I have always liked this thread, so here I am resurrecting it!
Today I have mainly been eating, drinking and sleeping, then eating....
Such decadence! Lunchtime drinks at the Yacht club, watching the gaffer (DGD explained what it meant) racing and the sun glinting on the water, then home for a bite, then a snooze...what a life. How lovely today was.
It looks like a great trip. Do you have to allow much extra for tips? Friends are trying to persuade us to go on a cruise with them, but they seem to have to spend half as much again on tips, which makes it very expensive.
They do a 'hotel charge' which is supposed to cover tips. You can opt out of this. I prefer to do my own tipping. It usually comes to £100 in total, depending on how good the service has been and how long the trip is.
Galen great blog Fab frocks!!! P.s. Thanks for the link Bags, it worked at my second attempt, I keep getting funny little 'explosions' when I try to access some links Hope I've got a frock suitable for Sunday
Thank you all for your very kind comments. I'm no great writer but I thought it might encourage other disabled people to try! That was the only reason I did it!
Enjoyed reading your blog Galen Today we drove home from Kent 20 days after we left for France. Many thanks to Grans in France who turned up the thermostat, we had temperatures of 30/32 every day. Our pool was very pleasant and I was swimming every day but still managed to put on weight.
Thanks for the link, bags, I had been trying to find the blog. I really enjoyed it - you painted a lovely picture in words, Galen. I have subscribed to the SilverTravel site so I could say how much I enjoyed the blog.
Having been ill and out of action for a long time, now that I'm so much better I have been having a Grand Clean. My poor husband came home from work yesterday and nearly had a heart attack when he saw what I'd done and has insisted that I rest for most of today. I sort of have. I needed to take a car load to the tip [tick], I definitely needed to go to the garden centre [tick], and it was very important to go and pick the produce from the allotment [tick]. Of course I will have to convert the pickings into jam this afternoon. So I'm having a bit of a rest now.....
