Cambridge is an historic university city in the east of London. It has good transport links to the rest of the UK and beyond and benefits from being only 50 miles from London. It is of course most notable for being the home of the University of Cambridge and many great scholars and notable figures of both our time, and many years before, have been educated in the city. The university remains at the top of the league tables in the UK and among the most prestigious in the world. Cambridge has a varied ethnic population for a relatively small city and this is due, in part, to the large number of international students that travel to the city to study at the university.

Elm trees are a beautiful and majestic tree that is native to the UK. They are steeped in mystique and have there own part to play in mythology and folklore over the years. Unfortunately, the latter part of the 20th century was not kind to the elm tree and may have succumbed to the serious dutch elm disease. It is a disease that is spread by fungal spores carried by the elm beetle and which will take over the tree and destroys it. Unfortunately, a lot of Britain's elm trees have met their demise this way.

Jazz music is a movement of music that was founded in the southern states of the USA and spread by the African American population after the abolition of the slave trade. It later made its way over to Europe, beginning in France, and continues to be popular to the present day. Its influences are seen in many 'modern' pieces of music and there are a lot of artists who have enjoyed successful jazz careers.
