'Slice him in half!'


We stumbled on the Cambridge Country Fair this afternoon while we were in the city center trying to set up accounts. Definitely a different fair vibe than in the U-S-of-A. Not a funnel cake or hotdog to be seen. Rather we ate falafel with humus and soft serve ice cream. The attractions were part state fair (horses, sheep, ponies to pet) and a huge assortment of monster blow-up slides and these wild plastic balls you get into And roll around in. Everything cost a fortune (the equivalent of $8 American for harry and Charlotte to spend five minutes inside a moon bounce, which if you do the math, makes Disney positively affordable).

But there were some awesome moments - harry rode on his first roller coaster!! And a farcical knights in Armour sword fight. The little British tikes were all booing the black knight and cheering on Sir William 'slice him in half!' it took Harry five seconds to pick up on it and begin parroting the jargon. Paul and I were in stitches.
