A few weeks ago saw me and W attend another wedding (the second of the year – we’re taking advantage by stealing all the good ideas!), this time in Cambridge. One of my favorite cities, I couldn’t resist the chance to spend the day after having a good wander.
By chance it was probably one of the best days of the year so far. Beautifully sunny, almost warm – pretty much perfect. We had no plan, other than to just appreciate the winding streets, impressive colleges and beautifully kept gardens.
I did *have* to swing by the Cambridge Satchel shop though. Whilst I’ve never really been tempted with their bags (I find the leather feels a little flimsy compared to what I’m used to) I do appreciate some of their more unusual colours. They have a beige-y mushroom-y mink that I’m particularly lusting after…
Oh, and we managed to have a good catch up with an old friend over a cafe lunch – W went with a traditional cream tea, I let the side down with an indulgent combination of Coffee & Walnut Cake with a Hot Chocolate. Very nice it was too!
Having been to both Oxford and Cambridge relatively recently, I can definitely say Cambridge is my favorite of the two. I’ve really been enjoying exploring more of the UK over the last few years; I have my fingers crossed for a Scottish road trip this summer too!
Are you a fan of UK mini-breaks? Where’s your favorite UK city?
