      Good morning Antonio, well you are more than welcome. We couldn't be happier to hear that you'll enjoy the walk with your Mum, do let us know how she finds it won't you, we'll be thinking of you both. I do hope it evokes happy memories?

    Thanks Yvonne & Mike ☺
    This was another of your videos which came up in my suggestions this evening so who am I to refuse such quality content, especially combined with your witty parodic commentary?!
    Funchal truly is beautiful during the season of Advent as you captured it well & loved the walk through Avenido Arriaga!
    I'm slowly on the mend & almost back to my regular routine, albeit it slowly & hope you've settled well into your new home.
    Have an amazing week my friends 🤗

    • @LivingWalks
      @LivingWalks  Год назад +1

      That's very gracious of you Rue, considering the top level standard of your own filming and editing! So glad you're on the mend - really hope that it's not going to get in the way of your filming. I imagine you've got your next destination lined up already?
      Nice of you to remember our house move. Yes, it went really well thanks - it's a lovely little house, with all the charm and character of the old one - (you never really know for sure until you move in!)
      Such a shame to have missed you this year. I'm sure we'll cross paths soon. Now that the move is out the way, we'll be back in Madeira in a few weeks and then again just after Christmas. Wishing you a speedy recovery 🤗

    Hi Mike - Thank you for going to the trouble of creating such professional, high quality videos. My wife and I will be visiting Madeira for three weeks in March and have now watched (and given a like to!) all the videos in your Madeira playlist. It feels like we have already been there! The videos with the captions were excellent but we really enjoyed your recent narrated versions even more. I know they take more effort to produce but I definitely think they're worth it. Thanks again for creating this great video series! Cheers!

      What a shame we'll be back in blighty when you are here, we would have loved to have shared a coffee with you. You'll have a wonderful time I'm sure. Thanks again for connecting and hope to stay in touch.

      Hello there Jose, well how could you possibly believe that espadas don't collect iron ore from the bottom of the sea!
      I'm most honoured to hear that you felt I managed to say the surname of the discovers of the islands correctly.
      Interesting to hear that Zarco maybe nicknamed due to the sword fight with the moors in north Africa when he lost an eye!
