	Day 6 - return boat, visit Pembroke

	2022-10-18 - TZ: Europe/London


	Early alarms for a relaxed start. We did most packing after
	breakfast and before cruising back to boatyard.


	First we went to the park&ride down the Abingdon Rd to fast-charge
	Cath’s new Leaf. Then we parked in westgate lot to slow-charge
	it to 100% while we went to Pembroke etc.


	(Texted Ben since he was at work here but didn’t end up
	meeting him.)


	The new Westgate is well designed and a pleasant place to
	spend time in. And enormous, with high glass roofs. But it’s
	still open air. Nice concept. It’s not surprising that retail
	elsewhere in the city is struggling.

	The porters were most insistent that we did not go inside any
	buildings. Here’s a picture of Cath in the Chapel.

	Cath recognized the gardener, Richard. One of very few people
	still there from old days. Chatted for a while about how things
	have changed.

	Look it’s us in Chapel Quad outside the SCR, and my old room

	Wonderful photo.


	After that we went, by way of shops, to Brown’s in the Covered
	Market for luncheon

	I had cottage pie.


	Then Cath drove us to LHR T3 and there was time for one last
	selfie
