Evening all! We are in our hotel in Southampton prior to heading off on the Queen Mary 2 tomorrow, the weather is gorgeous as it was at home for the last few days. We had a lovely few days in Cork, although there were issues with the birthday meal on Thursday night, which resulted in two meals and two bottles of wine being taken off the bill, plus a deduction of money also. Sadly one of the unsatisfactory meals was mine
Miss Osc dealt with it all, the service was very poor. Otherwise the hotel was lovely, beautiful grounds, the men and Michael enjoyed their golf. It was lovely to see my nieces and their children, and I think they all enjoyed the family time, which was what I wanted. It was so nice to see Kellie getting on with her Cork cousins Matt and Jonathan, they are similar ages and poor Michael was very much the “grown up” of the cousins although he was good with them. I have not been sleeping well for the last 10 days or so, including while we were away, so I was absolutely exhausted after the drive home yesterday evening. Thankfully I slept a bit better last night, although I am still tired. Mind you, there is nothing I have to do over the next few days apart from boarding the ship!
