The Cambridge Show - 14th June 2008
It's a Saturday in Cambridge, and as we wander in to town we spot that there seems to be some sort of agricultural show occuring on Parker's Piece. It turns out to be the Cambridge County Show, and it whiles away a few hours as we look at mediaeval sword fights, piggies and some steam engines.
