Tuesday 16th MayArrived, on the Eurostar, in St Pancras but couldn't work out how to get to Bethnal Green until a friendly information man told us to take the tube to Liverpool St & catch a bus which dropped us very near St Peter's vicarage.

It was great to see them a...

From there to Cambridge was an easy run & we were welcomed by Helga & Stephen who had stayed with us in Perth. In the afternoon they took us to Madingley Hall, where Cambridge University presents short courses. Sunday 30th April Our ...
