Let's go on a Pic-a-nic!!!

The weather here has been uncharacteristically warm for Britain.  It has been an average of 80-85 degrees and beautifully sunny with bright, clear, blue skies every day.  Today a group of us went on a picnic by the river Cam and the weather was just as gorgeous.  A light breeze tousled long hair and the branches of the sweeping, weeping willows.  The only thing we had to worry about was the cow poop... yup, cow poop everywhere!  Cows in Britain are kind of like squirrels, they just sort of roam around where they may and are not afraid to get near to people.  You can walk up to a cow, press your nose against its and it will just stare at you like, "hiya, what's going on?!" So when we went on a picnic today we had to carefully select a spot poop free.  We found a really perfect spot by the river in the shade of a big tree.  It was so lovely sitting with good friends and lots of yummy bread, cheese, fruit and wine.  We have a really small group this year (there's only 14 of us) so we are able to do lots of fun group get togethers like wine nights, picnics and movie nights (tonight we're watching A Very Potter Musical).  I always find myself laughing hysterically when we are all together and everyone seems to get along so well.  After a beautiful afternoon of wine, cheese, bread, dates and good company all I wanted to do was take a nap.  Unfortunately I had to go to my Shakespeare class which is in a small, steamy, sauna-hot room.  It was not easy trying to focus on the specifics and nuances of Titus Andronicus with a belly full of good food.  Ah, the life of a Cambridge student is rough!

 Pretty ladies :)

 Cheers Michael!!!
