Thanks to Joelle and Luigi, they practically emptied their old flat and brought everything to fill up our cabinets. Much of it was kitchen stuff, but they even brought along their quilt and cover, comfy pillows, inflatable bed and my favourite, bath robes!! Really helpful during cold days when you want to wrap yourself up immediately after a hot bath. Boy, they must have worked doubly hard past week having to move out of their flat and pack for us… thank you so very much, friends!
Our first stop with the car was Tesco Extra at Bar Hill, outside Cambridge, some 20 mins drive away. It was a gigantic double storey supermarket, about 4 times the size of Carefour at Suntec city. Yes, I am not exaggerating at all. Amazing the amount of things you can find there. We filled our trolley to the brim, thanks to Joelle’s advice, buying our next month’s supplies – can food, sauces, frozen packs, diapers and wipes, and a big tub of jasmine rice grains, she nearly persuaded me to get two of those. I enjoyed myself so much shopping for groceries.
Next day, we visited it again, got our universal rain cover.
We didn’t go many other places around Cambridge, there wasn’t much to see beyond anyway. We went to Wicked Fence (reservoir and nature reserve) and Grandcester. Both were roughly similar, large greeneries with cows grazing on the fields, nice stream of water running through the grasslands. I thought Nathan had most fun roaming the big open fields, we were his good company, watching out for him to make sure he did not fall into one of those large cow dung.
