Hi guys, great video. Do you still have your UK bank account? As you don't have a UK address, or do you use a family members address. We're looking at Madeira as well, and we'll also be selling up and banks don't seem to like it if you don't have a UK address.
Thanks

Please can you tell us how you have managed to look after your cat during this long process. We have three house cats and they will be our biggest problem.
You guys look so bronzed! Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks!
I am taking away that you have to live with your decisions and not regret.
The setting was beautiful. The sound quality was great. All in all a great video
What a brilliant video
