Yesterday, a number of friends from Cambridge and beyond came together to mark my going away. It was a fantastic surprise, for which I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to everyone involved - and above all to Aurelie, the party's main instigator. I was deeply touched.
After meeting on King's Parade and a leisurely drink, we spent most of the afternoon on the Millpond by the Cam river. Punting ensued, followed by a stopover in the college bar to catch breath, and finally Fez club.
Several travelled a long way to be present. Chris D came from Norfolk, Henry and Charlotte from Bedford, Becca from Bristol, Brian, John and Luke from London, and Chris S from Edinburgh (!). To all those from Cambridge too who gave up their afternoons to celebrate with me, a HUGE thank you - it was an event I won't forget, and a reminder of how very fortunate I am to call such an extraordinary group of people friends.
