So, this is it! The end! I felt quite nostalgic last night roaming the almost deserted public areas and decks of Queen Elizabeth on the eve of disembarkation. It was difficult to get off to sleep, but a shower and hot toddy did the trick. I enjoyed one final breakfast in the Lido this morning. Looking from its floor-to- ceiling windows, thunderous clouds shroud the low hills and industrial plants as far as the eye can see.
But, I look back with continued amazement of where I have been since May 31st (Day 1)I am curious to see home once again. Floods in nearby Whaley Bridge hit the world’s media, as almost a whole town was evacuated as the close-by dam threatened to give up the ghost.
There was much other alarming stuff in the news, and plenty of Trump and Brexitism.
To those who followed my Blog throughout, congratulations, there can’t be many of you! But to all those who read bits of it, also many thanks. And, apologies for any inadequacies or unnecessary ramblings, bad spelling, inadvertent offence etc etc. Comments are always welcome and in most, if not all cases, answered.
With all good wishes,
David.
