ケンブリッジのホテルには４時ごろに到着し、お部屋に荷物を置いてすぐに街歩きをしましたお友達のお家に伺う手土産の１つにケーキをお持ちしようかと思いましたが、美味しいかどうかチェックしてからと思い、ちょうどお茶の時間だったこともあり、最初に、ホテルのすぐ近くにあったケーキ屋さん「Maison Clement Bakery and Patisserie」（ネット検索したところ、とても評判が良く、たまたまホテルの近くでした）に立ち寄って、ケーキをいただきました。タルトの生地は卵が多い生地で、レッスンで習う生地や時々行っているショーラムの生地の方が個人的には好みですが、さくさくとしていたので美味しくいただきました。パンも気になったのですが、このあとお友達のお家に１泊するので家に着くまでに硬くなってしまいそうだったので、諦めました。朝早くから焼いて、お店は７時オープンだそうです。
We arrived in the hotel in Cambridge around 4:00pm. We dropped our luggage in the room and went out. Our first stop was a patisserie (Maison Clement Bakery and Patisserie, which had lots of good reviews), which was very near the hotel. We were thinking of taking some cakes to our friends on the following day so we wanted to see if their cakes are good and also it was just a tea time. The tart base had more egg than what I bake at the lessons and also those we get at the patisserie in Shorham, but it was still good and crispy. I wanted to try their bread as well but decided not to buy any because I thought it will have gone hard by the time we get back home. They start baking very early in the morning and ope at 7:00am.
この後、お店を何軒か覗いて、６時ごろにホテルに戻りました。６時はちょうどお店が閉まる時間でデパートでもうすぐクローズしますよとアナウンスがされていました。６時って早すぎるように思いますが、これでも遅くなった方。昔イギリスで暮らしたときは、５時クローズでした。みなさん、いつお買い物をされていたのか。
After this, we walked in town, looked in a few shops and get back to the hotel around 6:00pm. I remember there was an announcement in a department we were in saying they would be closing soon. 6:00pm seems incredibly early but it's later than it used to be, when I was living in Exeter all those years ago shops closed at 5:00pm and I always wondered when people did shopping.
