HEAT WAVE,SOUTHWOLD

The weather is very hot, a lovely place to visit when the weather becomes unbearable is Southwold in Suffolk.There is a long clean beach and a classy pier  to walk for the cooling breezes and maybe a plate of sea food or fish and chips.

GRADUATION DAY, CAMBRIDGE, UK update 2020

Cambridge  University students follow an ancient tradition of  marching  through the streets of Cambridge accompanied by their college tutors on Graduation Day .The traffic stops and the students go to  the Senate building where the graduation ceremony is conducted in Latin with their supporters,many of them proud parents, watching.

The students wear black gowns with white fur hoods and mortar boards ( known as a square).This painting shows a procession in Bridge Street near Magdalene College.

The ceremony is followed by a party in the students'college.

Graduation 2020

In this terrible year of Covid 19 I am sorry that students will miss the traditional graduation day.
In five years time you will qualify for an M.A.,no exams involved, and will be able to have a traditional ceremony then.Hopefully you will all be earning loads of money and can travel business class, stay in a nice hotel and arrange to receive this award with some of your old college friends.

Hot Dogs



I live near a river which flows through a park in Cambridge favoured by dog walkers .Throwing a stick into the water to bring back is fun for some dogs who like to cool off this way.
