Gonville Hotel
A few words in haste to prove that we can afford hotels with Internet access thrown in - that is to say without having to bring one's own laptop. Not that my laptops are, in any case, Internet enabled.
Very wet here in Cambridge but they do have those civic must-haves, a festive ice rink and a clutch of wooden sheds selling German flavoured organic crafts. Which last presumably means that the factory in China whacking out such crafts is doing very well. Making up for some extent at least to the loss of orders for zip fasteners in the economic downturn.
We wonder how the ice rink cooler manages in the rain - which is well above freezing and which is getting on for a centimetre deep. We wonder also how long it will take the grass of Parker's Piece to turn green again after the festive season has passed away. Will we ever be able to roll back the infestation of semi-temporary recreational sheds in our bigger parks?
