OT I had Christmas Dinner at the Captains table
After a very much its on , its off, two weeks. We did get to go one
David's ship. We went in the afternoon of Christmas Eve. We were given a cabin each so neither of us would have to climb on the top bunk. They did not want us to fall out. Christmas Eve is the time the Polish crew celebrate their Christmas. I had my hand shook and kissed a great many times. We all sat around the table and we enjoyed a buffet meal. The beer and wine flowed freely and in my case after the first glass of wine fruit favoured water. After breakfast on Christmas Day we took a turn around the deck. It was bitterly cold so we watched TV and read our books. It seemed strange not to be dashing around in the kitchen. Chris our son who is on the sister ship was in Holland with his family onboard. He rang me up and they were having a good time. I rang my neighbour and wished them Merry Christmas. Apparently it had snowed and more was spreading across the country. We had Christmas dinner at the captains table and it was very nice with crackers being pulled and party hats worn. The drink again flowed freely. But not for us. However in view of the snow, David thought that we should leave after lunch and not stay a second night. He worried about us driving through snow. In actual fact he followed us home in his Land Rover. He stayed the night in his house and is going back to the ship this afternoon. I am cooking a special lunch for us before he goes. It is very frosty this morning and the roads have not been gritted. I wanted to go to an antique fair. The sky looks heavy with snow so DH wants me to stay at home. It was a lovely experience and I am glad we went. Shirley -- Shirley Shone |

Shirley, it sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas.
Will you get to see Chris at all this holidays too? or will his ship be over in Holland for a while?

No I will not see Chris at all. His ship comes back on Tuesday morning
and sails again at night. He will be in Holland again for New Year and I think his family will be with him. We never get to see Chris on his ship because his wife has priority. If she goes we cannot.

I suppose they can't have everyone in everyone's family coming aboard at holidays or the boat would sink! Its great that you got to speak to him though and hope you all get to hook up on dry land sometime soon. Emma |

I thought of you too. With not rushing around cooking up a feast I had
plenty of time to sit and think of my RCB friends. In fact I was get withdrawal symptoms because I could not get on the computer. First thing I did when I got home was to go upstairs and log on.
