picnics.rivers.swimming.

i think we can officially say, summer is here! 

i've been having absolutely loooooooooovely weather here & lovely days to match. it's amazing how much more fun you can have when the sun is shining in cambridge, so my chums & i took advantage of this by heading to jesus green for a picnic.

food was eaten.
frisbee was played

piggybacks were given

and generally fun was had.
we spent hours just lying in the sunshine, accompanied by a tub of ice cream or handful of crisps or playing rounders with fairly improvised rules, and it was lovely.
so then after a hot day spent lounging around on the grass and eating cookies, we decided the time was right to head to the river bank nearby to dip our toes in the water and cool off
but then, after being sensible for about five minutes, this happened
such amazing fun,as long as you avoid any passing punts/canoes/swans whilst you swim & especially if you jump! wonderfully refreshing and guranteed to be more fun that spending a day in stuffy shops or watching tv, this is how summer should be!

i strongly advise all of you to find a river to swim in, because it would be hard to find a better day than this

lots and lots and lots of love from
