  1. See what you mean I didn’t scroll down. To do that amount of damage would take a lot of speed, I wonder what his load was.
  2. Crystal dinning usually opens about 7p.m. Sit wherever you like you don’t have to get stuck with anyone you’re not keen on. If you’re not keen on your table mates just have a quiet word with your waiter or restaurant manager. The staff are there to ensure you have a fantastic holiday. You’ll really enjoy yourselves.
  3. Oops! Looks like the barge was supposed to be entering the lock but certainly not at that speed.
  4. Goose cooks a little like duck and tends to be fatty like duck so if you roast it do it on an open wire trivet so the fat drains into a container beneath, it tastes and eaten just fine not strong or stringy. I’ve only done it once when as a family we attempted an old fashioned Christmas. Really a lot of fun but I don’t think we’ll be doing it again.
  5. The guy controlling the multiple horses wow but that little donkey is something very special, he’s (she’s) had to work so hard, but I have a soft spot for donks.
  6. Packet pastry is one of the best inventions ever, saves so much phaphing about.
  7. Now watching The Lord Mayors Parade in London one of the features was a Swiss Alphorn. If you can get the beeb it’s well worth a watch.
  8. On Scenic it would not be a waste of money as apart from Aquarium cabins all have balconies. It’s horses for courses personally I enjoy my balcony if you don’t then it’s your choice. Put your feet up with a glass of excellent wine and a good book nothing better in this world, DH can do what he wants, it’s just occasionally a joy to relaxe.
  9. Thank you Jazz I got so enthralled with watching them being made I forgot the recipe.
  10. Must have a go at that recipe. Thank you.
  11. Don’t forget the Hindu festival of Diwali next week.
  12. Look for Bridgewater Carnival 2023 it was on 4th November then on to various other towns in the West Country - floodlit and absolutely fantastic, so many people have never heard of it, if you see it, it will knock your socks off absolutely brilliant.
  13. Even better but it does cost a few pennies more have your baggage couriered we did for the first time this year, ohh what bliss.
  14. Hey at twenty if you decide to do it you can. To curl up anywhere with a good book is bliss!
  15. At least it doesn’t add up to Triple six only double.
  16. At my age now I completely agree with your mother. In the past I’ve negotiated huge airports including those two on my own but definitely not now.
  17. Vikings North American payment terms don’t wash in Europe due to our R & R/s nothing to do with filling a vessel or not. It does seem to work overall it’s a suck it and see situation if you don’t like it go with another company.
  18. Good one never heard it called the basement room, aquarium class or swans view yes. Any other expressions to add to the list?
  19. Been there done that Kristal just shows you’re enjoying yourself. It’s a drippy day here today and we’re off to our friends wake so reading everyone’s holiday antics is just what I need.
  20. The protected geographical origin is a really good idea but there is no way you could now introduce it for say Chedder Cheese. 🤔
  21. It’s heartening that companies are still investing in the river cruise business they’ve had a hard time overall the last couple of years and then the low water levels this year at least some have still got the gumption to invest fingers crossed it proves profitable for them and not to over the top for us users.
  22. Interesting it’s not built in Portugal, I wonder where it will be fitted out? Could be interest following its route to the Douro.
  23. There back on page one of this thread Franski happy baking.
