2009 Review. The University's 800th Anniversary year included another big event: the 200th anniverary of Charles Darwin's birth. A new sculpture of the young Darwin was unveiled at Christ's College, Darwin's college, on February 12 (the day of his birth). Various Darwin events were held throughout the year (the 150th anniversary of his Origin of Species was also in 2009).

It's interesting how this photo has come out. It looks like a tilt and shift effect but it isn't. It's all life size here! One can go and sit on the bench right next to Darwin:-) One can also visit Darwin's student room in the college, which was opened to the public as a part of the bicentenary celebrations.

Allan Brigham works for Cambridge City Council as a road sweeper. He was doing his job when I caught up with him on Sunday. He's one of the city's best guides and a great local historian. The University of Cambridge has recently announced Allan as one of ten distinguished people whose names have been submitted for the conferment of honorary degrees. You can see he's delighted by the honour:-) What a lovely chap. I'm so happy for him:-)
