Boyd Harris, originally uploaded by jjn1.

Boyd is not only a thoughtful reader of this blog, but also a blogger, a long-distance cyclist, a mountaineer, a local historian and very knowledgeable (and good) photographer, so it was nice to meet up with him and put a face to the blog for the first time. He’s currently on an astonishing cycling odyssey from Yorkshire to Sutton Hoo, and Cambridge was on his route, so we met for breakfast at the Orchard Tea Garden in Grantchester, where I discovered that he is also very sound on the subject of scones.
