Sundae Morning

I'm 21934 days old today and to celebrate I finally did something I had promised myself as a 60th birthday treat. Running 19 days late Dr Fred and I took ourselves off for a special lunch at Spurellis ice cream Parlor in Amble where I had a ginormous Cherry Ice Cream Sundae... IT WAS MARVELOUS!!!
Cherry Sundae
I do love an ice cream and I've often been in Spurellis having a coffee and seen people eating extremely scrummy looking ice cream but have always put the temptation aside thinking to treat myself on a high day or holiday... today was neither but in fact a high day that had been held on a holiday so now was the time!!

I cant wait for the next high day as it was very difficult to choose which one to have - they all look truly scrumptious and all deserve a try at some point.

This wasn't the only highlight of the day - we decided to earn the ice cream by having a brisk stroll around the harbour and were delighted to see some rare Amble wildlife - a porpoise or dolphin  frolicking among the waves and leaping about at the end of the pier.  We watched it for 10 minutes or so until it disappeared round the breakwater.

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

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
