punting!...

On Friday, Kate, Mike, Matt, Vern and I went punting on the Cherwell river. Punting is a lovely Oxford and Cambridge tradition, though it is important to stand on the correct end of the boat for which city you are punting in, else commit a major faux pas! We punted along the river for a few hours enjoying the company, the scenery, a lovely picnic, and of course a healthy portion of Pimm’s and Lemonade, the very traditional English summer beverage… YUM! It was good fun and I’m happy to report that none of us fell in the river over the course of the evening!
