Day 290 365 Days to go!

Exactly one year from today, assuming some kind of a return to normality, I shall be doing exactly as I did this very day in 2020, i.e., travelling by car to Southampton on the eve of a ‘world’ voyage, which next year, eventually reaches Australia. Right now, it’s hard to be confident this voyage will take place as advertised. Nevertheless, I do have a favourite cabin on Deck 3 reserved on board QM2. With luck, my blogs can be a little more fascinating from 10th January 2022, which is the centenary year of the first ever round-the-world cruise, although in 1922, that voyage set off from New York in November rather than January. This is an event I am looking forward with much enjoyment. Between now and then, I shall rarely leave Buxton, and when warmer, there will be much pleasure exploring more of Derbyshire’s countryside.

Thanks for reading, David, 22.44hrs 9/1/21.
