Hhi Fred, nice to see you got into the spirit of the 70's week fancy dress you went on. Glasses like that must be very "rare" now

podge · 22nd March 2008, 22:39

Uncle Podge said he was going to put his Kipper Tie on as well!!......but I thought you ate Kippers? So here are a few holiday pictures of me in Sunny Funchal Madeira.....
We stayed in a very nice old Hotel in the very hilly historic part of town and I was told off for nearly falling through here...

then I had a look from the swimming pool area on the roof, it was a loverly old town

podge · 22nd March 2008, 22:44

Then we went to some pretty gardens where I tried to get a sun tan....

but nice Auntie Podge found me a shady spot so I did not get burnt

The next day we climbed up to the top of the old fort and what a super veiw

podge · 22nd March 2008, 22:52

I wanted to go with them to climb those mountains but they said it would be too dangerous.....I am a bear I said, I'm used to climbing, but I had to stay at my new holiday home for the day.......its not fair

but they made up for it when they found me a new playmate...Monte

Alas, when the last day came, Monte said goodbye to me...

Thankyou Uncle and Auntie Podge for a super time, its so cold back here in North Warnborough!!! I wonder where I am going next??????

Blimey Fred with all the sunbathing you do no wonder your a brown bear.

Looks a very nice place

A splendid set of holiday snaps!

podge · 23rd March 2008, 21:51

Yes Zeb, one very happy little chap!! Podge

I hope that nice Mr. Kandyman puts his latest trip on the map.

Hi Podge,

I take it it was Madeira in Portugal that Fred went to ?

GreyGhost · 23rd March 2008, 22:45

No it's the Portuguese island in the Atlantic, Search for Funchal the capital.
