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…
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…
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…
We hadn’t done much on Friday or Saturday, apart from packing our cases and getting ready for a trip away. Yes! We are finally able to go away on holiday and, whilst it may not be as exciting as Chile and Easter Island, at least it would be a break and a change of scenery….
Once again we woke up to a cloudy sky, but at least it was dry. 🙂 We hadn’t booked an excursion today, preferring instead to explore Greenock on our own. People who arrive in Greenock tend to see it as the gateway to Glasgow and go straight there, but as we’ve already been to Glasgow…
