| Too windy to go out, too muddy for gardening so a baking session in a nice warm kitchen. Always intended to try making a Pannetone so this is the result! |
 |
| It was good and the leftovers made a fantastic bread-and-butter pudding! |

| The East Pit, Cherry Hinton Lime Pits, last worked in the 1980s and now a nature reserve. Not much nature yet, but it's early days in geological time. |
 |
| There is still some countryside around us but Great Kneighton is looming on the horizon and another estate is being built on the other side of the hedge On 30 December we had a visit from my cousin Rosemary and her son Chris. |

Day in London, 19 November
 |
| The redevelopment of the area around Cambridge station continues, no doubt making way for yet another block of flats. The purpose of our trip was to see the Rembrandt exhibition at the National Gallery. No photography allowed of course but no restrictions next door in the National Portrait Gallery where there is a free exhibition of works by Grayson Perry, "Who are You?" The 14 portraits are "images about the nature of identity, snapshots taken from the narratives of people's lives". The people portrayed have "changed religion or gender, they have lost some of the physical or mental faculties, they have lost status, they belong to a group that is hoping it will be seen differently by society." |
