Sweet celebration

I was a bit slow this morning and wondered briefly why the sweet shop had stars and stripes outside - and then it dawned! Cambridge University Student Union is reflected in the window with a bit of St John's College Chapel to the side. I'd have loved to have made this shop into a gallery but it was a tobacconists forever before so I suppose a sweet shop is closer to that.
Huge thanks for the lovely response to my daisy/poppy combo - very excited to see it on PP. More commenting after the tennis finishes - come on Andy!

The stars & stripes accentuate the existing colours in the window - fudge, sherbet, sweets, independence - what's not to like! Fun shot!

[Jane Pittenger]

Great reflection...and your pp well deserved!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Lovely mixture of images! Well done for your PP!

[Graham Harcombe]

Very good - another little aspect of Cambridge :)

[Geertje K.]

Great find!

[Jill Peck Vona]

fun shot

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very appropriate. :)

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely!

[Cathy]

Very festive shot! Love the beautiful shop and the glimpse of a cathedral in the background! And we are rooting for Andy Murray at our house!!!

[Alison Tomlin]

Funny. The shop has a hint of empire about it. Murray won but cava crashed. Boo

[Diana Moss]

This looks like one of Wills favourite shops sweets sweets sweets.

@fueast You can't expect to drink fizzy alcohol and hit balls in a straight line.

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg eh?

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast Just wondered why you were talking about cava?

[Judith Greenwood]

@snowy It's usually packed but the market stall is probably cheaper - I try to stay away from temptation!

[Paula]

Great shot!

[Pat Knowles]

Come on Andy....and you did it hooray on to the next round & Tsonga or whoever!! I love the fact that the stars & stripes flag is the same colour as ours & I don't know what I am talking about tonight too much wine!!!!!

[Juliette Packham]

great shot - and how sweet to the audience Murray thorugh to next round!

[Barbara Paquette]

Hmm, our flag is backwards and shown in the country from which we sought independence. Oh well, fudge makes it all good!

[Joyce Wells]

Love this shot, Judith - even though the flag is backward! At least it's on display! Glad to see that Murray won. I think England would go nuts if he ever pulled it off!

[Sheri]

Love the shot!

[Judith Greenwood]

@sparkleplenty1 Yes sorry about that!!! They had another one on the left hand side - I think they were going for artistic balance!

[Judith Greenwood]

@bpaquette Ann's there's a tax on that fudge ! ;0)

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast Ahh - 'Cavendish' crashed ... bum!

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg Good job he's faster than you!

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast Well I can't feign an interest in more than one sport at a time - but at least I can spell!!!

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg What have I spelt wrong now?

[Janna E.]

Great one for the special day. I completely missed it, too, and was wondering why there were so many fireworks pictures up today. Duh!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@sparkleplenty1 @bpaquette Yeah, it is funny to see the flag used as a decorative item like that. But I am sure we do that with the Union Jack probably. Funny how much a flag and the care of that flag is ingrained in us as we grow up. I still don't get why they were using it. I am a little slow I guess. A LOT slow!

[Judith Greenwood]

@espyetta @bpaquette Is this offensive? I think they were trying to be friendly!! (And sell more sweets!)

[Judith Greenwood]

@fueast "Cavendish' - spectacularly wrong!

[Peggy Sirk]

That looks familiar. :)
