A day in Cambridge seeing Geoff and his family. It's been nearly a month since he retired, and even longer since I've been up to Cambridge for one of our regular afternoon drinks and eats
Got there just before lunch, and straight off to the Regal. Wetherspoons, as usual, are kicking off their October Beer Festival in style, and there was a HUGE selection, including Butcombe Gold, Old Hooky, and Marston's Pedigree to name but a few.
So, after a couple of beers it was straight over to the Bun Shop for lunch, taking a leisurely stroll down Milton's Walk, with Geoff regailing us, as always, with the local history and significance of the pathway
Unfortunately, the ownership of the Bun Shop has changed since we were last there. So the food and wide selection of wines was somewhat lacking. However, we did manage a rather nice red, and afterwards descended on the Carlton Arms, Geoff's local, for a quick half before making our way back to the station.
All in all, a grand day out, and great to see Geoff enjoying his retirement, even if it means he's busier now than ever before
