The city center of Cambridge is usually busy with tourists and shoppers during weekends, so if I have to shop, I usually scramble to get out of the center as soon as possible. But this time I decided to take my time and check out a cafe my friend recommended. The inside was full and steamy, so I had to take a seat outside, and funny enough, only then I noticed the view of The Round Church, the 800-year-old church that I have long wanted to visit.
The air was hazy and cool, and as I drew, someone knocked on the cafe window behind me. An elderly couple smiled and raised their thumbs. It was a sweet unexpected excursion in the middle of the busy city.
What a lucky girl you are today!

Yes! I call myself a boy (like Brynner: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Brynner) but lucky am I nonetheless. 🙂

I recall walking past the church many times when I lived in Cambridge – brings back memories. Glad you captured a bike as well.

Nice to know you lived here as well – the bikes are the quintessential props of the city, isn’t it! 🙂
