and just to get the brain cells working...

What a lovely memory Tizer. We took one of my grandsons there, he loves water and we had to lure him out with ice cream

Just checked my CCTV and the sun is shining in Foulridge this morning. Clear blue skies and 21 degrees here in Tallinn, Estonia. Local time is 09:37, the sun has been up since 04:00.

It's got the makings of a nice day

I see the cruise is adults only...... How did you qualify? :biggrin2: By the skin of my teeth 😂 Day 2 in Helsinki and it's currently 23 degrees and clear skies, we are forecast the same for Tallinn tomorrow. 11:30 last night in Helsinki, still in shirtsleeves too :good: FB_IMG_1716538165077.jpg

Glad the COVID jabs weren't too bad.
We're in Helsinki, the weather here appears to be much better than at home.

By the sounds of it the further north you are the better it gets. Currently 18 degrees and blue skies in Helsinki

meat and veggies X three..... Kev's mention of the Beach House threw me for a minute. I suppose the Aurora is a floating town actually....... It is one of the smaller ships in the P&O fleet, just short of 1800 onboard. There are several restaurants and entertainment venues. The leg of lamb to s...

Do you go through the Kiel Canal Kev? Nay Gloria, the ship is too big. We've been for a wander around and went to the Zoological Museum. Got to be back on for 4pm then we're off to Helsinki :good: No Kev, I asked if you were on Caribbean Princess. So you did, sorry :biggrin2: We're on the P&O A...

Pimms by the pool, really lucky with the weather so far. We're booked into The Beach House, on the P&O Aurora for tea today. Lots of interesting dishes on the menu so we've not decided what we're having yet.

Having a wander around Kiel, Germany after two days at sea. The day started overcast but it's warm (20 degrees) and the sun is breaking through

and a piece of cheese I trust?

By comparison it's overcast and currently around 17 degrees down here in Southampton. Just waiting for a taxi to take us to the cruise terminal, it's going to be a busy one as there are 5 ships in today. Around 18500 passengers embarking in total and a music concert going on today, the estimated tra...

After a relatively long drive to Southampton (six and a half hours to do 265 miles), we're having a bit of tea at the Macdonald Botley Park Hotel.
Not the cheapest but hey ho, we're on holiday

Are you off to the Baltic Kev?

I am indeed

Packing suitcases, off to Southampton tomorrow ready to board on Saturday

Or go to the Co-op on Monday or Tuesday

No such luck! Just had a message telling me that my Covid booster has been cancelled for the fourth time. It was scheduled for 11:35 this morning. Evidently not a high priority with the powers that be. Well Pharmacy aren't listed on the NHS website as somewhere to get a booster, the closest is Tayl...

I have mine set up with a direct debit, I get an email a few weeks before it renews
