Addenbrookes Family

Today we went into Cambridge specifically to have lunch in Harriet’s Tea Rooms before the hospital visit this afternoon.

When we came home it was obvious that more than half the village had lost their power. We are on a different feed to the vlllage, the end of a line which comes across the fields so we usually have power when others do not; however, our power was off too. After a while there was a vehicle parked just beyond our boundary and being used to people stealing our chain fence, Mr A went to investigate. The electricity people were trying to get into the field to the pole where our transformer is situated, so Mr A took them back up the lane to the footpath. He had been back in the house no more than a minute or so when our power came back on. The railway station and much of the village did not get their power back until much later.

Anyone who visits Addenbrookes will recognise this sculpture, which is on the wall just before the man entrance. It appears to depict a family, presumably that Addenbrookes looks after families; the sculpture does not include older people; the cynic in me wonders why.
