Mrs. Robert W and I voyaged on the Q.V., last year from Sydney to Southampton and thence to New York. In 2011, We shall voyage on the Q.E., on what appears to be a similar route. It is surprising how the weeks have elapsed - it is now 83 weeks to our embarkation in Sydney.
We. last year, voyaged on the Q.E.2, on its last traverse across the Atlantic. Our first voyaging, was with Cunard on the Q.E.2.
What is most pleasurable in voyaging, is the endless opportunities of meeting people, winning at Housie, Bingo for the uninitiated and fish waving. Another pleasure is hearing the pronunciation of many Australian towns and cities - WAGGA WAGGA - has a vast cotererie of pronunciations. I am hoping that Q.E. shall be able to screen a recent diocumentary on the formative years of New South Wales - Rogue Nation, Its coda is a delicious irony on the farwell to Captain Darling.
If we do not correspond, then perhaps we may meet, late on the 23rd February, 2011. Until then, I shall concentrate on the Third Asehs Test and await return of the Poms, to our Home, in 2010.
