    A few days with Janet

    August 25, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    On Wednesday we drove over to Cambridge to spend a few days with Janet. Today was a busy day, we went to the central Cambridge mosque in the morning. This is a spectacular building, very modern, but also incorporating traditional Islamic elements, and with wonderful attention to detail. I loved the sense of peace and tranquility.

    Afterwards we spent hours in the Fitzwilliam museum, full of Egyptian, Sudanese, greek, roman, Cypriot and Middle Eastern artifacts, and a big gallery of renaissance art.

    And ended up in the Cambridge round church, dating from 1115 ad.
