And don't forget Maddie

It was 5 years last week years since Madeline went missing from her apartment where she was staying whilst on holiday here in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve. At that very time, I was enjoying an evening meal in the village which was only a couple of hundred yards away when it happened.
I was reminded today, that it is also 5 years since the current Vicar and his family arrived in the Algarve to take up his new position as Vicar at St.Vincent's Church in Praia da Luz.
When Father Haynes arrived he apparently knew nothing of the previous weeks events as he and his family were in transit on route from Canada (where they are originally from) to Portugal.
The situation then had to be explained to Father Haynes as he was collected from the airport and driven to Praia da Luz to take up his new post.
Welcome to Portugal.
