It has been brought to my attention that I haven't actually posted the pictures of my weekend in Cambridge. It was over a month ago now, back when it looked like England knew what summer was supposed to involve; it seems to have forgotten now.
I hadn't realised that punting, a traditional Cambridge activity, was planned for the afternoon, so I wasn't quite dressed for it, but we had fun none the less. Here is me actually punting and getting the boat to move in a forwards direction:

And here is me, crashing into a tree:

Damn overhanging branches, trying to grab the punt right out of my hands! I battled free though, with some assistance from all. And we had our very own pirate dog, when the boys rescued a punt from the grips of the river and offered it back she quickly leapt across and made herself some new friends... Pirate Dog!!!
I didn't really do many other touristy, photography-ing things while I was there, but it was nice. And there were pictures of punting. And yes, somebody did fall in, and no, it wasn't me- can you imagine me swimming in that dress?!
