Snowdog appeal about to close...

Its the last days of snowdog crowdfunding appeal https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ruby-starrs-1  and unless no one wants poor old Wor Geordie we ain't going to be able to bid.. a tad disappointing but we would like to thank all the many friends, family and all the people we don't know and the anonymous persons (I expect you know who you are) for the generous donations they have made and we are able to give around £300 to St Oswalds Hospice.

While I knew I was being extremely optimistic hoping to raise the money, I stick with my motto nothing ventured nothing gained.  As a group we are proud to be able to make the donation to the Hospice and have loved every bit of being involved with the Wild in Art Project - from designing to painting and even visiting Wor Geordie on the street...

The auction is on Tuesday next week and I will post the results, fingers crossed for generous bids for our lovely Snowdog.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
