We cruised on Azura for the first time in Feb this year, just a week for a bit of Winter sun. I didn’t find it the easiest of ships to navigate but I did like the ship. We ate in the Oriental for breakfast every day which was brilliant. We also ate in Epicurean which was fabulous, Sindu which was good and Glass House which was good. Food in MDR on an evening was good too, no complaints. Hope you have a fabulous time Michelle

It’s dull and dismal here today too and has just been raining heavily. Hope you have a lovely time in Sicily Pam, I am sure it will be nice and warm when you step off the plane. I just love that feeling, it just smells different to me. It’s ladies coffee morning for me this morning at St Annes Tennis Club, they are a great bunch of ladies. It was set up for people to meet new friends, most of us are people who have moved into the area. Hubby is off to Man United tonight, that is def not my thing!!! Have a good day everyone Michelle

Congratulations to you both!! Glad mum and baby are both ok. My grandchildren call their great grandma Supergran Michelle

Cape Verde looks lovely. There was a programme with Jane MacDonald a while ago. You might be able to find it online to have a look Michelle

Morning everyone, hope you are all well today. Had a busy morning, cooked two meals ready for daughter and son-in-law coming over, four grandchildren slept here has night so they have been helping. Just going to the park now for them to run off some energy. We took them to see the World Fireworks Championships in Blackpool last night, it was amazing, we are going again in three weeks. Hope you all have a lovely day Michelle

No view, at the service station and raining!! Michelle

Curry and chips, chips and gravy, chips and mushy peas, I love them all!!! Going to World Firework Championships tonight in Blackpool - weather dependent, currently heavy rain here. I did “a Graham” and called at Greggs today, unfortunately I ate the sausage roll before I took the photo Michelle

I will look forward to reading your posts again in due course when you are ready Michelle

Glad to hear Mrs J is home and recovering and that you too are much better Michelle

Morning everyone, it’s dull and breezy here today. Just dropped my car in for an MOT and then bern for my Covid booster jab, had the flu jab last week. Had Pfizer this time, not had that before. Not doing much rest of the day, I have got a pile of filing/ sorting paper work so I might make the effort with that. Its supposed ti get very windy here by lunchtime so the garden will look a mess again when the leaves and apples start falling off. Have a good day everyone and take care Michelle

Thank you Graham, I will show her this when I see her on Saturday Michelle

Happy birthday!!! Hope you have had a lovely day. It’s my granddaughter’s birthday today too, she is 6. I have been over to Yorkshire to see her Michelle

Hope you are not too ill and only have mild symptoms and recover quickly Michelle

We are already half way through a tin of quality street, you have to make sure they taste the same as last year don’t you….. Michelle

It would be much cheaper now, I paid just short of £2200 for a standard balcony cabin near the front of the ship, that would be much cheaper now. It is what it is, we all have choices to suit us. What is acceptable for one is not acceptable for another, that’s life and different expectation levels. Michelle

I still have our dinner menus from 2011 on our first cruise on Oceana to the Fjords. It is definitely different. Would it stop me cruising? Absolutely not, love cruising so much Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok. It is pretty miserable here today and is raining at the moment. I have forced myself to go the gym this morning and just celebrated with a toffee crisp, probably not ideal but it tasted great!! Not doing much else today, my mum is coming this afternoon and staying for tea. Have a good day everyone Michelle

That is such a lovely post and great photos. Excellent news about your health too Michelle

Happy Anniversary to you both!! Lovely photos. Only been to Liverpool once and that was to get a passport, it looks well worthy of another visit Michelle

I know, the poor animals, however our dog just isn’t bothered at all but our previous dog was terrified. I think they compete by country, it’s Switzerland next Saturday, they do it every other weekend. Think it’s an annual thing so what with the Illuminations and the fireworks it’s quite bright and sparkly in Blackpool at the moment Michelle

Of course the come to grandma’s to be spoiled, have dinner and chocolate!! Knitting and learning how to crochet are secondary!! We have ours next weekend, so I know I will be shopping for treats this week and planning things to do. World Fireworks championships in Blackpool next Saturday night so we will go to that Hope everyone is ok today, have a good weekend. We are decorating or rather hubby is decorating and I am keeping it all tidy and cleaning up Michelle

I have just requested a Potters Brochure, looks interesting Michelle

We have two Warner breaks booked, one in Dec at Nidd Hall where John Martin (comedian) is on. We have seen him before, he is very funny without been rude or offensive. We are taking the in-laws as their joint birthdays and Christmas pressie. The second one is at Heythrop Park with my mum next September. Never been to the Cotswolds so looking forward to that. As neither set of parents will cruise this is a good alternative Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, well I have just been out with the dog and got drowned in a heavy rain shower, got a rather soggy doggy now, she hates the rain. Going to the gym soon then the dreaded supermarket shop to do. Michelle

Glad to hear you are doing well Kalos. They did the same for me last year, I was put on a “virtual ward” at the hospital, I had to submit my oxygen level readings via an app every three hours and a Dr rang me every day. They would have admitted me if my levels fell below 94%, fortunately it didn’t but excellent service. Michelle
