Diary w/e 5 Oct 19

Sun 29 Sep

Ealing Half Marathon led to roads closed and no morning service.Sinclair Ferguson preached afternoon and evening with church tea between.

Mon 30 Sep

Packing for our cruise.Resigned from Harmonsworh preaching after 8nyears as I am due to renew my security clearance, I have not been fit and numbers have been low.

Tue 1 Oct
Good journey to Southampton and quick boarding.Sailed 5pm. First five course dinner on board. Good sea view cabin.

Wed 2 Oct and hu 3rd
A sea. The Bay of Biscay was choppy and ship movement felt.But wind only force 2.  Enjoyed a classical duo of cello and piano and also lectures on Bletchley Park and The Battle of the Atlanic. 315 miles from Southampton.

Th 3 Oct
820 miles from home. Out along the Portuguese coast was smooth.

Fri 4 Oct
904 miles from home.Docked in Cadiz past Cale Trafalgar and a coach to Herez. Maps and road signage were not helpful. Eventually we found the Tio Pepe bodegas and learned about sherry and brandy production but we had to rush away to our coach and missed he sherry tastting and atlpas we had paid for. The bodegas our was far more expensive than an disillery or brewery visited before.

Sat 5 Oct
A sea 262 miles from Cadiz.. Enjoyed seeing England thrash the Argies in he Worlds Cup. Still no news of Leeds games.
