We have been open most of the year with social distancing,masks etc. David our vicar always WhatsApps us his sermon so I can forward it to a cruise critic church friend in Texas.

I agree, it has been lovely getting to know all of you on here and Avril sums it up nicely. I too am another that isn't into social media, but have been made to feel at home her and has helped me through the past year. I hope this post will remain. Not a brilliant day today for me as I'm suffering from more head pains than normal, but reading through this post has cheered me up. It is a lovely photo of Josy too and nice to put a face to a name. Dull and overcast here with a bit of a breeze, but dry. Might get to see the sun later if we are lucky and get into double figures. 🤞 Hope everyone has a good day. Sorry to hear you are suffering from head pains and hope a few paracetamol takes the pain away. Take care. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sunshine had brought out the midges they were every where, so we didn't stay too long . On the way home we passed by a country back lane that we like to use as it's so peaceful ,apart from today , that was full of dog walkers and cars parked every space they could find . I don't blame them trying to get out on such a nice day either. Back home for us and will try on a weekday when it's a lot quieter. There are 3 car parks nearby and all are full. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted March 21, 2021 #17460 Share Posted March 21, 2021 This is the trouble with no one being allowed to go abroad, we have some lovely places in this country but as shops and restaurants are closed too all our beauty spots are getting crowded! We went to a local park in November on a week day and I couldn’t believe how many people were there! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most services here have gone online since January. Most of the churches locally here are closed because of the risk of covid.However we have had live services online and 'coffee pod' chats where we are put into a zoom room with others which has been good.Our church re opens on Easter Sunday but people will have to book because of the 30 people limit and we have been asked to only go once every few weeks so everyone who wants to can attend.It will be nice to have the church open for occasions other than funerals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it will work for your type of headache, and I hope you don't think I'm a fruit loop, but I use acupressure. Press firmly on the soft area between the base of your thumb and index finger. Just close your eyes, breathe slowly and relax and you can feel the pain lifting. It works for me and on Frank's migraines. There are other pressure points for headaches if you look up acupressure. I hope you can find something there that works for you.

We still get the odd spat, but nothing that drags on like it used to. Unfortunately, you will still get the moaners who will complain that this thread has nothing to do with cruising, so I expect the padlock will be out as soon as some cruising normality returns. Andy I hope that Sharon will let us keep this thread because it is so entertaining. I don't really do social media other than this and a WhatsApp group for the bowling club. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted March 21, 2021 #17470 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Well I have seen the sea this afternoon! Had a quick walk along the Leas in Folkestone after my Covid jab. Bit fresh when we faced the breeze but very pleased to be somewhere different. Very efficient in the old Debenhams, came out the time I was due in! Strangely I felt the needle this time and I didn’t feel a thing last time! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted March 21, 2021 #17471 Share Posted March 21, 2021 On another point- seems odd the summer ‘staycation’ cruises has been moved to the Princess forum, most of the posts were about P&O with a few about Princess when they launched theirs!

I don't mind how cold or breezy it is provided it isn't raining when we are out for a walk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril Thanks Avril, but they are not headaches. The pains are only on the right side of my head and vary in type as a result of neurosurgery. When I asked my consultant if they would go in time or if I would have to learn to live with them he couldn't say. I have learnt to live with them but some days are better than others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
