opened and is called <a href="http://www.callyco.com/">CallyCo</a>, they also have another one in Stamford. Although it is a lot smaller it is still as charming, and the lady that works in the Stamford one, is so helpful and friendly. If your ever in the area you should definitely pop in.<br />I asked the girls in the Cambridge one if I could take some pictures to show you, and they were more than happy for me to do so, as long as they weren't in them, bless them, they were camera shy, actually I don't blame them.!<br />Here, just take a peek.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhclL5tteHMs8gozf_evcUpiz9bYF4iEW0ELBsoc69CIMypSXgmxG-3coEVd2Ddo_W0rrrii7qq8ZE2KwbvorI9CvYNcs3gKWHtph-H02hPwPBvQl2wQyC5laYNzvc6DUGikZn4esNnFcUw/s1600/2010_0414mels0037.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px;

But unfortunately I deleted the format on my camera by mistake. </div><div>If you have ever done this you will know what I mean, if not, it is where you basically deleted everything and it goes back to factory settings. </div><div>A bit of a bummer really, I was rather cross to say the least. </div><div></div><div>Here is what I received, a lovely soup recipe, a little note book, a bar of choccie and some seeds. The recipe I have yet to try, but I will soon, the notebook as shown in a new photo above is being used to write done notes for the garden, and the choccie, well sorry but it was scrummy and is long gone, I started to use the seeds yesterday... So thank you very much it was a lovely well thought out gift.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday I spent all day in the garden as the weather was lovely and even managed to plant some potatoes. I have left it later than normal to start planting and growing seeds for my humble veggie patch this year, as it has just felt to cold and grey out. We ended the day with a chimney and made homemade pizzas. Today it seems Mr Sunshine has gone off on his hols and we are left with grey skies yet again. So I have decided to have a very lazy day by just pottering round and reading a book. </div><div><br /></div><div>The book is called <strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">"A love that makes life drunk"</span></strong> by Karen Roderick aha yes aka <a href="http://karen-roderick.blogspot.com/">The English Writer.<br /></a></div><div>It is sort of a chick-litish based book, but with a really raunchy kick, if you read it you'll know what I mean. Oh to be as talent as Karen. </div><div>Got to go now to read the rest of the book, oh look I have some company...x </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg2MLmFD6vidHJfJ_H0ZmZykDs9dZVyqZRpvKn94vbGV7w8qcnKeycIqo1XY0CCdtOsvJxDRkL4lhA6pPLw1-uKDXv60eJPYPBSt1Y1Etuml3MPzGUJ3jXYTlp5vwD-oqqVggpJ6eBeMpf/s1600/2010_0407mels0002.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457384335588187250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg2MLmFD6vidHJfJ_H0ZmZykDs9dZVyqZRpvKn94vbGV7w8qcnKeycIqo1XY0CCdtOsvJxDRkL4lhA6pPLw1-uKDXv60eJPYPBSt1Y1Etuml3MPzGUJ3jXYTlp5vwD-oqqVggpJ6eBeMpf/s200/2010_0407mels0002.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div>P.s don't forget it's not to late to join in with the "Good Enough to Eat" swap.</div>Emhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13882711291578930614noreply@blogger.com26
