Vakantieverhuur in Wimpole

We will meet outside the museum building at the South Gate. After a brief background into the history and development of the museum, we will go upstairs into the painting galleries and take in defining works from:  The Italian Renaissance and Baroque,  Flanders and Holland,  Tudor, Stuart, Georgian and Victorian Britain  The French Impressionists  British Art of the early Twentieth Century. During this journey you will encounter works by Veneziano, Botticini, Titian, Canaletto, El Greco, Rubens, Brueghel, Hogarth, Gainsborough, Millais, Monet, Renoir and more. This format can easily be customised for those who would like to look at particular areas of interest in greater depth. I will use a more ‘art-historical’ approach – however, no prior knowledge is assumed nor required. While it is true that visitors will see less of the collection as a whole they will be able to get deeper ‘under the skin’ of the chosen works. As well as paintings, the Fitzwilliam Museum has an excellent collection of artefacts from Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and beyond. I can easily put together a tour for visitors who would prefer to look at and talk about these objects and art from antiquity. I MAY WELL BE ABLE TO DO TOURS ON DATES OTHER THAN THOSE ON THE CLANDAR. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO SEE IF I AM AVAILABLE WHEN YOU ARE IN CAMBRID Other things to note It is required that face coverings are worn and social distance is maintained if participants are from different households. There are facilities for securely storing coats, bags, etc. Please note that back-packs should either be stored or carried by hand in the galleries.

You will hear quirky facts and stories of the colleges and their colourful alumni, all set within the context of English and world history, plus many fascinating tales of city life through the ages not generally mentioned in the guide books. We will take you to a church 1000 years old and reveal it’s hidden secret, down side streets to places of interest visitors don't normally see. You will go back in time to medieval Cambridge to discover how the University all started, visiting colleges over 700 years old and hearing their history.

Happy to collect you from Baldock Station; back at our cottage we can provide boots/jackets. Over a welcoming drink and a snack (arrive hungry please!) you can tell us your riding experience; we pay serious attention to your expectations as we aim to provide each rider with the ideal equine partner for your day with us. Having signed a disclaimer and had a hat fitted you’ll meet your horse and bond with him/her using synchronised breathing, grooming and carrots! We normally divide the riding (bridleways /country lanes) into two sessions of about 45/50 min divided by home made lunch or supper with wine but we might keep you up for a 1.5hrs non-stop and eat afterwards, depending on weather and level of fitness. We can go as slowly as you like, you won’t be pushed out of your comfort zone! Forgive us in advance for putting the horses’ happiness a very close second to your safety :-). If you weigh above 80kg/have children below 12 please get in touch before booking. We hope you'll enjoy this form of riding which focuses on voice commands (no kicking or pulling) thus insuring your horse enjoys it as much as you do ;-). We also offer an introduction to Mindful Riding which tends to work well for intermediates who’ve come with novice partners. Or a longer session incorporating a pub stop. Please ask if you’d like something tailor made, or a different time, we are flexible :-).

We will make together fresh pasta and gnocchi. I will provide pasta flour, eggs and potatoes. If you want, you can be free to use different kinds of flours (white, chestnut, chickpea...) and to prepare gluten-free or vegan (without eggs) pasta. To roll out the dough we will use the rolling pin and the pasta machine. For an extra price of £10 we can cook the pasta and eat together, I will provide a nice sauce (only after Friday's class). Other things to note Pasta classes for children are available
