This is a little taster in case you cannot get to see it. The whale bones are from a minkie whale washed up some years ago on the norfolk coast.


 

Then we ambled around for a bit, passing the Sedgewick museum which was a little bit of a memory lane for me, and taking in the pretty streets and this and that until we came across a poster for an exhibition that looked intriguing. That one poster took us to another and another through a building site, and, still following posters, to the school of zoology and a most beautiful, thought provoking exhibition. I can't describe it, all I can say is if you are in, or near, Cambridge get along to see it because it is out of the ordinary and really very moving. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. http://www.conflictedseeds.com/conflicted-seeds-spirit/




    
After the Heong Gallery and a brief look at Downing College we had time to hang out and catch up with each other and Susan very agreeably allowed me to get us lost-ish as we half-aimed for the Fitzwilliam Museum. First we went up a dead end street and discovered Hobson House which used to be a fire station and a mortuary we were told by a random man that we got chatting to. We'd been drawn in by the glass roof and as we went in we also noticed a tower of stained glass surrounded by scaffolding which the same man said housed a staircase.






And seven doors on arriving in Cambridge. 


An outsider's view.
