I can’t believe that it has been so long since I last wrote on my blog…

by Louise | December 3, 2021 | Travel | 6 Comments

“Are you ready to see the world in widescreen?” These are the words, that P&O Cruises use when describing their newest and most innovative ship “Iona”. And after having spent 14 days on Iona, I can honestly say, that she most certainly is designed to invite the outdoors in. What makes her stand out are places like the stunning SkyDome, the three-tier glass Grand Atrium and the brand-new Conservatory Mini-suite cabins, where we stayed!

I think most of you know, that I love my mother very, very much! I don’t think, I have met a person with a more beautiful soul ever! When my mum comes to visit from Denmark, we always make sure to have fun and lovely things planned in advance. Sometimes we go to the theatre, other times we go shopping or to the many great markets around in London – and other times we go out for a lovely meal having a real cosy mother/daughter time!

Do you know that feeling? The feeling of always being busy and not really present! I certainly do – and it doesn’t get better living in a very big city, where you are surrounded by many people everywhere you go! Being pregnant has taught me a few things. First of all how important it is to “listen to my body” And lately my body has been telling me to stop and take it easy – especially now, where I am 25 weeks pregnant!

It is not easy being pregnant and a lover of food! Living in London there are simply too many tempting places to be “eating for two!” So from time to time, it is necessary to go for more healthy choices – and that is what Frenchie and I did last Sunday!
