Our last day of the cruise. The disembarkation instructions have been delivered to our cabins, along with the envelopes in which to place our tips! We're currently sailing through the Bay of Biscay, with rain lashing the windows and the ship's fog horn occasionally blasting through the gloom. The seas aren't too bad, though yesterday as we sailed up past Portugal we had enormous swells which some found uncomfortable.

Harold and I attended our final painting class yesterday afternoon. We painted a view of a beach with some fishing boats moored on the shingle. And this morning we've been to the display of some of the paintings that all the class have produced over the last couple of weeks. It was quite interesting to see everyone's work. Dave had difficulty picking out my three paintings from those displayed, until he realised that they all had masked edges which had 'bled'. Here's a photo of some of the display, with two of mine marked with red spots (not 'Sold' stickers, merely digitally added markers to show you which are mine!).

I keep nagging Julie to blog about her 'Pinafore' experience, but to no avail so far. Maybe this afternoon she'll get round to it!

All for now
