Birthday

As of today we now only have one teenager left in the house as our first born turns 20 today - how did that happen …. The years just fly by don’t they 😳
Happy Birthday to Zack who we love millions and beyond and are so proud of the lovely young man he has grown to be ❤️

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be invited aboard the fabulous Iona Cruise Ship by P&O to have a look around before it set sail to The Norwegian Fjords (was very jealous not to be staying on board I have to tell you).
What a beautiful ship with so much to do, see, eat and drink whilst you are on board. Add to that some fabulous 2023 and 2024 itineraries and you have yourself an amazing memory making holiday
If you would like details on any of the P&O ships or their upcoming sailings, please don’t hesitate to contact me - you won’t regret it
I hope you enjoy the short clip of my visit on board Iona …. She’s a beauty 🚢
