Happy Anniversary to you both Michelle

We are taking my mum to a Warners hotel later in the year and I have booked my restaurants online already. It’s a sign of the times, just about everything is online now Michelle

Glad you had a good time, we really liked Arvia. Love all the food pictures Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all well. I have just been catching up with all your posts, some lovely photos posted. Richard’s mum & dad have been staying this weekend. We took them to the theatre Friday night to see Stepping Out and went to Blackpool Tower Circus yesterday. There has been an Elmer (elephant)Trail in Blackpool last few weeks totalling about 50 Elmer elephants and there is an auction on Thursday selling them off. They are all painted in different designs. We went to look at them yesterday thinking we might bid but the starting bids are £1500!! So maybe not!! Have a nice day everyone Michelle

Hope there are no serious injuries and that Mrs K feels better soon Michelle

He is very lucky if he gets all that paid for him. My first car was a red mini with a black roof. I had to buy it myself, pay the insurance and all the running costs by myself. I couldn’t wait to learn to drive, had my first driving lesson on my 17th birthday. Michelle

Exactly the same, hopefully I will get it sorted today Michelle

Good morning everyone, it’s a dull morning here but same as yesterday the sun is forecast to appear after lunch. A bit of a change of plan for me today. I was meeting friends for coffee this morning, trying a new place that has just opened but last night whilst eating some garlic bread part of my tooth broke off so it looked like an emergency appointment at the dentist. I will go to the gym too in the afternoon carrying on my attempts to get fitter and keep my muscles working as best I can. Mrsgoggins, I sympathise about the weeding of the block paving, we have the same problem. The paving appears to be quite old, we would love to replace it but it would be really expensive so the maintenance of it will have to suffice. I hope all the new mummies, babies and daddies are doing well. Have a nice day everyone Michelle

Good morning everyone. A dull morning here but weather forecast says sunny later so fingers crossed. Not sure what I am doing today yet, always things I can find that need doing in the house. I should go to the gym too. Have a good day everyone Michelle

Congratulations to you all Michelle

Good morning everyone, hope you are all ok today. Its not a bad morning here, cloudy but fairly mild and no breeze for a change. We have visitors coming over today, they are arriving just before lunch hopefully. Our local butcher makes their own tapas dishes so hubby just gone there the get food for us. I won’t be watching trooping the colour as we have visitors but glad Princess of Wales is going. Have a nice day everyone Michelle

We have, it is really nice and is my mums favourite place for afternoon tea Michelle

Family holiday to Devon end June, Ashcombe Cottages near Dawlish. Got a pool and activities for the children too, there are thirteen of us going. We have a few big birthdays this year, son in law was 40 last Saturday, my mum is 90 in July and I am 60 in August and it’s my hubbys birthday while we are away. On my mums actual birthday we are having afternoon tea at a Clifton Arms Hotel in Lytham Michelle

I hope your mum is ok too Sue. It’s my mums 90th birthday on 10 July so I want her to be well enough to celebrate Michelle

Mum update - Dr sent her for an x-ray at local hospital but Radiologist though he was asking for wrong part to be x-rayed looking at her injuries so she rang Dr and I now have to take her to Blackpool Victoria Hospital in the morning for an X-ray. I then have to take her for a Dermatology appt tomorrow at a different Hosp and to top it all out dog has to go for a three month check up at the vets. I can see I am going to need a large glass of wine tomorrow night. Sadly everything seems to have changed for her this year. We go away on holiday in two weeks so I am hoping she will be well enough to go 🤞 Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, it’s a sunny/cloudy day here, feels a bit cool though, car said 14 degrees when I was out late morning. Jane, it’s nice to see you posting again. Josy, I am glad that planning has been refused and you don’t have to move. Taking my mum for a check up at the Drs this afternoon, fingers crossed all is good. Michelle

Lovely picture, looks very calm. My mum is doing well, she is quite bruised but not needing any painkillers. She is on a soft food diet for a couple of weeks. Michelle

Thank you for posting the menu, there looks to be some good choices Michelle

Love the flower pics especially the one with the cute dog Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok today. I have had a stressful couple of days. My mum (nearly 90) had a fall in St Annes on Weds, the front wheel of her Walker got stuck in small pot hole and she carried on walking and went flat on her face. To cut a long story short she dislodged her front teeth and has lots of facial bruising but she is ok. The dentist has moved her teeth back into place and has secured them with a wire for two weeks. I have seen her this morning, she is doing well but her face is badly bruised but she is fine in herself. On a different note the island for our kitchen and the new outside door arrived this morning, been fitted tomorrow. Have a nice weekend everyone Michelle

Just about the standard of the food in the dining room and in any speciality restaurant really. I know not to expect Celebrity standard!!! Thank you Michelle

Hi Eglesbrech, I am really glad I have found this thread to read about your experience on MSC. I have not sailed with MSC since 2017 when we were on Divina in the Caribbean. I booked an MSC cruise yesterday on Grandiosa, Feb 2026 out of Port Canaveral. We are going with my daughter and her hubby, his parents and our grandchildren. The grandchildren are so excited to be going to the Caribbean. We intend to spend a few days before in Florida. Thank you for writing daily updstes Michelle

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well this morning. It’s a sunny/cloudy day here today, hubby says it feels cool out as well. I might take my mum for a stroll into Lytham this morning then it’s dog walking and a visit to the gym for me. Have a nice day everyone Michelle

Good morning everyone, hope you are all ok today. It is hazy sunshine here in Lytham St Annes at the moment, forecast to get to 16 degrees today. We had some turf delivered yesterday so hubby is laying a lawn today. When we moved here last December the gardens hadn’t been touched for nearly two years so it’s going to be a major project to get them looking decent agsin. I am just doing the normal household jobs a d I might go to the gym. Have a lovely day everyone Michelle
