At Sea, France

Last day started cool, windy and sunny. Finished packing in the morning and I put one case out for collection at 10:30, and it had gone by midday.

AlexandraMcKenzie I'm truly grateful for your expertise shared in this post. Your detailed breakdown illuminated aspects I hadn't considered before.

Gareth Dee sent me the stingray picture earlier. You looked as though you didn't know whether to eat it, wear it or talk to it! Lovely clear water though - I could see the spare tyre!

micks-south-american-and-pacific-cruise Yeah, Brickhill Woods into Bletchley would work!

Gareth Been thinking about you all weekend with reports on Pamela and the damage done on Vanuatu. How far are you from there? Glad to hear you have survived OK. BBC said this morning Pamela is in the top 5 cyclones ever!

Angie Just seen the Queen name the ship on the news. The bottle broke first time which I think is a good omen!

Jean Fenton Michael, I am still following your blog. You sound as if you are really enjoying yourself. Thank you for your thoughts of mum, catch up when you get home

Mar 7, 2015 re: At Sea, New South Wales

Gareth Sorry to hear about Reta Panter. One of her daughters - Barbara - was in my class at school, and another - Eileen - was my mum's cleaner from Age MK when she was at home. Small world!
