Having bought my annual permit to enter Cambridge via the river Cam (£26), I took Lady Saga into the city. It was my second time and I thought Kay would enjoy it. And she did - despite the dull weather.
During the previous weekend, Midsummer Common had seen the annual Fair, and many of the residential boats had vacated their moorings due to the noise and other disturbance over the weekend. It's a shame people can be so disruptive - the fair has been going for about 800 years, they should have learnt by now to keep the noise down!
We moored near the water point as the visitor moorings were all full. We walked into the city and visited the shops and a few museums - we know how to have fun! Of yes and we had lunch and a pint at the Eagle RAF bar. I was served by a nice young lad who, unfortunately, ended each question or statement with the word 'sir'. I like a bit of respect and politeness but it wore a bit thin after the first six or seven times!
Returning to Little Ouse Moorings, I filled up with red diesel. At only 75p per litre, I don't get the same shudder as when I fill up the Land Rover for £1.21p. I think LOM must still be the cheapest place to fill up in the Fens - and you get a nice friendly chat with Nattie thrown in for free!
