So Cruising is our thing, and it wasn’t for years, sadly, but I can’t go back change that. For years, my mother-in-law wanted us to go on a Cruise, we had alwasys said no, as we liked to be independent. We often did fly-drive tours around the USA, we booked our own flights and hotels, […]

As you might realise, a lot of our time is taken up going to see different shows, at different theatres. There are some shows we like, some we love and others where we make a swift escape from, as soon as we can. We have tried staying for the second half of a bad show,

I said watch this space, and I changed my mind on this posting several times. We did something we didn’t think we would ever do last night, return to the Royal Albert Hall to see a concert. We pre-booked parking and a meal, but when we arrived we weren’t on the list to park there,
