Mill Pond

Doodled whilst waiting for lunch. I have drawn from this self same spot before on the balcony bench at The Granta Pub in Cambridge.

The building opposite is the Old Water Mill, now Bella Itaila. I remember at one point it was a Sweeny Todd resteraunt.

Nowadays you can hire punts and canoes launching out from this pond from Granta Punt Hire Company

As a teenager we would punt under the building, look up and wave at customers eating their meal at a glass centered table. They would get quite a surprise! Last week I took my daughter on a punt on the Mill Pond, we tried this again and were rewarded by children waving excitedly down at the punt below.

NOT to be tried if you don't like being in a dark damp hole with spiders swinging around on their webs!
