roemin around

It was time for us to go home as the site was full again over the weekend. Mike managed to arrange to stay a few more nights as Margaret was still in hospital. We helped him move from the disabled pitch to the pitch we vacated before we left. Not a very nice day again, so we drove straight home.

More rain overnight, Mike was visiting Margaret so we set off to go to Cambridge on the bus just as the heavens opened. We scurried back for shelter and to get a bigger umbrella! Slow journey into town with all the roadworks, did a bit of shopping and used the discount card to have lunch at Prezzo.  Watched a bit of punting, makes a change from football. Equally slow journey back. Watched more football.

Wednesday should have been the best day of the week, it started sunny and we had breakfast outside, but it soon clouded over. We moved pitch to be closer to M&M and then we all went to visit the Botanic Gardens in Cambridge. Very nicely set out in different areas with typical plants for that area and a good cafe. Rosemary bought a plant for the dry area under our willow tree. Margaret had a call to say she had to go back to Addenbrooks, so we returned to site for Margaret to pick up an overnight bag.

Went to spend a few days in Cambridge at Cherry Hinton CC site with Mike and Margaret.  Stopped at a Little Chef for a snack and coffee.  Arrived late afternoon after taking a few diversions (ie going the wrong way) thru Mkt Harborough and Theddingworth.  M&M arrived a day earlier for Margaret to go for checks at Addenbrooks. We had the last empty pitch on the site under the limestone wall, in the shade.  We watched England beat Ukraine in the evening to top their Euro 2012 group and reach the quarter finals.
