We also tried Celebrity Cruises last year and loved it, especially the indoor pool. However it seems most companies are trying to pack in younger, party animals....which we definitely are not. What we love most about Cunard is the plentiful seating around the lovely ballrooms and quiet bars for relaxing, again with comfy chairs a plenty. I hope they don't change to compete.
I've come across 5 or 6 people on UA-cam unboxing Dalsford with mixed reviews you also always are upfront about what your doing that's what I love about your channel your direct honesty ❤
Well Caroline what a revelation! I got a new phone about 3 weeks ago and was so happy to use the plug on both phone and iPad. Didn’t even consider my kindle so I’m now over the moon lol. It’s the small things that make me happy 😂. Love the candle it looks really beautiful but I’m as bad buying candles as I am with books and you know how that’s going xx
You can change your TV settings to change the length of time until it goes into standby, or stop it doing it altogether - I've done this so my dog has it on until I get home.
Love hearing your weather comments! And "Incandescent with rage" has described me down to the ground these last three or four weeks. My youngest daughter is moving house and although the one they're buying has no one living in it, the owner has only just started getting all the furniture out. My daughter had two completion days refused. Others involved in the chain have been ready and waiting for a month! It does look like they'll move this weekend though, thank goodness. And breathe...go away, rage!!!
Caroline the rant about the blood pressure tabs was not lost on me that’s obviously why you need them ! How nice to be joining your friends on your cruise you lucky lady ! I’ve been on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship a few years ago which I absolutely loved x
I work in a GP surgery and most of our patients are on something called repeat dispensing so you don’t have to order from the surgery for a year - you just collect from the pharmacy when they’re due. You will have a review each year and then the process starts again
My mum's surgery do that, they insisted she swap from Systmonline ordering her own repeats to this repeat dispensing thing. So far, over the last two years, they have got her prescription correct once ...!!
@@CarolineMrsM oh dear. That’s quite ridiculous cause you can’t really get it wrong. We literally just press a couple of buttons in the patient record and it sets up for a year. Can’t believe they can get it so wrong 🤔
Hi Caroline. Glad you are back and had a good holiday. Re the Magnolia, I have a pale pink one, and it does the second bloom every year. First one many flowers, second one varies from a few to hardly any. So yours is typical. The lunch looked good. Thank you for the filming and content. Look forward to the Day in the Life of etc.
I received my organic box yesterday and yes I was disappointed but in no way hold you accountable. You win some you loose some, it didn't bother me that I had to wait and I can understand how they were unable to meet orders on this occasion. I think for 7 items two of which were small packs of blueberries it is not good value but it was my choice to order and one which I will not repeat. If I had paid £20 I would have been more than happy especially as the three items were chicken, but at least they were happy chickens and lived a nice organic life. I think they should say that each box will contain a minimum of so many items and if you get a more deserts or more chicken you would not be surprised. But Caroline put it down to experience as I know you felt you were doing us a favour and in no way do you need to apologise. On a positive note love your channel so keep up the good work and I hope all the horrid world problems do not get you down. Have a great week 😊
Hi Caroline, we were on a different cruise line last November, and one of the pleasures was the passenger laundry. I know, cruisers usually rave about the food entertainment etc but I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of use, cost and excellent quality of their machines. Didn't even need to iron, boards and irons for free in laundry room. 😁🇦🇺
The weather! We all talk about it. Mother Nature controlling us. LOL I've become an avid weather watcher and am fascinated by clouds. I love all your videos Caroline.❤
I've had there boxes for a long time . Loads of things like you had . I've always.been really pleased . My last box after yours . I was really disappointed . Had hardly anything . I did message them . X x
Always like your vlogs Caroline. Not commenting on your content just want to say how green suits you. I didn't wear that colour for years because my superstitious mum told me green was the colour of availability and I didn't want to send out the wrong vibes. 😂😂 P.s. Red looks lovely too.
I live on the east coast side of America and i talk about the weather all of the time as a conversation starter. I look at the weather in my area every morning on a weather app. I like to know what the weather is going to be to know what to wear or whether to go out or not. I think a lot of people, esp.our generation and older talk about the weather. More so than younger folks.
Hi Caroline, I received my Daylesford box. It wasnt the best but I did get a shoulder of lamb! Thank you for sharing and Im sorry you received some moans. Your intentions were to be kind and share the love so to speak! Keep up the good work X
I ordered from Dalesford and was told they didn’t have any boxes left that week but I could order for the following week, i did that and was very happy with what I received, they kept me informed throughout, I will order from them again, from me it’s a hit 😊
I have Sky Glass and a warning comes on the screen that it’s going to go off. But you only get seconds to find the remote to stop it. Mine is usually buried in my throw or under a cat. It always happens at the most exciting part of a programme.
@@shirleydunn8050 my partner was a tv engineer and said there should be a setting you can change to stop this happening. Or at least change it to stay on a lot longer. 😊
@@julieturney2188 Julie thank you SO much for replying! I went on settings on my TV and managed to switch it off . Please thank your partner- I can’t believe I’ve got annoyed over this for the last 18 months. My big grumpy tom cat will also be thankful. 😹
That last quote is so apt. I live in my ideal place in Scotland and my flat overlooks the River Clyde. However it does rain quite a lot. We’ve had very little summer, but I love being here.
Makes sense about the Daylesford box as it’s made up with whatever happens to be going out of date so this would vary considerably. Your idea of only having a certain number available would make sense.
Hi Caroline this one of silent followers here! I was wondering wjrn your vlog will be up for the cruise you have just taken.am planning my first cruise soon.but baffled which one and where too.? So looking forward to hear about the celebrity!! Love all your❤ adventures. ❤❤
Hi Bev, I didn’t film very much but if it’s worth putting a video together when I look at the footage, it will be up hopefully before the end of the month x
I too ordered a daylesford box. I do not think in the slightest that there was any collaboration - you would have said if there was as you always do. They phoned me to say they had an upscale in orders and could they deliver the next week. I said yes and we agreed a date. They phoned me about 3 days early to ask if I wanted the delivery brought forward and I said yes. (Dfd delivered to another address in my street and they were awful to deal with - didn’t get the parcel till the next day when the recipients were randomly knocking doors to ask if they were looking for a parcel ! But that is no reflection on daylesford. ). Luckily the parcel was well wrapped and insulated and the foods inside were in good date and I was able to use everything I agree that it wasn’t a huge difference on the costs, but the food was absolutely lovely and I understand that it was a recycle of foods that were due to go out of date/ overstocking/ not selling etc so I expected that it would be random and due to the ‘upscale’ it would not be as amazing as your was. But I was happy with that and very happy with the quality of the food. I would definitely use it again - I love the surprise of ‘what’s in the box’ so it’s a win from me 😊
I think it is a living on an ‘island’ thing talking about the weather. We have a place in Kefalonia, and the locals are equally obsessed with talking about the weather! One of our tv’s randomly came on in the night! We could hear voices downstairs, and when my husband bravely went down to confront whoever it was, he found an old episode of ‘Heartbeat’ playing on the tv! Really put the wind up us!😂
I had exactly the same problem at my pharmacy recently but the pharmacist offered to contact the surgery and get a separate prescription for one of them for me (village pharmacy) what a star
Caroline the Dalsford implement looks OK but too costly for me. In fact I’d need a miracle to improve my lines That ship sailed long ago. Maybe a scaffolding company could help me out. Or if there was a second coming and I got first in the queue for a miracle to be performed that might work 😂😂
Very much enjoyed the vlog - as ever - thank you. Hilarious that your words of wisdom at the end also included the weather! I do so hope that the interim day in the life vlogs will also contain an element of weather! 😂😂 Have a great week from a fellow lover of Incandescent with Rage phrase user! 😊 x
I love the words that you do at the end of the weekly Vlog, my friend was going through a traumatic time and I sent her one of the quotes and she was so heartened by it., I like the idea of the face thing, but unfortunately out of my price range, thanks again for another vlog.
Great video Caroline, but…..where I live in sunny Scotland it’s been freezing and wet all through the summer with occasional sunshine….its wet today …13.8.24.
I live in Oregon and have the identical magnolia as you; mine also is just finishing up a very lackluster second bloom. According to Google, this is a somewhat common occurrence - also that the second bloom is sparse.
Oh that TV auto stand by thing drives me nuts, I was watching the Olympics but was also cleaning the kitchen at the same time, so flitting in and out of the lounge and then it all went quiet😡. I did go into the settings mode on the remote but was too scared to change anything in case I messed it up 😂😂. Where's a teenager when you need one 😂😂.
She doesn't actually watch TV, but when I go out she goes into her basket in the kitchen and I just slip out the front door. The TV is just for the sound. Don't know if she's bothered but I got into the habit of doing it when I first got her as if she might just think I'm in the house somewhere.
We’ll be on the QM2 from Southampton-NY-Caribbean-NY-Southampton over Christmas & New Year. Looks like you’re on the final leg of our cruise. Will say a quick hello if we see you 🙋♀️🛳️
Caroline, what top do you have on? Im looking for a couple of linen tops. Yours looks like it could be linen. Love your videos, its like sitting and chatting with a friend.
Hi Caroline first of all I love ur hair colour is beautiful I'm glad you enjoyed the cruise. I'm looking forward to you telling us about ur hrt I'm wondering did you have the same symptoms as me Th k you for sharing.❤
Unbelievable about your prescription issues - you would think the pharmacy staff would all know the rules about the items / payments wouldn’t you !! Only benefit of now being over 60 is that I get all my prescription items for free ( after paying a fortune for them for many years for my 5 items!) I’ve had a few pairs of various Pavers sandals and usually find them comfortable for my wide feet! X

Thank you so much!
You can change your TV settings to change the length of time until it goes into standby, or stop it doing it altogether - I've done this so my dog has it on until I get home.
Dying to know if he/she has a fave TV programme? Crufts, maybe? 🤣🤣
I enjoy your weather chats as I’m the same, it’s just human nature to talk about it I think especially in the UK! X

I agree with instruction’s I have to go outside with my readers to actually read them Lol ❤️
Caroline, I'm almost 68. I've never ever been for a facial. I wouldn't know where to start to book one.
Great video thanks. Ohhh that sounds good a vlog video I love those . Red really suits you the red shirt you had on was lovely. See you next week 😊

Ugh blueberries - the most overrated berry ever in my opinion!
Well said.... I totally agree 😊
Talking about cool weather is something I love. Here in South Carolina, we are in the 90s usually.
You cruised the beautiful views!! ❤☺️
My magnolia, here in Falmouth, does the same thing - a second mini flourish in August.

Thank you, Kim - we are in short supply of it here in Devon this morning, so that's much needed!

Please talk about the weather. Love to know what the weather is around the world.

Hi. Just lice Parfois. I always used to buy something when j visited their shops. Unfortunately I don't go abroad anymore so mis it tremendously

Relate so much on the chargers😂
