Places and Spaces

“I have experienced wine and dine at Colleges plenty of times (as part of my work). It isn’t half as fun as a pint (in jeans and trainers) in the company of close friends!”

People relax on a green riverbank under willow trees while others travel in flat-bottomed boats on the River Cam in summer.
