Nice collection, hope it was a nice day at the Gardens.

Rajini Rao it was a lovely day with Kimberly Chapman and her daughters along with my wife.

I still haven’t been to the gardens, I should try next month when we’re down there when my mom visits! 🙂

Buddhini Samarasinghe it’s a very pleasant walk and there’s a cafe where we had lunch.
Thanks Letha McGarity

Hopefully the tourists numbers will be less next month, given that summer is over. Cambridge city centre is a nightmare, we usually avoid it. The gardens are definitely more secluded.

We need scratch’n’sniff technology online so we can share photos of the scented garden. OMG it smelled like the greatest kitchen in the world. /me cracks whip at Yonatan Zunger. ;D

Kimberly Chapman yes, there was no mistaking where it was located. It did smell nice.

Buddhini Samarasinghe We noticed a sudden dropoff in crowds downtown last week when school was in session. Even in London yesterday, it was a huge difference on the train, the tube, and at the natural history museum.

Kimberly Chapman that’s good to hear, we might do a day trip to London with my mom, but I was concerned as the crowds can be a little daunting. Thanks!

Buddhini Samarasinghe To give you an idea of the difference, we queued for 20 minutes outside the museum on the last Friday of summer holiday for most schools, and that was early in the day…the line got worse later. But yesterday? No line at all.
Or at King’s Cross…every time we went before, the queue for the 9 3/4 Harry Potter thing was full through the winding stanchions and beyond. Yesterday? Maybe 20 people waiting.
Our bigger problem now with folks in downtown Cambridge is the uni friends are all walking in packs and smoking. Ugh.

Kimberly Chapman ugh yes. Cambridge is tiny so when the students are back…they kinda take over the whole place. My mom wants to see the campus, and some of her students are there, so it should be interesting to navigate it!

Buddhini Samarasinghe At least the families bringing students in and taking a photo every five feet seems to have died down. XD
And I can’t really blame them…if I was bringing Peo to a big prestigious university with such glorious buildings, I’d be snapping a zillion photos too.
It’s just that…omfg…trying to get a stroller through here people…please just move to the side…

Perhaps you should take a leaf from Boudica’s book Kimberly Chapman : http://goo.gl/WhHVd9
You’ve probably done Kew and the Physic Garden Buddhini Samarasinghe but have you tried Wisley on the edge of the M25?: http://goo.gl/DXEO7J

Thanks for the links Kevin Clift

Kevin Clift Don’t think I haven’t contemplated putting rotating knives on the stroller wheels…

So are you still in the UK Chad Haney? I somehow got the impression that you were back. Had I thought that you were in the UK I would have included you in the suggestion.
September 13, 2014
You are right, Kevin Clift. I am home.

Lady, wtf are you doing here with a stroller? We’re supposed to be shoulder to shoulder, not stroller to stroller….
September 13, 2014
Lovely set of pictures. It seems incongruous to realise that at least four of those five gorgeous flowers are toxic….

Thomas Kang Um, trying to get my children places in the city where I live? And effectively using it as a walker because of a disability?
September 13, 2014
Whoa!

Kimberly Chapman _WTF does getting children to places where you live have anything to do with it?_
Seriously, though, I have two kids, one who has been out of a stroller for a few years. I know the feeling, and was play acting people who don’t have kids and so simply cannot comprehend.
I’ve often had thoughts how one of the minor frustrations of people who live in crowded cities is that they occupy space–most noticeable when we’re sitting in traffic jams. Not that this requires any kind of brilliant insight or anything….
