Saturday 13 December

We woke up Saturday morning to cold temps, high winds and the threat of heavy rain; just another normal day in Cambridgeshire. We decided to follow through with our plans to see a football match in Peterborough.
We took advantage of the fantastic rail service here and took the train from Huntingdon. For the three of us, Jeff, Alexander and myself, it was £11!! I am not sure of the distance from Huntingdon to Peterborough, but at 160 km/hr it just seemed like we got ourselves comfortable and we were there.
Technology never ceases to amaze me. The day before I had purchased a 2 gig card for my GPS that allowed me to down load onto my GPS all of the roads in the UK and Europe, along with all of the hotels, pubs, restaurants, recreational facilities, tourist attractions and much more that I am still learning about. I was able to locate the football stadium and the GPS gave me the rout and distance. As they say here, brilliant.
We had some time to spare before the match so we did a little walkabout. I saw the exterior of Peterborough Cathedral and it was truly breathtaking. I will definitely be making another trip so that I can spend more time in the Cathedral.
I am now officially a senior!! Jeff's ticket for the match was £20.00, Alexander's was £5.00 and mine, as a SENIOR was £12.00!!! I like this country.
Peterborogh FC ( also known as the POSH) played Odlham Athletic to a draw, 2 all. It was my first professional football match and I thoroughly enjoyed, even with the high winds, cold and rain.
Another rapid trip home and an early night.
