Back Home Again

Boarding at Southampton


We've had such a fantastic time, it's not true. Visited seven countries.

Meeting up with my daughter's  friend.
The other side of the world, we got chatting to one of the sales assistants in the Shopping  Emporium only to discover that before she landed this plum job, she worked for the same company as my daughter and was also one of her  friends as well. Small world.



One of my favourite stops was Tallin in Estonia - cobbled streets and market stalls - I loved it.


D'you like my slippers?  They are soooo comfortable.


Little cobbled streets, nooks and crannies. Would have loved to have spent more time here.

  6. Oh my, Molly, what a fabulous vacation that must have been. It sounds like a dream cruise where you got to see things you have only read about, and then, there you are walking along the streets of a foreign land.

    You should plan more of these adventures.
