Fudge and Tea in - Cambridge Pt.6

Let's forget the frost, ice and snow for a moment and revisit Cambridge.

Here we are, passing the fudge makers! Do we go in? Well, yes we do and that is not all

After watching the fudge being made





and sampling a taster

I could not resist the counter
and what did I buy?
4 slices, each slice being large enough to cut into about 12 portions
Lemon Meringue, Rum & Raisin, Toffee and Vanilla
On arrival home I realised that as it was made with fresh cream it did not last long
I can't eat all this in 10 days
Fortunately when I telephoned the shop I was assured that it could be frozen - phew!!

Next stop is tea before heading for the car
Here we have a combination of Chapel and Tea room
in the hall belonging to one of the churches




Now I will return to the snow and ice briefly to show you the icicles hanging from my roof
I made the mistake of opening the window
which sent icicles hurtling to the ground narrowly missing the car
parked below. Oops!

Retail Therapy in - Cambridge Pt. 5

A random look at some of the shops as we walk around Cambridge.
You will see that a lot of the windows have interesting
reflections in them




























The students use every railing to advertise some activity

Some Views Around - Cambridge Pt. 4

A small view of a little of Cambridge


There are still a few of the old telephone boxes around



On the railings of the church one can see many adverts of the various college activities and clubs













We come across the Marketplace







A stall selling many kinds of loose tea

A very life like model of a Cornish Fisherman above the Cornish Pasty shop
For the uninitiated a pasty is a selection of meat and vegetables encased in pastry - a throwback from the days when men took their meal with them into the fields 

Bycicles everywhere and more college adverts



The entrace to Clare College 1326

 


There has to be somewhere to sit and drink tea
We found a place we liked better
