Huntingdon and Godmanchester
Sunday 8th November 2015
Recently I've been feeling a bit of a draw to the countryside, and have been toying with the idea of maybe buying a house in the country again. Given my office will be moving to Kings Cross next year, it seemed like a good time to start exploring places along the train line from there. So today we gave Huntingdon / Godmanchester a go.

Passed through Biggleswade on the way, which reminded me of a Monty Python sketch.

I rather like the notion of a defunct county.

Was actually a bit chilly here but I think Erika enjoyed looking at the sheep.

Rather like this picture of me and Erika in our herringbone tweeds on a bench, with the very Autumnal backdrop.

Chie tried to get a picture of the three of us.

12:15:27
Love this one of the girls and the leaves.

The famous Chinese bridge at Godmanchester. Not really the best day to take a picture of it, but you get the idea.
