Last Day of Summer

With 'Leeso' at Gog Magog

School begins tomorrow - a new country, a new school, and our baby girl's first day of class, ever. Suffice it to say I'm a little anxious. But we did our best today to close out the summer with a bang (or in this case a splash).

We returned to Gog Magog with the grandparents for lunch and a little horse lovin.'  Harry has named the brown one "Leeso," which I think is just delightful given the very friendly staff can't remember the horses' names (ever). 

After feeding them what seemed like half of a weeping willow tree, our crew walked to the River Cam for an hour of punting.

Wed at King's Chapel.....get naming rights.

Our guide Roman was charming and offered up a few choice tidbits I'd not yet heard: the reason there are cows on the King's Common green is that those ladies fortunate enough to wed at the chapel are offered a calf, which is bestowed with her maiden name, and lives its life out grazing on the turf. hmmm. I'm sure there were other things, but I was drinking Pimms at the time and it's all a bit blurry.
