After an excellent night’s sleep, I woke up this morning around seven o’clock, and for a few seconds I wondered where we were. Then I remembered – we were on the Celebrity Silhouette. On a cruise!! 😊 We got up around 8.00am and, as ever, went out onto the balcony, where the Silhouette was gliding…
We leapt out of bed at five o’clock this morning because, once again, we are going on a cruise!! We are certainly making up for our cruise-less year in 2020 by going on our third voyage this year. 🙂 Today, we had the long drive down to Southampton to contend with before joining the Celebrity…
We got up this morning around 8.00am and eagerly went out onto the balcony to see what the weather was like. It promised to be sunny and warm, and we’d left the balcony door wide open last night to let in the cool sea air; it is so much nicer than the drying effects of…
MemoriesLight the corners of my mind.Misty watercolour memoriesOf the way we were. Barbra Streisand When we woke up this morning and went out onto our balcony, I felt all funny inside as we watched the Borealis gliding into her berth in Portsmouth, Hampshire. I could see the Spinnaker Tower in the near distance and the…
We got up this morning around 7.30am and went out on the balcony, watching for a short while at the Borealis approached her berth in Portland, Dorset. We could see she had lots of company today; from our vantage point we spotted P&O ships Arcadia, Britannia and Aurora, as well as the Royal Navy auxiliary…
When I opened my eyes this morning, the first thing I could see was a sideways-view of the sparkling sea gliding past our balcony doors; we leave the curtains open at night for this very reason. Always a great start to any day. 😊 Going out onto the balcony, we were pleased to see fluffy…
Today turned out to be one of those days where you have a great time just doing absolutely nothing, where you clear your mind of anything that is not-so-good, not thinking of anything serious, not watching/reading the news (we haven’t watched BBC News since we left home), not worrying about work or Covid or anything…
After an excellent night’s sleep, we woke up around 8 o’clock and went out on the balcony to see what the weather was like. We were met with the sight of grey skies and grey sea and the temperature was certainly a lot cooler than you would expect for the end of July. At least…
It was with great excitement that we leapt out of bed at 6.30am, a feat made much easier by the knowledge that we were not getting up to go to work, oh no. Today we were going on a cruise!! 😊 Yes! We are doing an 8-nighter around our wonderful British coastline on the M/S…
There’s not much more to say now. We woke up this morning and I stared up at the sloping ceiling in cabin #1 and felt so sad that we would not spend a night on board again this trip. I say “this trip” because I am certain we will be back some day. 🙂 We…
