Dinner at Trinity

Very much a treat day today as Emma has finally invited us across to Cambridge for a dinner in the main hall. We arrive late afternoon, in time for some shopping for Emma-essentials at Boots and Sainsbury's. I bought a book called Handbook for Academic Authors at the C.U.P shop. Then back to Emma's room to get ready


Wife and Daughter looking very smart - Linda in her £14 Primark bargain dress!





What a proud dad I am with my glamorous daughter



Emma in her gown - the first time we have seen her wearing it












Me and Linda on our bench against the wall in the Great Hall


Looking down the Hall

We sat at the very end of one of the side benches with two of Emma's friends - Ellie and Abbie. The food was pretty good as you'd expect. A small selection of fellows and their spouses on view. I was disappointed to see they weren't eating swan (as in Porterhouse Blue). There was some sort of Oxford-Cambridge event on tonight so the Hall was packed.


We decided to not stay overnight but slogged it home afterwards. Quite an experience
