Cambridge cultural contrasts.
On Jesus Green, the 5th River Rights Festival was held by the Friends of the Cam. A very twee, middle-class gathering with earnest choir songs about climate change.
On Midsummer Common, there's the Midsummer Fair. A gaudy, lairy celebration; the youth look like they're auditioning for TOWIE.
At the boathouses, a winning college rowing crew celebrates with a bottle of fizz after the May Bumps.
The press has reported on fears of clashes between rowers and fairgoers, highlighting the clash of cultures.

#MidsummerCommon
I spotted a Common Myna bird on Midsummer Common when I was out on a run this afternoon. They're native to central and south Asia.

Definitely the day to dig out the gloves…
