I left my soul there,Down by the sea. The Sea – Morcheeba I woke up this morning, stretched luxuriously, inhaled deeply, a little smile of contentment playing about my lips as I anticipated the delights we would no doubt experience today. 🙂 Getting washed and dressed, we went for our pre-breakfast coffees and teas; breakfast…
Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies.Look straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skies. I Can See Clearly Now – Johnny Nash We were up at our usual 7.30 this morning and out onto the deck of the Glen Tarsan, where we breathed in the clear, fresh morning sea air. The loch was calm…
…And we have our hats on too, as the wind was still blowing and gusting and whipping up lively little waves as we awoke this morning to blue sky and fluffy clouds at last. 😊 As we enjoyed another epic breakfast in the saloon, it was almost like being in one of those revolving restaurants…
Here comes the rain again,Falling on my head like a memory;Falling on my head like a new emotion. The Eurythmics Very appropriate today to start with an Annie Lennox song, after all, she is as Scottish as they come. 😊 Raising our heads from our pillows and looking out of our window this morning, we…
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing;Onward! the sailors cry… We woke up this morning before 7.00am (early for a Sunday morning!) after an excellent night’s sleep, aided by the fact that the engines and generator on the Glen Tarsan are closed down overnight, to ensure a lovely quiet evening in calm, sheltered…
I must go down to the sea again,To the lonely sea and the sky “Sea Fever” – John Masefield What can I say? Today we were going on a cruise. Yes! Actually on a vessel, on the sea, sleeping on board. A cruise! The first one since November 2019, and the first one since the…
Got up at 6.45am to find that the Celebrity Eclipse was docked in Los Angeles, right back where she started from. Felt really depressed that this was the last day of our fabulous, long-awaited holiday. The weather was dry but dull, and certainly cooler than it had been when we’d arrived. We walked along Deck 14…
REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY Got up at eight o’clock this morning and went out onto the balcony; the weather was a bit warmer this morning and we hoped it would be hot and sunny on our arrival into Ensenada, Mexico. We had last visited Ensenada in March 2000 on the Holiday, and we looked forward to seeing…
Got up this morning at our usual eight o’clock, marvelling that it was a fortnight ago that we’d left home. How the time had winged by. Today was our last sea day before reaching terra firma, and once again we got into our routine and did all the ‘usual’ things. After breakfast, therefore, it was…
Ahhhh… woke up and stretched luxuriantly in our crisp cotton sheets this morning, and lay for a while watching the sea passing by outside our balcony doors. Then I got up and went outside; once again the sea-breeze was brisk and it wasn’t as warm as we would have liked. Today we had nothing planned…
