I have posted almost daily on Dani's Routine day in lockdown thread on Royal Caribbean forums since it started on April 2nd 2020 and it is getting close to 60,000 posts now. It is the friendly camaraderie among the posters like I also experience on here which attracts me to post daily. Graham.

I absolutely agree. No one should be made to feel bad that they are making too many posts,thread drifting or not multi posting by other posters. I have seen lots of posters leave forums with a parting post saying They have had enough!! When I have started threads I have welcomed a wide discussion and encouraged as many people as possible to give their views.

Sorry you are missing your cruise but pleased you got your refund. Different countries in Europe have different quarantine measures which are confusing to us as they keep changing so I can understand your concern. Graham.

Great photos Greg. I'm sorry to hear you still have knee pain but it is encouraging you can walk for 1 hour. Graham.

Oh no. I'm sorry to hear you have been unwell and had to cancel your cruise because of a positive covid test.

Great choice Sarah. Are you sailing round trip from Southampton or flying to Tenerife and sailing from there and flying back to England ?. Graham.

@smitty34877. Sending our very best wishes for your son's 45th birthday. Best wishes also for Tana's good health. G&P

We went out for lunch today then called at the beach.

We had lunch out today. Pauline had a vegetarian mixed grill and I had a meat lovers mixed grill.

Thank you for today's lists Roy. Graham.

Good afternoon. It is 59°F and sunny here in North East England. Thank you for posting today's daily Rich. A great selection of days especially as we are entering summer and warm weather. Wigs can be fun for some people but for cancer patients who have lost their hair with chemotherapy they are a blessing. The quote is true especially for dementia patients as we know after caring exclusively for Pauline's late mam for the last 4 years of her life with Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. Prayers 🙏 for better health and recovery for everyone on the care list. I hope everyone has a nice day and lovely weekend. Graham.

Lovely back garden and the pool will be amazing during summer. It is sunny and 56°F currently here in North East England.

Sending you both our best wishes for an amazing cruise in 2 weeks time John. It was always me looking to book cruises and short breaks but now Pauline is looking for cruises at least as much if not more than me. We have had 5 post covid cruises and Pauline has been more proactive than me in booking them. I'm delighted for Sarah and her family that their first cruise has been excellent and like most of us want more cruises. The abundance of outside seats and tables on most decks on Iona,pictures of which I previously posted and Sarah mentioned is great for us who don't want to lie in the sun all day.

Your posts have been a joy to read Sarah. I'm pleased you have all had a super cruise and hopefully it is the start of many more for you and your family. Wishing you a lovely relaxing day today and easy disembarkation tomorrow. Graham.

Lots of lovely places in Yorkshire Wowzz. York, Harrogate Leeds are the obvious but lots of nice places in the Yorkshire Dales. The Lake District is a favourite of ours but a little further than your ideal 100 miles. Lake District Hotels group is a good place to start.

Thank you Terri. That is very reassuring. I'm pleased they work well for you. Graham.

Thank you for the updated lists Roy and my inclusion. Graham.

Amazing photos Sarah.

Paulines cousin lives in Australia and recommended this gel which was a hit for humans in Australia. It is for horses and dogs and I got it from the vet shed and it works well.

Sending our best wishes to you also. Graham.

We have just had a fish and chips takeaway overlooking the sea. The local Newcastle - Amsterdam DFDS ferry has just passed.

Make sure you take at least double the meds you would normally need Jane. I hope your cruise is fantastic. Graham.
