Bob and I have had a lovely visit in Cambridge. It is so nice to train into a place and know where to go without getting out the Google Maps to direct us!
Yesterday, we had a great meet-up with prior homeowners (and now friends) Peter and Sue, whose home and adorable cat we cared for in October/November of 2022 while they were exploring New Zealand and cheering on the England Women’s Rugby Team in the Covid-delayed 2021 World Cup.
After checking into the Ibis by the train station, though not as early as we expected, don’t get Bob started on that, we met up with Peter, Sue, and Hugo at their home. We went to a local farm market, shops, and cafe for coffee and cake and some shopping before going back to their house to continue the visit. By this time, Hugo had awoken from his nap and came right up to us on the couch as if to welcome us back. He got right on Bob’s lap and purred contentedly. It was the sweetest thing.
Hugo is full of personality and reminded all of us later when it was his dinner time.
Hugo’s humans and us had a great dinner at Tawa, a local Indian restaurant that Bob and I had enjoyed during our first visit.
Today, Sue took me to Newnham College to see the gardens and “have a cuppa,” as they say in the cafe on campus.

Bob and I later walked into the town center and down by the River Cam to reacquaint ourselves with more of Cambridge. We stumbled onto Downing College that had some areas open to the public.
One of the places open to the public on the Downing College campus is the Heinz Gallery, where they were having an exhibition by Issam Kourbaj.
