Hi Rosalind,

Yes that's the gardens that we went to, they were very nice. We didn't know about the bus! Never mind, it was a good week, the weather was good also, but then it was in June. We had a photo taken as the cable car took off and it was ready for us 'to buy' when we went back down, hubby wasn't going to buy it but I over ruled it as we never have souveniers of trips...gawd what a pair we look on it though...both look knackered 'cos of all the walking! Sweat stuck to the forehead isn't a good look!

Hope to chat on here again sometime.

Off to work later, take care and keep warm

Pam.

Glad you enjoyed your holiday, Pam. No I'm not that fit, but try and get a bit of walking in. Not been to the botanical gardens or Monte recently, take it was Monte gardens you went to. You should have gone on the bus, much cheaper and much more fun than the cable car.

The people on the whole are pretty friendly, although some in the council offices are miserable so and so, very much the jobsworth attitude with some of them here.

We don't live in Funchal so we are not as warm. Temperature is 19 out and about 17 in at the moment. I have the door open trying to warm it up inside a bit. It will drop to around 15 at night and can go lower, hence the need for a fire plus a couple of oil filled radiators.

Spot of gardening needed later to get me warm.

We and hubby spent a week at the hotel carraju near the capital Funchal. We went to the gardens, thought we'd never find out way out!! Went up on the cable car and down again...to scared to go by the sleighs! Lovely island, friendly people.
