I'm back from hols. But where's ...

[Anne Brooke]

... my luggage?? Having an extended break in Madeira, that's where ... Bugger. Hope to God it makes it back to the mother country on Monday, when BA promise it will. Harrumph indeed.
That said, Madeira was great! Highlights (without the aid of my journal, still in Funchal ...) were:

• the mountains
• the trees on the mountains
• the hotel
• the sea view - fantastic!
• seeing a grapefruit tree
• relaxing
• boogying on down at the Madeiran Folklore Evening (I'm such an Essex Girl ...)
• getting on a cable car ...
• ... and enjoying the thrill of it.
• smelling jasmine ...
• ... and seeing a bird of paradise flower. No, several, in fact!

Hope your weeks have been good. Back with a fuller blog tomorrow!
