Sequel to "Amy over the pond" when visiting scientist Sheldon meets up with Professor Amy Farrah Fowler at Cambridge University.

########################

After their encounter with Amy's ex-husband Dave in London Sheldon and Amy's friendship got stronger. Amy was still Sheldon's 'friend who was a girl' but they would hug or kiss on meeting and they would occasionally hold hands when walking through Cambridge.

Early in December they met for a cup of tea at Wolfson.

"Good evening Sheldon, horrible weather out there."

"Hello Amy, you are turning into quite the Englishwoman talking about the weather."

"That's what people do in this country, we don't have the finest climate in the world unlike Southern California. Will you be planning to return home for the holidays?"

"I have no plans to, I can celebrate Saturnalia just as easily over here."

"I haven't been back home for five years, that was when my father was taken ill."

"How are your parents now?"

"They are fine, I speak to them every month or so. My mother is still hard work, my very quiet father is still terrified of my mother but it works somehow."

"Have they come out here to visit?"

"They came a couple of years ago. How are things with Leonard, Penny and the others back home?"

"I get scientific emails from Leonard every week or so and he keeps me up to date with news about our friends."

"Do they know about me in Cambridge?"

"No, I shall tell them about you if you want me to."

"I have an idea, what are you doing on 25th December?"

On Xmas Day Sheldon went to Amy's home in Grantchester for the day.

"Happy Saturnalia Sheldon"

"Happy Saturnalia Amy"

Amy had a nice telephone call with her parents as Sheldon cleaned up in the kitchen after Amy had made Xmas dinner. Then at 9.00pm Sheldon went to Amy's computer for a video chat.

"Hello everyone, how are things back home in California?"

One screen had Penny and Leonard "Hi sweetie", "Hello buddy."

The other screen had Bernadette, Howard and Raj "Hello Sheldon", "Hi Sheldon", "Hi Sheldon, Anju is working at the hospital today so I am spending the day with Howard and Bernadette."

Sheldon then said "Good to see you all again. I have someone here who wants to say hello."

Amy sat down next to Sheldon in front of the video camera.

"Hello everyone, good to see you all again!"

"Bestie!"
