Twelfth night

This is the gate of St John’s College which is a faded version of Christ’s gate yesterday (which was well researched to be painted as it would have been in the early 16th Century) but features St John the Evangelist- often confused for Lady Margaret as he is feminised as was the fashion in the late Middle Ages. I’ve a vague recollection that it was painted early in my time at Cambridge but it was never as bright as Christ’s. I’m wondering if the Santa hat will find itself removed this evening.
Weather: bright and cold
Covid: terrible nationally, slightly better locally fingers crossed, saw ambulance men in biohazard suits.
Highlight: very understated 31st wedding anniversary (might warrant a takeaway).

Like the Santa hat and hope it stays for some time!

[Judith Greenwood]

@newbank that’s what we should be having and then we remembered the anniversary!

[Judith Greenwood]

@busylady well it will if they can’t reach it!

[Newbank Lass]

@judithg Did you only remember the anniversary when you looked in poor mother hubbards cupboards? Eldest declared tea delicious so it wasnt all bad.

[Barbara Paquette]

Well, it is a nice spot of color. Happy Anniversary!

Love that Santa hat but glad you pointed it out as I might have just missed it...it’s the little things like that which make a photo memorable! I always love the brick work in your colleges...you must love this one lots! Happy anniversary!

Great capture

[LucyDolittle]

Happy anniversary!
Love the Santa hat touch. Think now decorations can stay up until Candlemas so he may get to legitimately sport it until 2nd February.
As always, great Cambridge capture. Fav

Happy Anniversary! I love the way you have composed this.

Lovely shot.

I bet it was understated. Happy Anniversary though and the two trees are a good reminder to hang close to those you love. I am shattered by what is happening in our country

I like how you framed St. John the Evangilist, Beautiful building too.

Excellent santa hat! Yes can't believe how bad it's got here in London. And we did so well compared to other parts of the country for months. This new variant is rather worrying and I've still not seen anything that clarifies exactly HOW it's more transmissible.

[Issi Bannerman]

I like how you've used the tree.

Wonderfully framed Christmas version of St John. Happy wedding anniversary

Love the Santa hat on St. John!
Happy belated anniversary! I had forgotten that you were an Epiphany bride else I would have dropped by yesterday to extend wishes for another year of happiness.
