WELCOME
Soak up the city hese weeks – summer ’ s dog days – are the time to savour those Cambridge experiences we yearn for once the cooler months kick in. For me, that means cycling along the Backs with the sun on my face, paper cups of wine on Grantchester Meadows and people-watching with an ice cream on the King’s wall. Make hay while the sun shines and lap up these weeks of Cambridge being at its absolute peak, is my advice. For our gardening columnist Anna (page 82), August is a time to enjoy the fruits of your labour earlier in the year and ‘turn on, tune in and drop out for the hazy holiday season’. What could be nicer? On the culture scene, we hear from Dallahan, who chat about their melting pot of influences ahead of a Cambridge Junction gig this month (page 19) – as well as Gemma Brodrick, star of Blood Brothers , which hits the Arts in early September (page 16). We’ve got a cracking line-up of essential holiday reads in Book Club on page 20, and I also caught up with local author Cecilia Vinesse for this month’s Writer’s Diary. Hear what she’s got to say about the joy of rom coms and the urgency of writing for young people on page 23. Elsewhere, there’s the latest on two hot new restaurant openings, a minibreak at Poets House up for grabs, some fitness ideas to inspire you for an active autumn, plus lots more. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
