MY BIRTHDAY It was with great excitement that we woke up this morning on this, my 61st birthday.  Quite a contrast to my birthday last year, which was spent in full lockdown where I couldn’t have a party, couldn’t go out to a restaurant, couldn’t go to the pub, couldn’t have friends over.  Here we…

When we woke up this morning around 8.30am it was still dark; it would be another 45 minutes until sunrise. 🙂 After getting dressed and having breakfast, we wrapped up warmly and went out on deck. We had to tread carefully because there was ice on the deck and on the hand-rails, but the ship’s…
