| The Green Man at Grantchester |
Margaret's test were going very well and due to finish earlier than scheduled, so Mike decided they could stay an extra day to make the drive home easier. We were due home at the weekend so we left on Friday and stopped at the pretty village of Grantchester.  |
| The orchard at the tea house |
The tradition of taking afternoon tea in The Orchard tea house, at the former lodgings of poet Rupert Brooke, is still followed by students to this day. They claim to have served tea to more famous people than anywhere in the world. The list in their booklet is certainly impressive.
The orchard is still set out with traditional deck chairs and tables and the more hardy visitors were eating outside. We were tempted - but it was warmer and just as traditional to eat inside too. Arrived home at 4:30 after stopping at Waitrose.

Stands the church clock at ten to three
and is there honey still for tea
