Hopefully the snow will all have gone by the time I need to pop out to our local (150yds away) Sainsburys for some milk. Mowtown weather here; Three degrees, four tops. All our snow had washed away by 08:00 ish, so into Barnsley for breakfast and a mooch. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full sunbathing on deck weather yesterday, and although slightly cloudy today, still very pleasant. Hope you are keeping Azura in good shape - I’ll be boarding on Saturday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted December 4, 2023 #52955 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Currently 4C but feels like 1C very dull and wet, most of snow has gone. No volunteer session today as there is a big pool of water outside the entrance which is making access difficult, so a decision has been made to close the site today due to water and general condition of the ground. Hopefully estates team will be out to resolve the reoccurring pool issue. Now waiting for a delayed Amazon delivery, should have come yesterday but understandably it was rescheduled for today.

Josy1953 Posted December 4, 2023 #52956 Share Posted December 4, 2023 A very grey and wet day here. It is my niece's funeral today so we are in for a cold wet visit to the crematorium. We will be back there next Wednesday for her dad's funeral and then next Friday for a friend's funeral. We will soon have reserved seats because we seem to spend so much time there. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted December 4, 2023 #52965 Share Posted December 4, 2023 For the cheese lovers out there. Asda are selling a special Scottish cheese called “the Minger” for Christmas. For those who have not tried this it is a feast for the senses. It really stinks (really stinks, much worse that stinking bishop)but tastes absolutely amazing. Leave it to warm and it ouzes onto the cheese board. I never thought a major supermarket would sell this so a nice surprise. Try it! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted December 4, 2023 #52966 Share Posted December 4, 2023 We’re just coming back up across Biscay from our Queen Victoria Canaries cruise. The ship is a bit rocky today but only 3 to 4 metre swell which is a lot less than people have experienced during November but more than we had on the way down 10 days ago. It’s been a very relaxing enjoyable cruise and we dock in Southampton on Wednesday. I know that this is a P&O forum but I’ll put some overall summary thoughts about the cruise and Cunard when I get back because some who read this thread cruise on Cunard or may be considering it. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted December 4, 2023 #52971 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Thank you all for your kind thoughts. The funeral was an unusual experience for us in that it was non-religious but the celebrant was lovely. My niece had always said that she wanted a cremation and that we should leave the crematorium to the song "burn baby burn" and her husband had arranged for it to be played as we left the crematorium. I apologise to any one in Staffordshire who had a long wait at UHNM today due to the number of staff who who were missing to be at the funeral including 3 surgeons, one of whom came to chat with my husband because he was the surgeon who did DH's heart op 15 years ago. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twotravellersLondon Posted December 5, 2023 #52972 Share Posted December 5, 2023 It is 5˚C and drizzle this morning... but it is a least a home day. We were away in Norfolk the weekend before last and since the we've been out all days bar one... so today is a welcome stay at home and catch up. The big plan is to put up the Christmas decorations. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted December 5, 2023 #52973 Share Posted December 5, 2023 What a great sense of humour your niece must have had Josy. On such a sad day, Burn Baby Burn must have brought a smile to many faces. How lovely that so many eminent staff attended. Your niece obviously touched many hearts. I know you have to do all this again in too short a time but for now, rest, gather your strength and rejoice in the happy memories you have of a girl who was much loved. My love and best wishes to you all. Jane xx 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted December 5, 2023 #52974 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Good morning. It is dry and 6°C here. Sadly our club Sunderland are looking for a new manager as Tony Mowbray was sacked last night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
