St Petersburg - no ship, we were on a Regent ship but cannot remember the name. What I do remember is that they could not make a decent cup of tea. They thought semi skimmed milk was the American half & half.

Santa Margherita - Oriana. What a day that was. We tendered but the operation was disrupted by lots of small boats coming close to see us and causing too many waves for it to be safe to tender, The captain asked the harbour master to help stop the boats coming near but he refused as it was a special Saint's day where coins were thrown into the sea and the locals dived for them. This delayed tendering until late afternoon. He did give permission for the ship to stay at anchor until late at night as there was a special fireworks display we could see from the ship. The crew did amazingly well by providing an unscheduled evening BBQ on deck. It was a lovely warm evening.

Sorento - Oriana was in Naples. This photo was taken on the road to Sorrento.

I remember when there was a band at every P&O Southampton sailaway and poppers to pop which filled the dock with steamers.

I miss the Southampton brass band sailaways and when the ships were dressed over- all before leaving port.

Would love to visit Santander to see this. It reminds me of the Iron Men figures on Crosby beach by Anthony Gormley 'Another Place'
