Check out the sharks below from the tunnel in the Aquarium! Scaryyyy!

Cream Tea at The Orchard Tea Gardens- yummy!

Last week, a group of us went for a long walk in the sunshine through some parks of Cambridge along the River Cam to Grantchester. It was a long walk, but we were lucky with the weather and had a good chat along the way!
