We managed to have a barbeque a week or so back - the week leading up to it the weather was bad, but miraculously it cleared on Saturday, and lots of nice folks showed up, so we had a good time.
Last weekend - the Bank Holiday - didn't manage to do all that much. We did go out to Shepreth Wildlife Park though. It's really close to Cambridge - 2 stops on the Kings Cross line, and right next to the station. Little bit expensive, considering that it's pretty small - I think it was £6.50 for adults and £4.50 for children of 2 and over. Yes you read that right - once you're past your second birthday, you have to pay. Extra also for the bug world display (which we skipped).
They do have quite a good selection of animals - tigers, monkeys, wolves, a snake, an iguana, etc. It's about the right amount for a young child, probably a bit boring for an older one. There's a good playground too, though again, aimed more at little kids than big ones.
We went in the afternoon, so we had lunch out at the Live and Let Live on Mawson Road in Cambridge - good food and good beer. Highly recommend.
