My name is Danielle. I am an early thirty something (VERY, VERY EARLY) and I have a passion for not only cruise but holidays in general. If I am not currently on one then I am either planning one or sitting in my garden with a strawberry daiquiri dreaming about…
Afternoon tea is one of those things that you either enjoy or find stuffy and a bit over the top. I normally fall into the second category. In June this year I was lucky enough to spend a few days on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager, which was a…
I have embarked on a charity event this month. i am going 'sober for October' to raise vital funds for Macmillan Nurses. So basically I am being sponsored to stay off the vino for 31 days. Of course it is sods law that since I signed up last month invitations…
