Art Classes

I popped along to art class this morning, mainly to sit amongst friends in a comfy chair.  I knew that I had three more scenes to complete if I was to gift watercolours to those who deserved them.  It was an enjoyable experience and I am now sat in Anderson's bar (drink free I hasten to add) ready to hand over the piece that is shown in the attached photograph.  It is almost A3 size, and I'm pleased with the outcome.  Art onboard the Aurora has been very therapeutic.  In many ways it has been my highlight of the holiday.   


Fine Dining

It was a Marco Menu again last night for the Gala Dinner and I really enjoyed the first two courses and the champagne sorbet, but alas the vegetables with the beef Wellington were a bit bland. Anyhow I soldiered on and completed all six courses including indulging in a glass of port with my cheeseboard.  The theatre show featured Roger Wright from the West End, and was probably one of the best shows that I have seen while afloat.  Better still we had also attended the classical concert pre-dining, so for us it was a truly entertaining night.  We retired at 1 a.m. this morning and with the gentle rocking we were soon fast asleep
