Push Bike Adventures

Today we joined the rest of Cambridge and bought bikes. We decided that having bikes gave us more options and a better chance to explore. Of course we got them on sale and we intend using them every weekend. We made sure we bought lights as it is illegal not to have them and a way we went. Riding back into the centre of Cambridge the Christmas atmosphere was great the city centre was so packed that we felt it best to get off and walk the bikes. We scouted around and had trouble finding a park, yes for our bikes, but eventually we found a spot in a lane way off the main square by a church and a great little second hand book store. The place is electric with food stalls everywhere in the main square. It is liking walking from one aroma to another, spicy Jamacain, to fresh bread, to sausages, to roasting chestnuts. All the market sellers seem to be doing a roaring trade. Our favourite busker is out singing again. He is very good with a very melodic voice but not prissy. He reminds me of wes from Idol. But the buskers are out in force for christmas. There is one street which is like busker alley and they all spread out along a 150m stretch. No one competes they just take their turn a couple of songs each. The old 40 something rockers with a full band, the dude with the weird lut bagpipe, harpsicord cross. the bloke with the organ and the singing dog and the salvos brass band. Christmas lights, music, hot food and its warm enough to not have a jacket. Christmas is great here.
