Two Days at Sea

Posted on February 25, 2022April 24, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Friday, 25 February 2022 Woke up to the depressing realisation that the holiday we had looked forward to for so long was looking a bit sick now. In 48 hours we’d be on the road for home. 🙁 Nonetheless, we were still on board, and we determined to enjoy our time on this lovely ship….

Back to the Borealis

An exciting day dawned as we woke up to the happy realisation that today was the day we were going on a cruise!  Unlike last year, when we were only allowed to cruise in British waters, this one would see us venture abroad for the first time since September 2020.  Yes!  We were going to…

Back to the Boudicca

Posted on August 14, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

As I remember from my childhood, all Enid Blyton books seemed to start Chapter 1 with “Hooray for the Holidays”, and indeed that is how we felt this morning, as we leapt out of bed at 7.30am.  In fact, getting up at that time was a veritable lie-in compared to the times we have had…

Sunny and Calm in the Irish Sea

Posted on November 23, 2014April 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Couldn’t get out of my pit this morning which wasn’t really a surprise, after a late night and lots of booze.  🙁  At least the weather was a lot calmer and the skies brighter. Today was our last day on the Boudicca (boo-hoo) so we just had to make the most of the rest of our…

The Leaving of Liverpool

Posted on November 8, 2014April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Our friends and family say we are mad. They can think of no other explanation as to our choice of holiday destination. After all, northern Britain in November – a month where autumn hovers uncertainly at the edge of winter – is cold and dark. So where are we going for our holidays? Somewhere even…
