Spain, Santander then on into Northern Portugal.Hoping for a smoother crossing the last time I came back I spent all the time in my bunk, from Santander harbour until we got into the English Channel.

They used to run "there and back" trips to Santander, sleeping on the ship, with about a day to explore the town. Also had a few trips to Roscoff as well.
It's very easy to make fudge in your own kitchen. Not a messy job and much cheaper than buying it. Downside is, it's so delicious, you'll scoff it up in no time and then feel guilty and full of self loathing. You just can't win!

Seville is lovely but either early or late in the year, it can get very hot ( & not only this year) My favourite part is the North, along the Bay of Biscay & Atlantic coast.Enjoy Corfu, never been there but looks lovely.I am packing the hols. in while I can still travel.Booked that trip to Japan but in a years time!
Here ’up North’ we used to the overnight from Hull into Zeebrugge & spend the day in Bruges or Ghent.They stopped running that route so now it is only to Rotterdam, love that too.

I remember making fudge at cookery class in school.
Yes, it's popular with kids. The 'easy fudge' recipe doesn't need a sugar thermometer. Condensed milk is the secret. Good to make on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

I remember making fudge in the girl guides, it didn't end well, never set. Made terrible coconut ice too, even the birds turned their beaks up to it! Never been keen on fudge, far too sweet for me
The old lady up the road used to make" fudge" that she used to bag up and sell at the church fete. To me it wasn't fudge, it was sort of crystallised like Kendal mint cake. Even though it had had a somewhat burnt taste and made your teeth itch it just about edible in small measures. Being a typical kid I said it as I saw it "That's not fudge" and she got quite defensive and insisted that it was, despite my saying that fudge is supposed to be chewy. I've not seen anything like it since. Has anyone else had anything like this before? It was dark brown and grainy like sugar and definitely not what I'd have classed as fudge not in texture not in flavour
It must have been bad if the birds turned their beaks up!
The lady didn't cook it enough for the sugar to melt. Fudge should not be grainy. It should be creamy. If she had used condensed milk, she wouldn't have had that problem.
