Countdown! (As seen in the sidebar!)

Hey people,

Today, after 4 weeks, I'll be in the train back to London to go back to Holland!
Happy days!... Yet it is a shame that I have to leave this beautiful place.
My plan is to take the camera with me in the last week, to record people in the gardens.

Anyway, the last week was nice, we went on a sightseeing tour in Cambridge, which was nice because we heard a lot about Cambridge. For instance:
-There was something like a Pub Race, which made students go past every pub (14) in a street, take an ale in everyone of them and pass (of pass out) the finish line!
Now, there are only 4 pubs left (unfortunately).
Another thing was that the university systems. Apparantly, there was a phylosophy test which had one question on it; 'Why?' And when females were allowed on the university, the guys wore black and hung the flag halfpole, because they thought it would be the death of the university.
The punting tour (small gondel-like boat) was enjoyable as well.

I've had a lot of fun in the car park on Sunday and Monday. Monday was quite busy because of the Bank Holiday Monday (Damn! It looks like they just fling them around in the year!)
But the weather was enjoyable...

The Medieval Merriment wasn't that impressive, it was just a bunch of tents, one show, and 5 shots of the longbow for £3. EXPENSIVE.

This week, I've been planting Dahlias again, yet we did something else from Tuesday afternoon onwards. We started planting Salvias and Geraniums in the Parterre, but because I worked quite hard on them, I created a blister on my right hand.
Thursdays, I burnt my left hand with hot water (just off the boil) when I wanted to pour in some for tea.
Then, after a few hours, when helping putting up a metal frame, I stabbed myself in the place of my blister, so yesterday was not my day... Today, the weather is really nice and we'll go out tonight! Tomorrow, we'll visit the Gothic Tower/Folly and go on a twilight Bat Walk with the Forester.

It feels a bit depressing to go back to Holland because I had such a great time here, but it fills me with joy that I'll be here for another 4 weeks (exactly). And I can always come back to Wimpole... It's a shame I have to miss out the Tomato Festival! Apparantly, they grow 60-something varieties of tomatoes! Black ones, white ones, red ones with yellow stripes! And you can taste them all! Such a shame. But it is nice that the people here want to send photos of all the things I've done and I will miss.

Well, this was an interesting week and I'll see you next week! With three more weeks to go!
(Some photos of this week will be uploaded! Probably some pics of Rianne with her 'babies' -_- Ah well. In the pictures, you can also see Ginger, the garden cat ^^ She just wanders around... I think I told you before about her...)

Cheers!
