Climbing Great St. Mary’s Church

When somewhere says they have the greatest views of a city we are in, we have to take a look. I am not sure why, it’s just always something that we end up doing. So, when we saw a sign outside Great St. Mary’s Church saying it was the best view of Cambridge, we went in to climb the towers! Great St. Mary’s Church is also known as the University Church of Cambridge, built in 1209. The building was then rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style between 1478 and 1608, with the university’s bells added to it.

Turning Pet and Family Photos into Sub-Surface Glass Keepsakes

There is usually one photo people come back to. It might be the dog asleep in the same patch of sun every afternoon, a cat looking far too serious, a grandparent holding a baby, or a picture from an ordinary day that turned out to matter more later.

A printed photo can be framed. A phone picture can be shared. But a photo placed inside glass feels a little more permanent. Sub-surface glass engraving takes an image and creates it inside a clear glass or crystal piece, giving the memory depth instead of leaving it flat on paper.

It is a quiet kind of personalised gift. Not flashy, not overly complicated, but easy to understand the moment someone sees it.

How Fresh, Gently Cooked Dog Food Can Help Dogs with Allergies

For the millions of dog owners dealing with a pet who scratches constantly, suffers from chronic ear infections, or struggles with digestive problems, identifying the root cause often leads to one place: diet. Canine food allergies and sensitivities are among the most commonly reported health concerns in veterinary practices today. 

The conversation around what dogs eat — and how that food is prepared — has never been more relevant. A growing body of research suggests that fresh, gently cooked dog food may offer a meaningful advantage over conventional dry or processed diets, particularly for dogs prone to allergic reactions.

California Dog Kitchen, a San Diego-based pet food company, produces fresh, human-grade dog food that is gently cooked and frozen in pre-portioned cubes. The brand formulates its recipes to meet nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including large-breed growth. Its approach reflects a broader shift in the pet food industry toward minimally processed, ingredient-transparent options.

Fewer Ingredients, Fewer Triggers
