To make the most of the sunshine and a national holiday, today we visited
Wimpole Estate and Farm. it is a National Trust property just outside Cambridge.

It seemed lots of other families had the same bright idea, as the grounds were full of people happily munching picnics and laying on the grass soaking up the sun.
We took our own picnic with us, Though there is a team rooms, a restaurant and an ice ream van at the property. I had a sandwich of feta, green pesto and sun-dried tomatoes on spelt bread. Spelt bread is a good alternative if you are wheat/gluten intolerant by the way. I took along my current book, Tupac Shakur- The Rose that Grew from Concrete. I should be putting up a review in the next couple of days.

| A very British Picnic- sandwiches, crisps and gangster rap |
If you forget to bring a book with you to Wimpole and fancy having a read whilst lounging on the grass, There is a well stocked second hand bookshop. It has a bit of everything, books on local history and contemporary classics such as
Being Jordan by Katie Price.

Outside I saw some very Game of Thrones-esque statues. My sister rolled her eyes when I mentioned this, I seem to be relating everything to the series at the moment.

Everyone at work now thinks I'm a massive geek, as I happened to mention that I like to loiter on Game of Thrones/ A Song of Ice and Fire forums and discuss conspiracy theories about Jon Snow's parentage (my bet's on Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen).
