Where the no. of ingredients match the no. of days left🙂. I love food shopping. Even abroad I would rather go in a supermarket than a tat shop Me too. We're both foodies and love trying all the different foods wherever with go. We've eaten and drunk some weird and wonderful things in our Asian travels, and in some odd places too. Interestingly we've never had one stomach upset when abroad either🤔 Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if I let him choose where he would love to go it would be better. As you seem to enjoy Madeira I wondered if you could give me any ideas as to good hotels in Funchal, if that's where you stayed of course. Avril Hello Avril. If I may add our favourite Hotel in Madeira. We have stayed at The CliffBay. ( www.portobay.com) twice now, it is a fabulous hotel, next door to The Reid Palace. Various packages available too. Can also recommend excellent local restaurant 's as well. There are other hotels in group also on Madeira. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert2251 Posted May 23 #58780 Share Posted May 23 Have any of you been watching The Fortune Hotel on ITV? All I can say is FAB. If you are a fan of Traitors then this is on a par. Just finished the final episode which airs tonight but already available on ITVX. No spoilers just enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sis I like traditional food . I remember when Netto opened and my Mrs decided to give them a try . I was hoping for a good old Pukka steak pie . What did she bring back ? Beetroot and Banana pie with gherkins 😮 I asked "What did you buy that for ? " "Only 5p so I've got you two ,they didn't do steak pies "🙃 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splice the mainbrace Posted May 23 #58783 Share Posted May 23 6 hours ago, Eglesbrech said: For those who live in Southampton is congestion near to St Mary’s Stadium (Take That concert next weekend) likely to cause congestion further back up the motorway to any extent? I ask because popular shows at the SEEC or Hydro do cause congestion in Glasgow and I wondered if / how bad any traffic issues are likely to be. Thanks Thank you so much about posting about the Take That concert.👏 We were travelling down to Southampton and staying with our son the LAST weekend of June for him and my wife to go to the concert!! We don’t know how we got the dates so wrong 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Megabear2 Posted May 23 #58785 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Well that's me done and fingers crossed ready for anything the British weather and Cunard throw at me. Two suitcases now hold a huge variety along with copious posh frocks, a ballgown (just in case!) and numerous varieties of trousers, tops and sweaters. I'm pretty sure one's going to turn up with the telltale heavy sticker on it though but if that's the worst it will be fine. Just watched the last episode of The Fortune Hotel which has been a good escape for the past two weeks - i loved the Rhum Runner in episode one almost like being back in Grenada myself. Anyway that's it. I'm polished, scrubbed, waxed and softened and heading for bed. My friend is collecting me at 1.00pm for my 2.00pm boarding - there must be hundreds of high level CWC members onboard as that is with priority boarding. Weather looking decent for departure too so I'll make sure I get my sailaway cocktail in. Have a good night all and enjoy the bank holiday whatever your plans are.

kalos Posted May 24 #58791 Share Posted May 24 Good morning ,nowt like an early morning cuppa,so I think I will have two. @Purdey16 Great pictures ,that is one place I wished We had visited and hope your having a great time . @Megabear2 Have a great cruise on QA , only last night we were watching YouTube films of onboard the ship. Did you know they even do archery ? Hope you get to try it but I prefer "Blindfolded Archery " much better and you should try it as you don't know what you are missing 🙃 Hope everyone has a nice bank holiday unless your online banking cos that's still working 😉 Take care . 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted May 24 #58793 Share Posted May 24 Good morning, A dull overcast day here. I came home from bowling last night on a high having managed to beat a lady who plays in the county team on a green that I was dreading because I usually struggle there. When I looked at my phone my younger sister had sent a text to say that she and her husband were at UHNM with my other sister and she had had one scan that had shown a bleed in her brain and they were planning a deeper scan for today. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted May 24 #58795 Share Posted May 24 @Purdey16 lovely photos. I remember our first trip to Japan, it was a fascinating country. The day that we spent in Nagasaki was particularly moving, seeing the damage done by the nuclear bomb really bought home the dreadful effects of war. We were told by the guide that all Japanese school children have to visit either Nagasaki or Hiroshima as part of the national curriculum. Enjoy your cruise. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
