Anglesey Abbey on a cold windy January day.. but beautiful.

We set off for an afternoon visit to Anglesey Abbey - just love visiting here.

Cold day and bitter wind, so really good to have a wander on Sunday - blew away the cobwebs!

It's a great place to be at any time of the year, but lots of winter colour





































A fruity scone to end the walk with before heading back ....

I love coming up here...

Cambridge Botanical Gardens on 26 January 2019

Cambridge University boasts a fascinating 40-acre Botanical Gardens, hosting over 8,000 species of plants including the region's finest collection of trees.

And on Saturday 26 Jan, Pete and I met our friends Rebecca and Stuart there; Stuart being a regular visitor.  It was my first visit.  And I was very impressed!

It was cold but we had occasional sun which really brightened the day.

Wonderful displays of snowdrops and lots of winter colour throughout.





Garden for children










Friends.. :)
















Lunchtime and some really tasty lemon cake.  The food in the cafe looked very tempting but my appetite wasn't at its best..



Daphne.. the scent is amazing.




January - and all this colour





A wooden 'walkway' the lines of which really flowed and worked well.

Then in the afternoon, Pete & I headed off for a wander around Saffron Walden



before having a meal then off to a concert at Saffron Walden Hall.
