A Bacon Sandwich and walk alongside the River Thames

The sun was shining and what better can you do but head down to the bridge at Walton on Thames and go to GINO's Cafe for an excellent Bacon and egg sarnie.

A view along the river towards Walton Bridge
Satisfied after bacon sandwich
This was followed by a walk along the river until Noel needed a rest due still having problems with knees, chemotherapy has made my knees worse unfortunately, however we fight on and hope they will improve but I have stepped my walking activity quite a bit in the last month so as to be able to get the best out of the forthcoming Cruise. Also this will help later in the month when we take to family to a surprise weekend.
The afternoon was spent relaxing and watching qualifying for the Belgium F1 GP.

Lets hope the weather stay like this.

Well we are planning a cruise

Well dear readers, we have decided to book a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords leaving from Newcastle on September the 8th for a nine night trip on the good ship MV Balmoral
 which is run by Fred Olsen Lines.

So we have to drive up to Newcastle on September 7th (which will be very exciting) and stay overnight in a hotel before going to board the ship at between 12.00 and 15.00 hrs. So we are both looking forward to this trip with the route and ship information see below.



I will do a BLOG everyday but it may not be able to post it for a while as Wi-Fi on board ship is always slow and and very, very expensive and best to be avoided. At ports of call it may be possible but will not know until we get there.
So watch this space.
