Returning South – 14th November – Day 7

15/11/202515/11/2025

Jane had a lie in while I went to breakfast, requesting a yoghourt/granola pot when I returned to the room. I thought I’d go American for this breakfast, pancakes and crispy bacon, and as you can’t get a sausage pattie I had to make do with a Cumberland sausage instead.

Tromsø Second Day – 13th November – Day 7

14/11/202514/11/2025

We managed to miss breakfast again, obviously over excited by yesterdays adventures. We were on our second day in Tromsø, and had nothing planned before the early afternoon so had decided on finishing off the laundry. I was tasked with ironing my shirts while Jane went in search of a

Tromsø First Day – 12th November – Day 6

14/11/202514/11/2025

We were going to have a quiet day as we had our Northern Light’s tour booked for later in the afternoon. So after a leisurely breakfast where I had my first fry-up it was time to do some laundry. There aren’t any launderettes on deck 9 so I was tasked

Heading North – 11th November – Day 5

13/11/202514/11/2025

Jane nudged me at 08:45 reminding me  I needed to get myself up and dressed if I wanted to make breakfast, but I was still feeling full after the excellent meal in Bamboo the previous evening, so I grunted and turned over and went back to to sleep for a

Trondheim – November 10th – Day 4

11/11/202514/11/2025

We arrived in the Norwegian port of Trondheim overnight, and it’s now noticeably colder on the balcony. We had a walking tour booked for the morning so Jane had decided to get room service for breakfast and have a lie in but I like the Grills Restaurant for breakfast so

North Sea – Remembrance Sunday – November 9th – Day 3

10/11/202510/11/2025

I had a much better sleep, barring one thing, the Illy coffee machine started flashing during the night, and once I’d seen it I couldn’t not see it. I ended up turning it off by unplugging it. I ended up sleeping so late Jane had to nudge me awake and

First Sea Day – Saturday 8th November – Day 2

09/11/202509/11/2025

We decided to go straight to bed after dinner, it had been a hectic day and even though I fancied seeing the featured act in the theatre going to bed was the better choice. We were about to lose an hour because we were moving onto CET from GMT. It’s

Embarkation, Southampton – Friday 7th November – Day 1

08/11/202514/11/2025

QM2 was arriving late into Southampton this morning, apparently the sea crossing from New York had been a bit lumpy so she’d been diverted south to avoid the worst of it. We had already been informed by text by Cunard and advised to arrive one hour later than planned to

15/02/202517/02/2025

Today’s Daily Programme can be found here…. Going out for a Valentine’s dinner the night before a three hour drive to the New Forest turned out not to be one of my better ideas. The dinner itself was very nice as was the Primativo that accompanied it, a little too

15/02/202525/08/2025

Today’s Daily Programme is here …. Today’s Menu is here …. I had had a serious accident cycling to work during lock down. I’d hit a pothole and was thrown off my bike, landing awkwardly, the head of my femur punched through my pelvis breaking it into four places. This
