    What a lovely post. I was brought up in the countryside and well remember the “berry picking” all summer with the backbreaking “tattie holidays” coming up in October - probably now equivalent to putting children up chimneys! 🤔

    Good morning from a grey and damp Glasgow. I returned from two weeks on Azura last Saturday to four beautiful sunny days so a start was made on the garden. I suppose now I should do some ironing with the disappearance of the gardening weather! Anyone else surprised we haven’t heard anything of ICF’s adventures on Arvia?

    Azura offers both. Two dining rooms for freedom and one for fixed where the latest sitting is 8.30pm.

    Hi Sheep Flavour - whisky prices in cruise terminal shop today. You’ll definitely get a better price elsewhere - usually the duty free at the airport is pretty good.
  5. Ilovemygarden
    PS - do you want me to check a specific price for you tomorrow?. I am on Azura just now.
  6. Ilovemygarden
    Quite a few of us from this board on it then - I am too. A bit apprehensive as I haven’t done 35 nights solo although have done long ones before.

    Yes there is a duty free after check in but I don’t think it’s the cheapest - if you want spirits you might be better buying on the plane. You get the 47 per cent stuff then too!

    Sorry so many of you are having problems but it is a lovely sunny day here in pretty La Palma.
  9. Ilovemygarden
    Yes it is - lovely little place.

    Lovely Madeira today. Azura had a bit of a bumpy ride yesterday to get here but all good now 😎

    Good to hear you got a quick diagnosis and don’t have to wait for results (nearly always the worst part) and looks like you’ll get treatment quite soon. Looking good for July.

    Very wet here today too. Looks like a few of us are off to keep an eye on P and O this weekend - TigerB on Iona, ICF on Arvia and I board little Azura on Saturday (looking forward to the green beans already!) I am having a Kindle crisis - I cannot get the charging cable inserted any more so hopefully Amazon Prime delivers tomorrow! 🤞

    No way round it really - it usually works out about 50% which is not too bad compared to other cruise lines.
  14. Ilovemygarden
    No guesses as to why you defected to lovely London then. 😰

    Indeed every day is a school day - I had no idea there was any other kind than the Scottish ones (bannocks) which I have to say I’m not a fan of. Re the Welsh cakes I like the ones sold in M and S.

    No snow in Glasgow today (yet)!
  17. Ilovemygarden
    Thanks for that - enjoy the rest of your stay.
  18. Ilovemygarden
    Thanks for that - I was thinking of doing that on my next trip. I think I’ve exhausted the town now as I’ve been so often! Have you (or anyone else) taken the tram to La Laguna? I was reading about it somewhere else but can’t remember where they said to catch the tram.
  19. Ilovemygarden
    Or even on the same plane as one 😂

    It took me two tries to get the Stockperks app happy with my application but I applied for obc for a cruise in April this morning and got confirmation it had been applied to my account in 10 minutes! I am impressed (especially with myself) as I am an ancient luddite! 😀

    Ouch - hope the dentist gets you sorted out with antibiotics and treatment. Not pleasant but effective!
  22. Ilovemygarden
    Unfortunately this time I don’t arrive until the 17th this time. I saw the parades last year though - amazing!
  23. Ilovemygarden
    Dangerous hobby!
  24. Ilovemygarden
    My sympathy re your cold - I have had the same here at home (unusual for me) and the symptoms did indeed last for a week so hopefully the end is in sight for you. Good luck with the remainder of your trip and keep posting!

    Thanks - I like the sound of that wine bar (I’ve made a note of it). I’m always a bit wary about booking tours in advance in Funchal because of the weather - if it rains, it rains 💦. I had thought about a bus out to Camara de Lobos this time. I know i visited there many years ago so maybe a trip down memory lane - or quite possibly won’t remember a thing about it! 🤔
