I took Emma and Lara to Cambridge on Sunday to meet their friend Sam who recently started at Fitzwilliam. This meant I had a few hours on my own to wander the streets of Cambridge. It was really nice actually it’s very rare that I get the chance to just go to a city and just perambulate around exploring the areas that interest me, I headed out of the centre and walked down to towards Romsey town along Mill Road.
I really like an area with plenty of cafes and individual shops. Far more interesting than our generic high streets. Mill Road was precisely this. I stopped in a cafe for a coffee and a Pizzoto feta and then I walked the length of Mill Road to find “Relevant cafe” which had this amazing record shop below it, I was in there for ages having a good old browse. Afterwards I walked around the streets off mill road. Most of the houses are typical terraces from the late 1800’s. The streets had a real feeling of community with an occasional shop and pubs dotted around.
