Anglesey Abbey and a #StandWithUkraine Demo, Cambridge - 24th August 2022

We head up to Cambridge for a visit, stopping off at Anglesey Abbey near Stow cum Quy, where it's generally very hot. After that, we continue into town, where it's even hotter at 29°, and have a very sweaty half an hour punting up the Cam to the Mathematical Bridge and back. As we're having a well-earned cold drink at the Chop House on King's Parade, a protest march in support of Ukraine is occuring.
