It’s time for some college photos again!
I haven’t visited as many colleges as I wished to during the last few months. It’s December now and there are still 13 colleges left, so it’s very unlikely that I will have seen all 31 of them by the end of this year. It’s also too dark and cold at the moment to take pretty photos, so I have decided to postpone my ‘college challenge’ to spring next year. It’s the nicest season anyway here in Cambridge, I think! However, this break allows me to go through my backlog of photos and share them with you in the meantime! Let’s start with…
When you visit the UK or come to live here permanently you will soon realise that people here have a big love for preserving historic houses and gardens, art collections, coastlines and the countryside in general. Spending a day out at a stately home or a nature reserve is a popular thing to do for families, seniors and young people alike. The countryside in Great Britain is stunningly beautiful indeed and there is a huge variety of historic places to visit.
“Make sure you make the most of what’s left of summer. It’ll be gone before you know it.”
I came across this caption on Instagram the other day and suddenly felt somehow melancholic and sad. Summertime sadness is a thing indeed, especially in Cambridge. I have said goodbye to a few people this summer and it didn’t bother me too much, until I actually sat down and wrote this.
