After running errands on what seemed to be a very grey Saturday, the afternoon brought us glorious sunshine! It was still a little chilly, but we have had days up to +10 degrees lately, so we really shouldn't complain...

I was prepared to spend a quiet afternoon indoors, but with the sun streaming through the windows Our Boy and I quickly decided to catch a few of those rays (and to start shedding some of the excesses of Christmas) and went to Grantchester to go for a walk around Byron's Pool - named after Lord Byron who used to swim at the weir pool.
We both enjoy walking together and having some good conversations.
We were almost all alone on our walk - as you can see from the picture, it was probably getting a bit dark. But we got a taste of what lies in wait if the snow and cold doesn't come back...
We ended our brisk walk with a hot drink in the Orchard - "a corner of England where time stands still as the outside world rushes by". One of their specialities are scones and Our Boy enjoyed a huge scone with clotted cream and jam...
- Oh, to be a teenager again and able to eat anything your like without it showing a single ounce...
Heldige dere!!!!! Jeg prøvde meg også på en tur i skogen i går ettermidag, men måtte gi opp. Hele stien var dekket av tykk og blank is og vann. Ikke mye bedre i dag heller. Forhåpentlig vår i sikte om 6-8 uker. Ha en fin søndag.
ReplyDeleteHei!! Det så ut som et fint tur område!! Jeg vet ikke så mye om Lord Byron, men det var en skole i Athen som het Byron collage eller noe. Bristisk sådan, så det må være en slags sammenheng. Sconsen så god ut også..... AnneK.:-)
ReplyDeleteFor et nydelig sted! Vel verdt å tilbringe en søndag der :)
ReplyDeleteOg cappucino cupcakes - mmmm....
Nyt kvelden og den nye uka!
Klem fra Tove
Så aldeles nydelige bilder!!!
ReplyDeleteSer ut som ein perfekt ittemiddag :o)
Ja, visst har det varit ljuvliga dagar för promenader, även om kylan har bitit lite i kinderna. Vi gick på en VÄLDIGT lerig promenad i skogen igår, och jag fick nästan slänga in hela pojkarna i tvättmaskinen efteråt, men det var det värt!
ReplyDeleteVäldigt vackra områden runt dig ser jag att det finns och att avsluta med dessa scones låter som en yummy, yummy idé...
Tack för krya-på-ryggen-hälsningar - de värmde.
Varma hälsningar och nyårskramar,
Helena
