Cambridge - A Walk About

Locals were out walking the footpath between Tiara's and the town centre.  They were bundled against the cold even though the day was dry.  The wind itself brought the cold that drilled right down to the bone.  Every once in a while there would be a reprieve from the constant wind and you would see folks straighten up and their stride lengthen.

The trick was to get through and out the co-fen as quickly as possible. Although the path was paved it was open to the elements and the wind seemed to gust over the river Cam and pick up even more of an ice burg chill!  The yellow glow through the windows of taverns and pubs made them seem warm and inviting but they were situated on the town side of the river and the closest access was to get to the Cam bridge and cross over. The river itself was burbling high along the bank edges as if enjoying a game of chance and hoping for new found freedom. Of course Liv was attracted to the water and after running back and forth along the path she found herself standing at the edge of the bank and staring into the current of dark water. Immediately Tiiara was issuing warnings. Liv was unfased.  She was impervious to the cold. Wearing the Gap hoody under the rich warm navy coat was perfect armour against the cold.

Crossing the bridge we sauntered down cobbled streets and past small expensive shops that were decorated for Christmas. The scene was traditional like something out of "Scrooge".   There was just enough light from the decorations to make window shopping magical!  We pressed on until we came to a favorite little tea and scone shop,  delicious food and yes hold onto your hats because the surprise was gluten free scones and they were delicious!
