Plants and Punts in Cambridge

I recently took a day trip to Cambridge. He's going to hate me for mentioning him, but this trip was a present from my boyfriend to celebrate my birthday, and I am so grateful to him for everything, especially for getting me out of London! Food, sun, punting and poking around the beautiful old buildings were top of my priorities list. Little did I know that there were some plants waiting for me too...

The Barbican Centre | EC2Y 8DS
