The 1 hour 50 minute journey to Cambridge was good with no traffic. Perfectly timed during Madeleine's first nap, which she unfortunately decided she didn't actually need after all.

We spent the day wining and dining at various local establishments while taking in the sights. This was topped off by a fantastic guided punting tour of the river Cam, where we learned about the various University colleges, architecture, history and old stories. All blessed with amazing sunshine throughout.

After filling up on prime fillet steak at a French restaurant with Emily's Uni friends Pete and Charlotte, we had an early night ready for the day of adventures ahead.Read more

Another good journey, with a better sleep by Madeleine saw us arrive in Norwich to Coby and Jon's house. After a quick tour, cup of coffee and spot of lunch, we walked into town to absorb the sun and sites.
The impressive cathedral, churches and flint buildings interspersed with antique and boutique shops and a good smattering of pubs make this city a picturesque and quirky place to live.
After an amble through town, we visited the oldest pub in Norwich, the Adam & Eve, which is built in the walls of the cathedral grounds. Then on to a whisky shop to select something delicious for the evening ahead - Matt opting for an interesting looking Arran cask strength, sherry cask, and Jon going for the Loch Lomond Inchmoan, a smokey and spicey 12 year old single malt.
We're home now ready for dinner, board games and a wee dram of the new whiskies.Read more
TravelerMagical weekend. Beautiful weather; beautiful family. Wish we were there. Is that the Arron Bothy? Not a bad dram 😊

Today we treated ourselves to a fry up alla Jon and then drove to Eaton Park, a lovely recreational area with playgrounds, crazy golf, sports of all kinds etc. We opted for a spot of crazy golf, Matt taking the glory with a hole in one come back in the closing holes.
Then had a drink in front of a large pagoda listening to a talented classical guitarist busking. He kindly played 'Cavatina' for me. Then it was off to a country pub for an outstanding roast dinner snd relax by the river.
We're just about to head home now, Madeleine is already asleep so fingers crossed for a smooth journey.Read more
