I can't tell you how many times I've photographed Bridge Street and finally it's made it. Probably because I'm so desperate for some colour. And maybe because I managed to zoom in enough to avoid one of the annoying traffic lights. A very ancient street that used to house various brothels and opium dens and now houses some of the few independent shops that can afford Cambridge rents. Just calming down after I with some difficulty changed Adam's optician's appointment to avoid basketball only to be told (8 hours after I texted him) that it's now in the middle of 'more important' hockey training and can I change it back. I doubt it - it's tomorrow. Grrr.
Three good things:
1. Mum and Dad have tracked down why the Christmas gift they arranged to send me hasn't arrived - it's been booked in for Feb 2014.
2. I've finally made this year's blackberry jam and I hope it will cheer up my friend who's ill.
3. The Royals are coming tomorrow. Will and Kate are coming to see their Duchy. I will go and mingle with the flag wavers - anything for a novel photo and they seem nice!
@cdonohoue I'm guessing like me you could afford some (Save the Children, the flower shop and the newsagent) but not Bang and Olufsen and the designer dress place!! There's a nice handbag place that's alright for a special treat as well.
What a brilliant photo! I never thought of taking a shot from here. Enjoy the Royals tomorrow - looking forward to seeing your pictures. Hope it's not raining - what a time of year to come!
@humphreyhippo Mmmm 2014 - even better! @busylady I know - I think we've been well down their list after more exotic places. They are getting a tour of 'Cambridge grit' rather than our prettier spots - glad it's not just the university anyway. I'll clean my lens this time - unlike my Queen shot last year!
Love it, love it Judith!! No ugly TV aerials just a bunch of your lovely bicycles & that fabulous roof line. I actually had an intake of breath when I saw this!!!
A rather long time to wait for your Christmas treat!!! Looking forward to the royal shots tomorrow.
Lovel it. Those higgledy-piggledy (if that's how it's spelt!) houses are so well captured and the clolours are good to see on yet another dull day. Fav
This looks way nicer than Georgetown! The colors are fantastic. I wish I could be there to see Wills and Kate. They make a cute couple. Hope you can take pics.
Simply fabulous! Love every thing about this charming shot.
Good luck with your Royals photo shoot tomorrow...should you decide to brave the crowds with your flag and camera. :)
A very lovely picture and an instant fav for me. I don't know if you know "Postcard row" in San Francisco but this surely beats it to the most beautiful line of houses ;).
@lauralatham Opposite Kettle's Yard with my zoom lens - it's hard to get a get POV - for some reason the Zoom worked - maybe because I could avoid some of the traffic lights somehow.
What cool looking shops. I would love to drop in there and shop - but I'm betting I couldn't afford it
Is postponing Christmas until Feb an option? I'd be interested...
