Punting

We've been visiting friends in Cambridge this weekend: Saturday on the river (punting to Grantchester for a picnic), and meeting people today. The weather's swelteringly hot, and it's just got to the end of term (graduation Thursday to Saturday, in order of college foundation dates), so the city was packed. Fortunately, the river wasn't too busy, and---although busier than normal---peaceful above the rollers (up which one drags the punt, to get to the upper river).

Lovely to see 'everyone', and well worth a hot and sticky journey home. We've got two weddings to attend in August, and we saw the bride for one, and the couple of the other: plans appear to be going well, and they should both be memorable occasions. One's in Dorset, which we'll break up the travel for in Ludlow; the other's in Derby, which I intend doing in a day.

Of course, having been away for the weekend, I'll now need to find time during the week to mow the lawn...
