Wisdom for the credit crunch from Dickens: “My other piece of advice, Copperfield,” said Mr. Micawber, “you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the god of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and—and, in short, you are for ever floored. As I am!”

Fantastic views from the levadas, and the smell of the Portuguese laurel is wonderful. I loved the food spitted on the aromatic twigs too. Do they still have those beautiful little bananas?
Yes they do, though they canonly sell them to Potugal, some EU reg or other. It has had a very bad effect on farming on the island, cut production down to 20% of what it usedto be I think, probably fuelling more building.
