Raptures or lamentations? To rejoice or to mourn? Maybe I can push that decision further with one more day. Or two. Or perhaps a week. Nevertheless, leave I must. Suffice to say that my year in Cambridge has been my most important learning experience so far, in many ways. The motto of our MBA class seemed to be "get out of your comfort zone", and I most certainly did, both in school/business and personal life. Sometimes I pushed myself, and other times I was pushed out of my limits - and almost out of my mind. However, I am still standing, although some times it feels like trying to balance on my little toe.
I will bring one little thing home with me: a map printed in 1720, showing the road from Cambridge to Kings Lynn. This is a true roadmap: all you need to do is follow the clearly marked road, and pay attention to the villages and milestones marked on both sides. Simple, and somehow symbolic for the end of this challenging year. Why don't they make maps like these anymore?

It´s been a pleasure to read your blog. Especially now you´ve been in the UK and in a city so important to me.
Altough my path leads to another place in the same country,this blog stays in the bookmarks.
Hopefully you´ll continue to write this.
Many thanks for inspiring moments :D
I'm delighted to know you've enjoyed the UK posts. I hope you'll continue to stay tuned and best of luck with your own endeavors!
This is a very pleasant blog and the photographs are lovely, madam. I'm also an ailurophile.
Many thanks for your compliments, Hilton. Cats are indeed lovely!
I found your blog from your comment on The Trad blog. I think it's great! Cheers! Oyster Guy.
You are most welcome, Anna.
Would one also describe Capri blue as cerulean? (I am fond of the colour blue). May I suggest the Alexander Theroux books The Primary Colors and The Secondary Colors.
Oyster Guy, thank you! Do come back.
Hilton, thank you for the interesting book suggestions. Capri blue is indeed like cerulean, perhaps even a little more vivid, like a bright blue sapphire at its best.
