We're off...

...on the high seas. Well, not too high, I hope. I know how lucky we are, especially after years of rainy holidays in England with the children (we never once had a dry one. Not even in the baking summer of 1976, although we did have fun), and while I'm not really a cruise person, John isn't that steady on his feet, so it really suits us. I don't  have the right clothes, the right tan or the right (very white) teeth, but no matter. We're much looking forward to it.

 

 

Our "suite" (ha) and the ship we're going on. Last time we went steerage....

I shall miss Adrian's beetles and Graham's stuning views, and all the other updates from the blogs I follow, but I'll catch up on our return. I am not taking iPad or anything else electronic with me. I need to be weaned off...

A holiday picture for a grey* day

This is my youngest grandson (and friends) on the plane on his way to Greece. He may look serious, but apparently he had a  marvellous time.

(*I know that some are experiencing the sun today, but as yet there are have been no sightings in Devizes)

I'm off...

...to the Lake District tomorrow, with eldest son and two of his boys. It will rain (it always does) but we shall walk and pincic and dam streams and eat Cumberland sausage and chips. Back next week-end.

I hope anyone else who's off on their holidays has a good time, and not too much rain.
