I arrived back in Cambridge in April, hoping to do a CELTA course. I had a couple of ideas for a job, such as driving a bus or long distance coach. Finally I fell back on my old silver service skills, and had an opportunity to work once again in the beautiful backdrop of some of the colleges. As an introduction to my return back to Cambridge please enjoy some of the pictures of the colleges I have a been working at.
Kings College - From the Inside
There was a beautiful students dinner in the above college and the below college. The dinners were sumptuous affairs, swarve suits and exuberant dresses....
Magdalene College - Cambridge
Queens college - Mathematical Bridge
This is a replica, built in 1905, relocated from the site of Newnham where a similar bridge was constructed in 1749 with the same basic design.
The bridge is known as mathamatical bridge, owing to the legend of its construction.
The bridge was supposed to be of such sophisticated design. That when schoolars tried to replicate it without the use of bolts they found that with all their calculations,....
They were still unable to replicate the "wizzardry" of the original constructors.
Whatever the truth about the "Mathamatical bridge," the passer by certainly gets the impression of something mystical about it.
For this very reason, and the fact that it can be observed clearly from the public road (silver street). It remains to this day one of the must see living exhibits in Cambridge.......
