    My mum has been in the UK for 45 years. She left Madeira to work in London when she was 28 years old and met my dad and had me and the rest is her history. She suffers from Alzheimer's now and she absolutely loves your videos, she says it's exactly like being home and walking around herself, she remembers everything as if it was yesterday and tells me and my son all about the cafés and Bazar do Povo and the marina and then the Sheraton hotel where she used to work. Thank you good man, you are an absolute star and the pace and quality of the videos and your perfect narration is fantastic. Thank you 🌞

      What an absolute pleasure to receive your lovely message on this Christmas morning, it's indeed made our day to know that our little films are in some way helpful to people such as your Mum, as it was our hope from the beginning.
      So thank you kind sir for taking the time to let us know.
      We certainly hope to bring as much of your Mum's lovely island back to her, whenever we can.
      It certainly makes it all worthwhile to know they are being enjoyed.
      Happy Christmas to you and yours and we hope to stay in touch.

    As I am watching your wonderful presentation, it is 25 degrees (-3.8 Celsius) outside with snow on the ground. Many people dream of having a white Christmas. It is nice, but it would be nice two wear shorts during the Christmas season.
    Love Madeira. Very nice. Thank you. Hi from cold Sandpoint, Idaho USA.

      Arrggggg 25 degrees (-3.8 Celsius) with snow on the ground... and I thought it was cold in Blighty!! I'm with you there regarding a white Christmas... I too would rather wear shorts during the Christmas season, or perhaps any season, I'm becoming such a lightweight where weather is concerned. Happy Christmastime to you and your wife btw if we don't get to chat again.

    Great video again.
    Always love the video walks around Madeira. I have been 15 times and due to visit again in mid March.
    I restrict myself to Funchal (old legs!) and have walked many of the side streets. Favourite hotel is now the Porto Santa Maria which is ideally placed.
    Keep up the good work.
