Venturans reunited
Today we set off in the pouring rain to go to Brockenhurst to meet up with our 8 friends from the Ventura Maiden cruise.
We are due to meet up at Mottisfont a very pleasant National Trust property just outside Salisbury. It is a lovely mellow stone house with beautiful rose gardens. When we arrive it is so busy we are directed to the …
Four weeks
Just four weeks to go and I just want to be settled on board with the real world, and Christmas , left behind. I still need to order money and am checking the exchange rates daily its still going up so hang on. If it starts to go down then I buy before it looses any more. The money is delivered to the ship so don't have to carry it. The exchange rate is pretty good also. Found ...
What can I give this Christmas?
... the support of so many people for whom the first question this Christmas is not "what do I want?" but "what can I give?".
From the 10th Dec we'll be posting regularly on here with pics and video and blogs to keep you updated on where we are giving out the shoeboxes and bringing you some of the stories of the individuals who will receive them. We hope you'll join us; you never know, you might even spot your shoebox!

The last day
... was something going on above the hotel. A sprint out the way and a look up revealed two guys hanging off the roof on the guttering breaking off ice, big chunks of which were crashing down! Just check the photos out! So the final hour's before leaving for the airport was an opportunity to do a bit of shopping for some presents and things to bring home. Followed by a lunch with a last vodka (umm..nice) and back to the hotel to get ...
Eye to eye with a bald eagle
Early start - bitterly cold! Duvet coat sheepskin boots and gloves. It was just a short drive from the campsite to the Hawk Conservancy.
Just look at the pictures and you'll see the fun. Lots of other birds - hawks and owls and vultures, but these are the highlights.
A long day - walking miles it seemed, kilos of day old chicks. And a bitterly cold half hour watching the professionals ...

“ A lovely place to stay. ”
Reviewed Dec 23, 1935
We stayed here with a group of friends and the welcome we received and the attention to detail from the lovely owner and her staff was the best we have ever had as a group. Everyone knew who we were, who was stopping when and how many were in for dinner etc.
The hotel is spotless and the food excellent and plentiful. We had a smaller room on the top floor lovely views with a very small shower room but adequate for the purpose. Others in our group had larger first floor rooms with a bath.
The other residents were elderly but do not let the fact that these folk know a good thing and return year after year put you off!
