At the Copper Kettle

The Copper Kettle is a Cambridge institution on King's Parade. I'm not actually sure that I've been in since I came for my interview but it has appeared before in my 365 Project - in my first January I think and it ended up on the local news when they did a feature on Ross. You can see the lovely 'window' of King's College wall reflected.
In sadder news, one of Adam's wider circle of friends has been killed in a cycling accident - a beautiful 16 year old girl and she's come through the same schools as the children of the poor lady who died in the Russian plane crash. I didn't know either directly but there is a community feeling battered and bruised and families bereft in the run up to Christmas. So I feel extra blessed to have my very tired boy safely at home and I will be doubly happy to welcome Nigel home tomorrow and collect Rachel on Sunday.

Tremendous shot here Judith, full of character and charm.
Yes, very sad to hear about this young lady killed whilst cycling in Cambridge, a terrible and tragic accident which unsettles us all. When I hear of things like this I cuddle my children just a little bit tighter. Fave for the shot.

The Copper Kettle looks a very inviting place to be on these wet or grey days.

Looks a lovely place to relax with a hot chocolate or coffee. So sad to lose someone so young, and even worse just before Christmas......

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the reflection.
Such a shame about your news.

A great shot, Judith. I used to frequent the old Copper Kettle a lot - it had a wonderful atmosphere, but I'm not so keen on the modern version! Such a tragic loss of a young life.

[Judith Greenwood]

@dolphin I've never really felt drawn to the new one - shame really as you can't beat the location.

I like the reflections and the flashes of red. Fav

Looks cozy there. I'm so sorry about the sad news.

[Rosie Kind]

Lovely shot with great reflection Judith. How sad for that poor family at any time of year but even worse just before Christmas.

[Marloes]

Lovely atmospheric shot!

[Anne Mary]

Doubly great - the candid and the reflection

[Maggiemae]

Seems to be a common name to coffee bars! I wonder if they all have copper kettles somewhere inside! Nice to see the young people here!

[Barbara Paquette]

Love the reflection. So sad to lose a child. I don't think I could bear it.

[Jane Pittenger]

Love all the layers of reflection and clarity. Awful about the young woman...does make a person feel blessed to have all their kids accounted for. Fav

[Judith Johnson]

Love that sense of captured calm! Yes we have much to be thankful for, so sad to hear of those bereaved families.

[Malc Bird]

Love the pop of red and reflection.

[Phil Howcroft]

i like the reds but was saddened by your narrative judith

[Peggy Sirk]

Some lovely pops of red inside that fabulous restaurant. Love the reflections indicating it's choice location.
I'm saddened to read the news concerning the death of the young cyclist. Tragedies remind us of how fragile and precious life is.

[Tamzin]

The mixture of reflections and people here give a ghostly feel. Horrible news about the cyclist - it does make you want to wrap your children in cottonwool.

Beautiful shot. Sad reflections.
