I am up, dressed and ready to be transported to Southampton. My hearts not yet in the right place for all this...I am solemnly promising myself that it’s going to be the last time...to be doing this at Christmas. There was a good reason just after David died...getting away from this house was a very good idea...but it’s different now obviously...
Cunard have changed their timings for this one. We are asked to be there much later than usual...presumably to allow the pre Christmas cruisers to get well clear. But I’m still up and ready to go. I think I’ve posted all my cards...apologies to anyone I’ve forgotten...
On other trips during the festive season they have kept the children on board well away from the adults...which suits most of us I suppose...but around the decks can be found streams of children tracking Santa with a lot of noise and laughter.
My bags stand ready in the hall, suitably labelled...I think I’ve remembered everything. But my heart is not in it...yet. I have been considering not doing this next year...my emotions are not raw as they were after my husband died...I could just stay at home quietly but somehow that doesn’t seem right either...we shall see...at my age I have to consider the possibility that I might not be here either..
So on that cheerful note I must stop....see you all on the other side!
Other side of what I leave to your imaginations!
