember the punting.
Matt
