great garden.

He was in Cherry Hinton - that's on the far side of town. Nice suburb, but not that much else there. I like Newnham and Grantchester better, but I'll never be able to afford to buy here, unless that career as a blackmailer takes off. We don't have such a great garden, but we do have meadows and the river right across the road. Yeah, I'm totally place name dropping. It isn't that often you're reading a newspaper article, and realise that it's about a 1/2 hour bike ride away.

This is Cambridgeshire. There are no hills. Sorry, there are a few - but around here, they think that 70m above sea level is a significant peak.

JB: I was speaking metaphori.... Ah, never mind. Here's a twofer-- Simplot's auctioning off the contents of his house and ranch--(anyone for a custom gold Cadillac golfcart?) Sorry, no handmade bookshelves.
