I grew up calling it a swede, but in Cornwall it's a turnip.

Morning all, Cold and frosty down here. I'm all packed and ready now, just waiting for our taxi to come and collect us and then we are off to the airport. Have a good week and catch up with you all later. Pam

You could link the bookings. We are on Britannia in September, seven of us in four cabins, and have linked all the bookings together.

OH has an allotment and last year had so many tomatoes and cucumbers, many more than we could eat. Everytime someone called round the were asked if they wanted some, my mother was inundated with cucumbers too. I still have beans and raspberries in the freezer.

Good morning everyone. I hope you're well and or on the road to recovery for those of you that are poorly. Had an interesting conversation with a lady in the frozen food aisle yesterday regarding cruising. She used to work for P&O and her daughter works on the Disney ships. Busy day ahead for me today, as I must get packed for our trip away tomorrow. I've not got to cook as we are going round to my daughter's for a roast dinner later, and my grandaughter is making pudding. Hope you all enjoy your Sunday. Pam

Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day.

I've given up trying to put mascara on since I've needed glasses for reading. I tend to get more on the glasses than on my eyelashes🥴

Have a lovely time and enjoy.

Good Morning all, A birght sunny day although cold. Spring is on it's way as on my drive over to Mum's yesterday, through the county lanes, you can see daffs, catkins, pussy willow and blossom in the hedgerows and trees. Josy - good luck car hunting. Jane - hope the driving lesson goes well. Take care everyone and have a good weekend.

My mother and I have always had different booking numbers when in different cabins. We have used assistance for boarding and disembarking many times and others have said we have had not problems.

Just proves what a small world we live in as I started work in 1974 with the BBC in the Aldwych.

Morning all, How is everyone this morning? Well I hope and feeling better for those of you that have been poorly. I'm going over to see Mum this morning, and then plan to get things sorted to pack for going away on Monday, although I can't do any packing as I don't have a case! I used to get £21 a week working as a junior secretary in London in 1974. Take care, Pam

Glad to hear that Sarah is getting better.

I have received an e-mail this morning from P&O saying that the godmother will be announced soon!

As you can see I'm back😄 Laptop and phone all set up, just need to sort out the printer as it didn't want to play ball when I tried to print something earlier. 🙄 As task for tomorrow. Hope you all had a good day. I'm off now to catch up on other threads and my e-mails. Have a good evening.

Morning to you all, I hope everyone is well and those of you that are poorly are feeling better. Just having a quick catch up before we loose our connection as we are switching broadband suppliers today, just hope we don't get any problems! 🤞 My youngest daughter called in yesterday and offered to buy me some walking boots so we can go walking. Is she trying to tell me something?🤔 I should be getting organised as we go away next week but just don't have any motivation. Take care, have a good day and hopefully will see you all soon. Pam

Have had several crossings of the Bay of Biscay and has been calm each time - I must be lucky. We have had force 10 storms in both the Med and up in the North Sea. I have previously had Kwells, but stopped when I noticed that they were not recommended if you are over 60!

I had flu over Christmas and it's that long ago that I got rid of the cough. I don't know what this bug is but I am at present dosed up on Paracetamol and still feel cold. My daughter bought me some drunk cheeses back from a deli on her trip to London, but I've no interest in trying them.

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well, and wish you a speedy recovery. I too am not feeling right, just hope whatever it is I don't succumb as we are due to go away next Monday. Take care and get well soon. Pam

I'm happy😄 as I got to keep my discount card when Tesco made me redundant, so still get 10% of my shopping. Six bottle of wine, minus 25%, minus 10% (sometimes 15%). What's not to smile about?😁 Unfortunately 15% is next weekend!😒

We We have the same itinerary in the middle of May and haven't had any information from them about Palma.

Sounds like a nightmare journey. I gave up communting on trains when I moved down here! I am waiting for trains to be bookable in May to Southampton, and that looks as though we will have 2 changes.

Hope you all have a lovely time.

I hope they this applies to all the ships too. On Arvia in May so will see.

We were on Azura last May and had a lovely time. It was booked as a late booking, but we had no complaints with the ship, the only problem I had was the "app" wouldn't work in our cabin. A minor detail!!
