Portugal's worst winter for years, nay in living memory, continues. One nice day this week, Monday, now back to strong winds and rain. Madeira recovering slowly from its horrendo us flooding. We recognised a lot of the locations in Funchal shown in news reports from our time there last year. What devastation!

We are heading briefly back to the UK in ten days for my checkup. Ju's arm is much better now, and we both feel pretty fit again, thank goodness. Other plans are taking shape, and will be reported here as and when they happen. Meantime we need to get the boat into the boatyard at the end of the month, and take it from there. More in due course......
