Shelford Shenanigans

Just returned from a lovely eve in Lil' Shelford, where my friend Nick's parents live in a charming thatched roof cottage - complete with low ceilings and a fireplace. Nick and his girlfriend, and Andy and I, visited and had an incredible din dins with wine, tea, cake, apple crisp, and just a wee sip of Scotch. Then we stretched out on the floor next to the fire and chatted away. I can't even explain how much I love having a "home away from home" where I can escape for a bit to clear my mind and relax. Peeps here have such a graciousness about them that I find fascinating, if not a little daunting... it makes me think I have a lot to learn from Cambridge outside the classroom.

This is a thatched roof cottage, although not the one I was just in. Unfortunately, the sun still sets before 5 p.m. so I couldn't get a pic. But it looks sorta like this:

How many times must I say that I am soooo envious of you. Is that wrong? I don't think so. I'd tell you to "have fun" but I think you beat me to it. I love you Kate.
