Well what a weekend,  I cannot believe what the weather has been like over the past few days, and I was fortunate enough to be down in Bournemouth celebrating a friend’s 40th this weekend.  Things always look and feel different when the sun is shining, Bournemouth beach was packed on Saturday and Sunday, must admit it felt strange watching people sunbath in October in the UK.  This got me onto thinking how lucky we are living in the UK, as we are never too far from either the beach, beautiful countryside or the City, and taking a British Isle Cruise would be a perfect way to see some lovely parts of the UK, you never know you might uncover a few surprises en route.  Every stop along the way offers something a little different – you can experience Irish hospitality in Dublin, Belfast or Cork, explore the beautiful Scottish Highlands or discover the beaches and charm of Guernsey’s capital, St Peter Port.  Fred Olsen Cruise Lines and P&O offer some lovely itineraries for next year, departing between June through to September, I certainly think this is worth considering!  Following on from the success of our garden themed cruise around the British Isles this year we have arranged another one for May 2012.  The cruise departs on the 22 May 2012 for 9 nights aboard the Braemar with Tony Russell.  We have included a Free Garden Tour, Private drinks party, Exclusive talks, £100 per cabin onboard spend and feee car parking.  Prices start at just £879.00 per person.  So if your a keen gardener and  love cruising then this will suit you!
