Well we are now safely moored where Falcon will be staying whilst we are away.  The hire car is there ready for us to head out tomorrow.  The presents are wrapped and the bags are packed so just about ready to go.  It will be mid February before we will be back on board. After visiting Lorraine and family we are off to Plymouth for fun and festivities, then a trip to see my cousin Carole in Bristol in January as we take Richard to the airport for his flight back.  Then on 10^th January we will be in Southampton to board a really big boat.  The Queen Elizabeth as we are going on a 27 night cruise to San Francisco.  Via New York and the Panama Canal.  With various other stop offs along the way.  So it will be well into February before we will be back on board Falcon and I will be blogging here.

So until then we both wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
