Many thanks, Went to Madeira (hence No 7 quiz today as Cristiano CR7 Ronaldo was born there I think) and weather was up and down towards the end of the week, some heavy downpours and storms but it wasn't cold and far more preferable to the cold here!! Lovely island. The fillet steak on a skewer made up for the rain, delicious!
