Cambridge from our view - Tink and the Teach

This is a distant relative of the tree that Isaac Newton saw apples fall from which made him think about his theory of gravitation.


We went on a treasure hunt of sorts to find A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh manuscripts.   They are kept in a special viewing box at Wren Library.  No photography or loud voices allowed.  You get a peek at the courtyard from Chariots of Fire.


King's College Chapel - when Oliver Cromwell was in charge he didn't like  the decorative style of churches like this one.  This church was used as a stable and someone even drew on the walls. See the reddish outline of a horse?

  1. What gorgeous pictures. We sure do miss that little smiley face in the lunchroom. And I know Garret misses his friend. Garret is praying for you all.

  2. By the way, Garret has informed me that things are not the same around the playground without Hope. He misses how the two groups would conspire against eachother. Girls -vs- Boys.
