Tea, Scones, and Ergy Foul

Sunday was unusually sunny and warm, being close to 75 degrees all afternoon with bright blues skies and no clouds.  Leland took us to the next village, Grantchester, where we had the typical afternoon tea and scones (I bought a treat from one of the many tempting street vendors on the way, picture to the right).  The restaurant, The Orchard, had an incredible amount of outside eating with small wood tables and beach-like reclining chairs-adorable!  The "typical" tea and scones consisted of traditional tea for two (or one for Leland) that comes in miniature tea pots with cream, sugar, and accompanying cups.  Also, you chose from plain or fruit scones (we tried one of each), among all sorts of other treats: cakes, muffins, pastas, meats, etc...we just decided to do the stereotypical thing.  It was relaxing and fantastic.  The tea with cream (which I've never seen or tried before) was pretty good...I couldn't really even tell the cream was there, but it was good either way.  

That afternoon we stopped at the Cambridge Chophouse for a glass of wine in their quaint outside seating.  We read rando English magazines and people watched...very entertaining.  The one pictures with the wine glass is Stephen's artistic

 claim to fame 

(he's sitting beside me still saying how fantastic it is).  "The picture speaks for itself, frankly."  Anyway, the other pics are some of the interesting sites we saw.  Conclusions:  kids on a leash make it over here too (Hayley...),  when the weather's warm, some people feel free to wear anything, and it's perfectly acceptable to be a true tourist and takes pictures with favorite bartenders

; no one is shocked or rude.  

We're making the trek to Madrid tomorrow so it might be a few days before we get back in order.  We're leaving here at 5:00 to catch a train...exciting stuff.  If you ever come to Cambridge though, Leland is the host to stay with.  He plans exciting adventures without being overbearing about getting them done (and he helps us when we're lost or confused too haha).  He's fantastic!
