Madeira

Yes, it is a beautiful Island, but a few points to be aware of. 1.It's very hilly and if you don't like climbing them, difficult to avoid. 2.The weather lived up to the forecasts, sun and showers. Hot and humid 3.Eating out quite expensive. 4.No sandy beaches. The positives include, 1.Wonderful and friendly people 2.80% of revenue is from tourism.20% from the export of bananas. 3.Service industry excellent, you may not have gone into the shop to buy, but I'll guarantee you will come out with something. 4. Tours on offer excellent. 2ND NOVEL COMING ALONG,THE LIBERTY BODICE.

I've been away from blogging for a while, as I have needed to work on my latest novel 'The Liberty Bodice' I am sure all this unexpected effort will be worth the wait. I'm taking a short holiday to Madeira, where I see the weather is none to Clément,we shall have to partake in the indoor activities that the hotel has described. Auntie Peggy is still off the booze, however she told my sister that when she goes to my sons for tea, he will provide her with a glass of rum. She has never drunk rum in her long life. Closing down for now. News of the hols. on my return. With all good wishes, Joy
