Aswell. Day 3

On the Sunday morning we were enjoying coffee in the garden and were delighted to have low flying display by a red kite over the garden house.  We had superb views, allowing the rich colours to show well.  In the afternoon we visited Cambridge in order to visit the excellent Kings College Fellows gardens.

Cambridge and Lincoln

We had to pick our daughter up from Stansted Airport at 11.30 pm on 6th August so we decided to make a short break of it by booking the Premier Inn at Stansted for all of us for the night and calling in a Cambridge and Lincon on the way there and back.

We enjoyed pottering round Cambridge and the Backs and had a great time punting (being punted!) through the colleges.

Lincoln the next day was just as pleasant a day and we enjoyed our visit to the newly restored Castle and walls and Magna Carta.
