June has brought us on another cruise!

This time we took the Eavesway Cruise Link to Southampton to board Fred. Olsen's Borealis for 14 nights heading to the Baltic. Can say it was a long journey but the driver's were so helpful it made it an easy way to get to Southampton (but the 5.45am start was a little early)!

Arrived in Southampton and quick and easy embarkation. As we were later arriving the buffet was closing so quickly grabbed some delicious salad which we ate by the pool. The luggage had arrived in the cabin when we went back so it was time to unpack. Dinner was delicious and we celebrated Anne's birthday too. I finished unpacking while everyone else enjoyed the show. We even managed to do the quiz (but not very successfully)! We then retired to bed as everyone was shattered after all of the travelling - and we had to advance our clocks by 1 hour too!

Today has been a relaxing day at sea as we sail towards Copenhagen. Mum enjoyed Friday's fish and chips and I had my first burger - it was delicious.

After lunch it was brilliant to enjoy sitting out on the back deck - until the dark clouds arrived. Time for a short nap before it was time to get ready for dinner. A few photos of the Captain’s Welcome Onboard cocktails party and dinner. So happy to see our waiter had been promoted (he loves taking selfies). Everyone is enjoying the show and I am chilling before putting my brain into gear for the next quiz.

Enjoying making more memories with mum and wonderful friends.

I am absolutely thrilled (and amazed) that I have been nominated for an award at Travel Weekly's Agent Achievement Awards 2026 for Northern England - Small Agency. What an honour. I really am in shock when I see the list of other agencies that I am nominated against.

It's nearly time for the final of BBC1's Race Across The World. Sadly it is the final tonight - the show has gone too quickly! Who is going to win? I have loved this series and lots of the places are on my bucket list - Mongolia looks amazing but I don't think I am quite ready for the accommodation there!

Time for episode 4 tonight at 8pm on Channel 4 of Cruising To The Ends Of The Earth and tonight Royal Princess docks in Ketchikan, Alaska. Think it may have changed a bit from when I was there in 1990!

As we had an overnight stay in Ponta Delgada and we had arrived on a Sunday we just went for a wander around the town. Such a pretty place. Just wish the weather had been better but we did avoid the rain!

Tonight at 8pm on Channel 5 a new series starts - Angela Rippon's River Cruises.

In the first episode Angela sails on The Danube and takes in stunning Budapest and Vienna. We love the cafe culture - sure she will too before she learnt the Vienese Waltz. Enjoy...

One of our meals in the new Colours and Taste Restaurant onboard Bolette. I personally miss the old decor of it as now it is a sea of beige but the food was outstanding. I forgot to take a copy of the menu - it was the Italian menu and if you visit I highly recommend the tiramisu as it was amazing.

Praia da Vitoria in The Azores was our first port of call. The Azores archipelago is a melting pot of Portuguese influences.

I had arranged for a driver to collect us and as we had visited this beautiful island previously we decided to explore Abgra do Heroismo in depth. This historically important city was a former capital of Portugal. The Gothic inspired 16th century Church of Se is stunning. We did of course have to sample some local cakes and coffee before returning back to the ship!

Time to catch up with our recent cruise - we got home yesterday from our 14 nights on Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines Bolette which sailed from Liverpool for 14 nights to The Azores, Madeira and Lisbon. Sadly we did not have the best weather but we managed to swerve the rain!

Three sea days before we arrived in the Azores so we had lots of time to relax and do as many (or as lityle) of the activities offered onboard as we wanted to. We did attend a couple of the cookery classes and one of the new events onboard. Just a few photos here before we arrive in our first port of call...
