Maybe the last weekend of summer dresses

This week was nice and short, we only had to work four days. Ben enjoyed his new job at the University of London. We were told the sad news on the morning news that the last day of summer had past. The autumn jackets have started to be be advertised in the stores. We have this fabulous app on our phone that tells us what the weather will be like each day. It breaks it down every three hours. It is about 99% right. The girls at work says it is a saviour from deciding what to wear each morning. Friday it hit 26 degrees. I was so excited I put on a very summery dress. After work we met Lee and Melissa at Canary Wharf to drink sangria beside the river. It was such a beautiful sunset.

To celebrate the good weather that was predicted for Saturday we decided to venture out of London. We hopped on a train heading to Cambridge. Once we hopped off the train we were hit with the sight of hundreds and hundreds of bicycles. We even saw a sign advertising secure bike parking. Cambridge is incredibly flat and filled with students so I am not surprised they opt for this cheap form of transport. We didn't really plan our day for Cambridge, Melissa just told us to follow the crowd that left the station. It was such a beautiful city filled with amazing university buildings. Students are on holidays at the moment so some of the buildings were closed for maintenance. We were both shocked with how many people were visiting despite being uni holidays. We headed towards the river and we were bombarded with quite good looking university students promoting punting. We didn't partake in punting as it was a little bit too crowded. We had lunch at a lovely cafe beside the river, followed by a rest in the park were we watched a tiny rowing competition. We did so much walking yesterday, I sort of wish we hired bikes to explore. Along the river there was lots of lovely, cute little boats that people must live on or just take out for the weekend. We will definitely go back hopefully to explore a bit more.

Today was a not so sunny day. We went into town to have a look at the Spitalfield Markets. It is filled with mainly clothes and leather goods. I found a man that makes tailored 'Autumn' jackets that are very well made. He does alterations during the week and you can return the next weekend to pick them up. It was nice to meet someone so passionate about sewing. After he fitted a jacket on me and we spoke a little bit about sewing, he offered me a job on Sunday's sewing on buttons. I'm considering it over night. I just have to now save up for the jacket.

Plans for this week is to pray for nice weather for the coming weekend as we want to go to the final night of the Proms in Hyde Park. Fingers crossed.
