Our Move to Madeira

 

5th July 2021 - a date on the calendar marking our next chapter!

We are here!

Finally we have arrived in Madeira, after an epic wait of 18 months or so!

We made a pit stop at the supermarket on the way (taxi waiting), a one basket dash each.

 

Mine: bread/milk/cheese/tomatoes

Paul’s: beer/beer/beer/wine/wine/wine/- oh and fruit juice x2

Arrived at the house - the garden is a very dry jungle, and cobwebs, dust and beasties are everywhere, but nothing that can’t be sorted!

Tomorrow is another day!

8th July 2021

Third day in - we cleaned and swept and there’s plenty more to do!

Paul has made inroads into sorting his studio rooms - all boxes are now emptied - see picture of the “Gallery” - a bit to go before we can declare it open.

NOS, the broadband provider people, are coming tomorrow to link us up (TV, telephone, WiFi). We can make free international calls after 9pm which may be useful.

We watched the football semi final at “wa local” up the road, together with a Portuguese fish stew, vino and poncha!!

We bought our first plants - a selection of herbs - and can’t wait to get them potted up.

An early night for me tonight!
