The water butts are full to the brim, the lawns are drowning, and even the pond is overflowing, but strangely enough we still have a hosepipe ban in place🥴 Avril 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twotravellersLondon Posted November 23, 2022 #40231 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Very wet, windy and cold here also but went to the Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market yesterday... and discovered that inside the Cathedral there was a rehearsal for last night's concert... really glorious... that really did put us in the right frame of mind for Christmas! After what we've all collectively and personally come through... sometimes it's good to feel like the luckiest people on earth and just want to share a feeling of joy with everyone! 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to love visiting Winchester cathedral if we stay there overnight before our festive cruises . It is truly a amazing building . We did a cruise to Rouen and as we wandered around on a very cold day ,we went into their Cathedral and as we walked around a corner into one of their wings a choir started to sing "Oh Holy Night " We just stood in amazement, spellbound by the beauty of it all . We must have caught the choristers eye as he just gave us a welcoming smile and beckoned us to come into the area closer . A truly magical moment ,we will never forget. As you say they are wonderful places to visit this time of year . Take care everyone 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennizor Posted November 23, 2022 #40237 Share Posted November 23, 2022 It was raining heavily here in Bolton until half an hour ago. We have now got some blue sky but not expecting it to last more than a couple of hours as more rain forecasted for later. Next dry day is forecast for Friday which I hope is accurate as I am going into Manchester to meet former works colleagues for our pre-Christmas lunch. 12 years on and we still enjoy our get together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted November 23, 2022 #40241 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Monring all, Been up to Truro first thing as my daughter had a dr's appointment just after 8am and gave my son a lift to work at the same time, as he works at the pharmacy attached to the practice. Coming home drove through torrential rain for few minutes then got blinded by the sun! It's another of those days, rain then sun then rain etc. The wind has also just picked up again in the last few minutes, at least I'm home now and where I will remain for the rest of the day. Planning on making some mince pies later, but need to sort the freezer out first. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted November 23, 2022 #40245 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Baggage handlers are coming to get one of my cases today (I can't deal with them) and I'm trying to lighten the load for OH. I offered to add his main case but he was stubborn and wanted to lug it about himself. (Men!) The dreaded dress code thread rages on C*n**d site but I have never ever felt underdressed and I don't wear dresses or stunning ball gowns, although I admire those that do . I do floaty tops etc and extra makeup and bling. All the arguing on there could put new cruisers right off. I'm here till Sunday/early Monday, but hope you will behave while I'm way or is that a lot to ask! Have fun 🙃 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted November 23, 2022 #40247 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The weather has changed it's mind here, we now have beautiful blue sky and no sign of clouds. I wasn't bothered about the rain because I am waiting for a parcel to be delivered so I have managed to finish making the last of my Christmas cards. Have a good day everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's brilliant info... need to replace two outside lights and was wondering how much they would cost to run... you've just answered the question!

lincslady Posted November 23, 2022 #40250 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The worst thing about winter rain followed by blinding sun is when the sun is so low in the sky, driving is horrendous with the rain making the road surface blinding! Got that lovely blue sky here now too - maybe not for long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
