Yesterday we had a wonderful time creating brass rubbings( also did them while at university in 1978)at St. Martin’s in the Fields. It is a Christopher Wren designed church at Trafalgar Square. We also enjoyed a marvelous lunch in the crypt (not as creepy as it sounds) and a breath taking vocal concert in the sanctuary following. 

We then went to the British Library (more exciting than it sounds) and saw written works ranging from ancient texts to the Beatles.  We even saw original scores of Mozart and Bach!!!!

As a HUGE fan of BBC Sherlock, we had to stop by Speedy’s and “221B Baker Street” I’m afraid it all looks a bit smaller and shabby…but I was thrilled to be there.

GOODBYE LONDON…HELLO CAMBRIDGE-Friday

After a harrowing, but successful tube ride to Kings Cross train station, we boarded a high speed train to Cambridge. We walked a good mile or so to Christ’s College, where we settled into a lovely modern and very nice room for the night.

After dropping of luggage, we went out for a meal and sightseeing…lots more walking!. At 5:00, we took a punting tour on the River Cam…it was absolutely beautiful, but I couldn’t take photos with my tablet…low battery 😦 I will post some shots from our walk.

Cambridge is delightful…seems a bit more laid back than Oxford…not sure if they have a “town and gown issue” as well.  We have a walking tour scheduled before our departure for York…so we’ll see…
