Introduction
R and I went to Cambridge, primarily to visit R’s mum, and took a short walk to Grantchester in the afternoon.

We walked from our hotel through town to the river.
Point well made. (Graffiti near our hotel.)

There followed a pause for afternoon tea at the Orchard Tea Garden. Nice, but packed - R queued for a long time to get our order, while I found a place to sit in their garden.

We took a stroll around Grantchester village, and a look in their church.
