Managed to book the Olive Grove and the Beech House for a couple of nights at each for our 17th Sep cruise on Arvia. Will be interesting to see the differences between her and Iona. Perdy, many thanks for pics and info of Sky Princess, have a lovely cruise. All sorted now, approached it from a different angle😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great itinerary, so thank you 👍 You are welcome. It is a great itinerary, we have been to most of the places on the St Lawrence and always wanted to go back plus we have not done the eastern side of the states. Hope to see you onboard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted September 3, 2023 #49581 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Over the coming days as the country suffers in a heat wave and you send photos of your meals and beautiful sunny snaps please share a thought for anyone involved in a school .... We have battled through the rain, cold and winds throughout August and have now had to go back to work / school Not bitter ..... much .... really 😉 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope everyone had a great weekend and are well this morning. Nice here in Lancashire too, and off to WWT Martin Mere (we are lifetime members and it's my go-to place, like your beach visits maybe Graham?) to visit the ducks shortly, with our teenage grandson. Yesterday we took him to the Avro Heritage Museum at Stockport, where he and DH did a few of the cockpit tours. They were especially pleased to do the Vulcan tour with a genuine former Vulcan pilot. This museum is well worth a visit for anyone remotely interested - and has a good café with lovely views, which is where I spent much of my time 😉 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time did you manage to book if you don't mind me asking? Pleased you are sorted. I booked at 8.30am, many would have stayed up until after midnight ! managed to get 7pm in Beech House, so very fortunate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted September 4, 2023 #49592 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Morning all, hope you are all fit and well. Hot already down here at 19c. Need to make a few phone calls regarding our cruise next week. How come I got the job of trying to organise everyone when I was invited to join them?😵 Enjoy your day.

Snow Hill Posted September 4, 2023 #49594 Share Posted September 4, 2023 It’s 26C here with light breeze and clear blue sky. I was attempting to finish putting in the new raised bed, but a combination of aching shoulders after yesterday’s demolition of a small wall and blazing sunshine, I have postponed until tomorrow afternoon when the area will be in the shade. Have decided to order a skip to dispose of rubble and the old raised bed, plus some items dumped at side of garage, just a matter of deciding which day. This afternoon a volunteer shift will be quite pleasant as cooler there due to shading of trees and nearby river. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The postman has spoiled the day by pushing an hospital appointment through the door, so while you are enjoying school for the next few weeks I will be having my annual mammogram to check that I am still clear and then worrying until I get the results. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too hot for me but I just find a bit of shade . I was kicked out of the cinema today just because I took my own food! My argument was the prices they charge there are outrageous, and besides I haven't had a barbecue for ages. 🙃😆 I was just grilling a chicken but it still wouldn't tell me why it crossed the road ? 😉 28.c now here ,so take care when out and about . 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted September 4, 2023 #49600 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Evening all. Been busy running errands for my parents Friday and Saturday but yesterday we escaped to my happy place- Broadstairs! John was sceptical as it was a bit murky driving down but I told him it was going to improve - lovely few hours were spent there. Today, back to reality mentally busy day at work (due to not enough staff) and I’ve got to help M&D out again tomorrow, no restful day off! It’s warm in their flat so I will be melting!
