One day…………..

This is my favourite restaurant in Madeira.

I love taking friends there for the first time as they always love both the setting and the food.

I love going there with friends and family who also love it.

I even love going there on my own as they treat me like family, make me feel special, and serve the most amazing fish and seafood.

The restaurant is not far from the number 2 bus stop, but the steps are brutal and there’s no other way to get down or back.

Deliveries of crates and bottles look a nightmare stretching the energies and strength of even the fittest guys.

In this glorious November sun, I was struck by a disturbing thought.

I’m not being negative (well, I probably am, but I don’t mean to be) but at some point I won’t be able to get there or back. The steps will defeat me.

There’s nothing else for it.  I’ll just have to stay as fit as I can, make the most of it, and go there whenever I have the chance.
