SAFE SPAIN

MALAGA Mayor, Francisco de la Torre, says Costa del Sol should not be forgotten in UK quarantine negotiations. The Spanish executive “cannot forget Malaga and the Costa del Sol in their negotiations with the British government to get exceptions in regard to the mandatory quarantine decreed for tourists returning from Spain,” argues de la Torre. The calls come in the wake of the UK’s government shock decision to implement a 14-day compulsory quarantine requirement on all travellers returning from Spain and the Foreign Office advice against all non-essential travel to the country. Reducing this to 10 days was on the cards as EWN went to press. “It would be a mistake

PROTECT THE COAST: Mayor of Malaga City Francisco de la Torre. and an injustice,” said de la Torre via his Twitter account. The decree has come as a shock to many people, tourists as well as politicians, both in Spain and in the UK. Currently, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands are rallying to be excluded from this quarantine measure. On Sunday, July 26, the

president of the Costa del Sol Council and Tourism, Francisco Salado also asked for the “same treatment” for the “Costa del Sol” as for the rest of the “main national tourist destinations.” Salado argued that there is no space for “grievances or privileges” as this is a sensitive issue which will affect many businesses

and families in Spain. He added that the region should not be grouped in with the rest of Spain as it has a “very low incidence rate” in terms of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, Marbella mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, will be presenting a motion at the next plenary council meeting to demand that the central government al-

so requests the UK creates a safe tourist corridor with the Costa del Sol. She points out that Marbella has a genuine grievance that in her negotiations with the British government, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya has asked for the exclusion of the Balearic and Canary Islands from the quarantine imposed on travellers from Spain. In an impassioned statement she said: “It is not understood that once again the Executive of Pedro

Sánchez turns his back on the Costa del Sol and that the incidence of British tourism in our market is not even considered, the epidemiological indicators which show that we are a safe destination or the effort that the health and tourism sectors have done during all these months.” She added: “Unfortunately this is not a new abuse; we already suffered when we were prevented from passing the phase during the de-escalation without any objective criteria.”

Public cleaning Thank you, LIKE many other towns on the Costa del Sol, Fuengirola is proud of its record of cleaning different areas of the municipality to combat possible Covid-19 infection and this work will continue throughout the summer. This is important due to the expected number of visitors to the town and the council has decided to extend the programme to ensure that beaches are completely safe, with regular cleansing of public toilets and beach furniture up to three times each day.

Extending terrace use THE Mijas Council has decided that in view of the need to ensure that local hospitality businesses are supported that they will extend the permission for bars and restaurants in the municipality to extend terraces onto pavements. It was something allowed once lockdown was finished and is an important way of ensuring that hospitality businesses are able to satisfy customer demand and thus help the economy to recover and keep staff employed. According to Councillor Nicolás Cruz there are almost a hundred establishments in Mijas which have taken advantage of this temporary expansion of terraces and this has allowed some 75 per cent of bars and restaurants to reopen following lockdown. In order to ensure social distancing and to comply with hygiene recommendations, the space will be expanded provided there is a minimum separation of 1.5 metres between tables and there is no blocking of access to pedestrian crossings or access to buildings or garages.

Planting the seeds SEVENTY-FIVE years ago this month, the repopulation of the pine forests of Sierra de Alhaurín el Grande began, a project which took 20 years and transfor med the norther n part of the mountain range into what it is today. To mark the historic event, the council’s environmental department has put together a variety of activities. Children taking part in the Summer School planted seeds in recyclable containers, and have taken them home to take care of them for a few months. When autumn arrives, they will be planted in the mountains, which will also be open to the rest of the local residents.

REMEDIAL WORK: Four schools being painted. THE closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic has meant that the Estepona Council has had the chance to undertake no less than 268 improvements across places of learning in the municipality. In addition to this general remedial work it is also commencing painting in four schools, renovating the roof of the El Nido nursery school and building a new perimeter wall at the Cancelada nursery school. The work which started on June 15 was planned following a review of each empty building to ensure that when the children return, they will be welcomed by cleaner, fresher classrooms, many of which will now be better insulated to cope with both heat and cold. Schools take up a great deal of council workers’ time and effort with as many as 1,000 repairs every year, but this enforced closure has resulted in a great deal of positive work taking place in a short period of time.

Now, with effect from Sunday, August 2 they will be reintroducing their link with Bristol, although it has not yet announced whether they will return to the previous three flights a week. In the meantime, the CEO of the airlines holiday division Garry Wilson has called for the British government to review its approach to quarantine rules

Bad Smell and Rats DIOGENES SYNDROME is a behavioural disorder that affects older adults and the main symptoms are excessive hoarding, dirty homes, and poor personal hygiene as well as withdrawal from life and society. Unfortunately for residents of Calle Madrid in Marbella one of their neighbours was diagnosed with this problem and some three weeks ago their house caught fire and because of the accumulation of rubbish, there was a serious blaze. Whilst the police have cordoned off the area, nothing has been done about the remains and local residents are complaining about the smell and the fact that the house has attracted rats which are finding their way into other houses. As it is a private property, the council is not able at this stage to do anything about clearing the mess from the building.

ALL CHANGE: Revealing the new stadium plans. YOU would be forgiven for thinking that Marbella FC and its old stadium with a capacity of just 6,500 is a ‘bottom feeder’ in Spanish footballing terms, but this is all about to change. The CEO of the Best of You Company, with the blessing of Marbella mayor, Ángeles Muñoz has announced plans to build a brand-new stadium capable of holding 18,000 fans, with 2,000 underground parking spaces alongside a hotel and swimming pools. They are looking to win their way out of the Second Division B Group 4 and have been playing well, but just lost out in the promotion playoffs. It is intended to build on the land where the current stadium is situated and once completed will be an ideal spot for exhibition matches as well as for regular league and cup games.

THE Andalucian Youth Council (IAJ) set up a stand on the promenade of the Fuente de la Salud beach where they launched their new campaign ‘No matter what you wear, dress for the occasion.’ “This is a campaign promoted by the IAJ for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections,” explained councillor for Youth, María Isabel Ruiz. The campaign, which will visit 66 municipalities throughout Andalucia, is all about awareness-raising activities supported by material specifically designed for it. Organisations with considerable experience in this area such as the Red Cross, Doctors of the World, Anti-AIDS Committee and many more have helped to prepare the campaign material. The initiative seeks to approach adolescents and young people in places of youth concentration during this time of year, building interactive and creative spaces where, in addition to receiving information, young people can learn to modify a number of erroneous beliefs that hurt long-term relationships.

International probe POLICE in Spain are investigating whether a gang suspected of kidnap and torture may have operated on the Costa del Sol. So far, six people have been arrested in the Netherlands and seven soundproof transport cargos have been seized. In a joint police investigation with Spanish and Dutch authorities, a Dutch criminal group has been dismantled. This group allegedly resorted to torture and kidnap in settling accounts between rival gangs and are believed to be responsible for several murders carried out on the Costa del Sol over the last few years. The six detainees in the Netherlands have been arrested in connection with

the Moroccan mafia, which is dedicated to trafficking drugs between the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain. In a chilling seizure, an additional seven transport containers were found. All of these vessels are soundproofed and equipped with torture chairs to immobilise individuals. For example, the containers had shackles anchored to the ground or chairs with straps, as well as tools and utensils to attack them. These kidnappings were related to serious conflicts between the most important criminal organisations operating in the Netherlands and other criminal groups in Spain and the province of Malaga in recent years.

The deadline for submitting offers will end on October 31. According to the appraisal carried out by the Ministry of Transport, the preparation of the project and the obtaining of the work permits will be at least a two-year period. Construction of the hotel will take another two years. Once the works have been completed, they will begin to count down for the 30 years operation lease.

TAXI DRIVERS in Marbella have been applauded for all that they did to help out during the lockdown with shopping trips for the elderly, children’s birthday wishes, delivery of vital medical supplies and much more. Having already been thanked for their hard work and dedication by the Marbella Council they are now pleased to learn that once again all is being done to protect their livelihood during the busy summer season. This is even more important as they try to recover lost income from the first half of the year and cope with a general reduction in the number of tourists visiting the municipality.

Cover up POLICE presence on the Costa del Sol has intensified as the number of patrol cars and checkpoints have been increased to ensure all citizens are wearing a mask. Officers are reminding that a mask must be worn when you are travelling with one, or more, passengers in your car, who do not all officially live at the same address. According to news sources, the police have been seen in various parts of the Costa del Sol conducting checkpoints to strictly ensure that this rule is being enforced. There has been a heavy police presence in particular in Elviria and Fuengirola, around Los Boliches and Yaramar.

COCAINE dealers on the Costa del Sol who used ‘adapted’ cars to ‘discreetly’ transport their supply have been arrested.

Botellon banned Restaurant capacity

STREET drinking in southern Spain has been officially prohibited by the president of the Junta de Andalucia, Juana Moreno. More commonly known as ‘botellon,’ this is an activity typically practised by youngsters in Spain. Young adults and teens will normally congregate in public areas to socialise whilst drinking alcohol, however, this common practice has now been prohibited. Moreno has officially branded this activity during the health crisis as a harmful and dangerous pastime. In a bid to reduce the likelihood of transmission, Moreno is also considering limiting nightlife across the autonomous community. Moreno held a meeting at the Palacio de San Telmo with the mayors of the eight Andalucian capitals. Here, he highlighted the need for communication and his insti-

This is something that he has always considered necessary, but even more so during times as complicated as the ones which we are going through because of the

coronavirus crisis. Moreno stresses that the virus has not gone away yet and that it is still with us. He insists on the need for compliance with sanitary measures to prevent the number of infections from increasing. Whilst also applauding the responsibility that municipalities demonstrated in regard to the pandemic and the effort, commitment and dedication of the mayors.

Secret compartments Officers have arrested four suspects who are believed to have moved four to eight kilos of cocaine a month. It all began during the lockdown in Spain when a man tried to evade the police checkpoint in Nerja, Malaga. He tried to flee

but police managed to stop him, when they searched his vehicle, they found a box containing four kilos of marihuana. As a consequence of his arrest, the police opened up an investigation to verify whether this person was making any other consid-

erable journeys and taking drugs across Andalucia. They found that the drug journeys were made by using secret compartments within the vehicle. These sophisticated compartments had the ability to conceal up to two kilos of cocaine.

NEW RULES: Smaller groups allowed in restaurants. IN a surprise decision, the Andalucia Government has introduced a number of new measures which will affect the hospitality industry once again. The most wide-reaching decision will see the capacity of ‘bares de copas’ and nightclubs cut from 75 to 60 per cent and table sizes reduced from 25 to 12 in restaurants, whilst nightclubs will need to keep a register of guests’ details so that they may be contacted in the event of an outbreak of coronavirus. Once again, the ordering of drinks at bars has been banned and drinks will have to be ordered at a pre-assigned table. Whilst the whole of Spain argues against the introduction of quarantine measures for travellers returning to the UK, this could either be taken as an acceptance that a problem does exist or as a prudent measure to help the UK change its mind.

MANY people have been asking about the situation with regards to travel from Gibraltar to the UK and whether passengers will have to go into quarantine for 14 days. The Chief Minister Fabian Picardo on Monday July 27 advised that this would not be enforced for anybody who has been staying in Gibraltar and has not been in or out of Spain within 14 days before travel. In such cases where passengers have been in Spain, they will be required to advise authorities at the UK airport of entry and quarantine would be required. The Chief Minister said when announcing this, “In our view that fairly reflects that the Gibraltar airport should not be used as a back door to the UK by those who have been in Spain.” He also tweeted that the Gibraltar government is in communication with the UK Ministry of Transport over the situation and admitted that it will be difficult to enforce who has come from Spain as it relies on honesty, but there could also be a paper trail.

Residents later took to social media to complain about a ‘return’ to the days of noise and fast driving and invited the police to take a more proactive stance.

10 day quarantine

QUARANTINE: New plans being considered.

QUARANTINE ‘to be cut to 10 days for holidaymakers returning to the UK from Spain’ after backlash from travel firms and businesses. The quarantine period for people arriving from Spain or other countries with high coronavirus levels is at present 14 days. This period could reportedly be cut to 10 days under plans being looked at by ministers as EWN went to press. Returning travellers would need to quarantine for eight days before being tested, under new plans being considered. After that they would only need to remain in quarantine for another two days should they test negative, according to government sources. It is understood that ministers are also thinking of instructing everyone who has returned from Spain since July 23 to get tested. It comes as the government was told to get a grip on summer holiday ‘confusion’ after the Balearic and Canary Islands were added to the list of places where only essential travel should take place. The government is also considering telling everyone who has come into the

UK from Spain since July 23, including returning holidaymakers, to take a coronavirus test, the report added. Britain dealt a new blow to Spain on Monday, July 27, by extending guidance advising against all non-essential travel, which already applied to mainland Spain, to include the nearby Balearic and Canary Islands. Business leaders on Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca have called on the Spanish government to press harder for these changes. The quarantine rules are being considered “a damaging blow” to Spain’s tourism industry, said one minister. Jet2 cancels all flights to Spain The decision on Monday by Jet2 to cancel flights to the whole of Spain has caused chaos throughout the travel industry. Thousands of British holidaymakers are now in a desperate rush to get back to the UK. Holiday firms are inundated with calls for help and phone lines are jammed. Some companies, like Jet2, have told customers NOT to call them as they will contact them directly. According to the outraged messages on social media however, this does not seem to be the case!

Unity and solidarity THE King of Spain Felipe VI called for “unity and solidarity” among Spanish citizens and territories, while he participated in the celebration of James the Apostle, the patron saint of Spain. The King admitted that the problems the country faces are “enormous,” but he urged citizens to stick together to face the economic and social consequences of the Covid crisis. Felipe VI led the celebrations along with his wife, Queen Letizia, on Saturday, July 25, and presented the traditional offering to the saint at Santiago

de Compostela, as the monarchs continue their tour of the country’s autonomous communities. The King recalled in his speech that Spain had gotten through tough situations in the past and called on the need to act with “solidarity” between the different communities as well as a mutual understanding. He described the crisis as a “common cause” and a “shared battle” and added that the duty of the Crown was to be the “meeting point that allows us to walk the path of freedom together.”

ALTERNATIVE BUT ILLEGAL WAYS OF HOLDING A MEETING THE president and administrator of any community have their re s p o n s i b i l i t i e s a n d decision making authority concerning the everyday affairs of their community, but t h e re a l l y i m p o r t a n t decisions should fall to the community as a whole and be decided at a general meeting of owners. At least one meeting, the AGM

must be held every y e a r w i t h e x t r a o rd i nary meetings being held when necessary. Providing general meetings adhere to the rules designed to control the spread of the Covid 19 virus, there are no limitations on the number of owners who can attend. Understandably there are owners who will be reluctant to attend a

general meeting, especially if it requires international travel and in many cases community meetings have been postponed for this reason. However some issues cannot be put off and urgently require a meeting of owners. This can create a conflict between owners who would like to attend but possibly do not live in Spain and will not attend, and the owners entitled to hold a general meeting to resolve an important issue regarding their community and will attend. Those who will not attend, threaten to contest the decisions of the meeting in court, claiming prevention from promoting their point of

view to the other owners because of the Covid 19 risk. However this is not the case. Firstly there are currently no (or very few) restrictions on coming to Spain to attend a meeting. Secondly, every owner has the right to cede their vote to another as a proxy. So the meeting would be legal and therefore the agreements reached, enforceable.

To resolve the problems and remove the conflicts, communities have come up with various solutions. Some communities will send an email to the owners asking where they stand on a particular issue. For example, asking for an extra payment in addition to the already approved community fees. If the majority of owners agree in their email reply, the extra payment will be taken as approved as if it had been passed at a general meeting. This may be very useful as a survey of opinion, but it is far from legal and no owner would be obliged by a court to make the additional payment. Others propose hold-

ing meetings by videoconferencing ‘zoom meetings’. This might seem like another viable solution but unfortunately not. Even though an amendment to the law passed during the lockdown permitted companies and other entities to conduct general meetings by video-conferencing, with the possible exception of Catalonia, the amendment did not include communities. Neither would a halfhalf approach of having a general meeting where some owners attend and others represent themselves by video link and vote as if they were actually present. The owner or their representative has to be physically present for their vote to count. Another ‘tactic’ is for an owner to send their opinion regarding each of the points on the agenda to the administrator in the for m of a list, again no. Unless the owner gives the administrator, the president or to anyone else for that matter - who will be physically present during the meeting - a written authorisation to vote on their behalf in the for m of a proxy, it will not count and anything approved in this way could be successfully challenged in court. The proxy can either be specific on each point or just a general authorisation. As it would be difficult to reverse later, should the representative not follow the owner’s specific wishes a general authorisation could not be recommended. In conclusion, some good ideas but unfortunately not acceptable, even under the current circumstances.

Beach Social Distancing Praised

CHIPIONA BEACH: Beachgoers are keeping a safe distance.

CHIPIONA BEACH in Cadiz has been featured on Sky News as an example of how social distancing on Spain’s beaches can and does work. More than one million followers have seen a tweet by Juanma Moreno, President of the Junta da Andalucia where he shows the video which was taken by a drone and said in his tweet; “#Andalucia is a safe destination and

an example of responsibility. These impressive aerial pictures taken by @SkyNews are proof of it. We ask the United Kingdom government and its PM @BorisJohnson to think over and reconsider their decision.” He hopes that this and an appeal to the Spanish government will help to obtain permission for exclusion from quarantine for travellers from the province who fly to the UK.

NATIONAL

Over a million SPAIN has reported that over one million jobs have been lost during the last quarter due to the coronavirus crisis. The ministry for finance said that a quarterly fall on this scale was not even recorded during the very worst months of the 2008 global recession. The worldwide pandemic has left a devastating effect on the Spanish labour market. According to the latest workforce survey (EPA) released on Tuesday, July 28, by the National Statistics Institute (INE), nearly 1.1 million jobs were lost in the second quarter of 2020. INE commented that this represents an unprecedented drop in the countries national statistics. However, the impact of the crisis, which led to a prolonged lockdown and two-week total shutdown of all non-essential economic activity, was mitigated by the government’s ERTE furloughing scheme. Under this system, companies suffering financial losses from the Covid-19 pandemic, and the confinement measures, could temporarily send home workers or

reduce their working hours. In June this year, the Spanish government agreed to extend the scheme until September 30 - a move applauded across all sectors of the business community. During the second quarter, Spain was one of the countries in the world hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic, and it implemented one of the strictest lockdowns imposed in Europe from mid-March to June. An outbreak of the virus is still so far being contained in Catalonia but the health ministry has warned it could spread and trigger new outbreaks, something the country cannot afford. It is also worth remembering that the jobless total is not accurate and that the actual figure is much more. Employees on the ERTE scheme are not classed as unemployed and it is a forgone conclusion that thousands of businesses will unfortunately not survive until the end of the year. At the moment, almost 50 per cent of ERTE workers at back at their jobs, leaving over 500,000 still on the system.

Soaring fireball

FIREBALL: Soars over southern Spain.

ON Wednesday, July 22, the detectors of the SMART project saw a fireball soar over southern Spain’s sky at over 220,000 kilometres per hour. The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucia registered the fireball from astronomical observatories of Sevilla and Calar Alto in Almeria. As reported by the chief investigator of the SMART project, Jose María Madiedo, who is part of the Institute of Astro-

physics of Andalucia (IAACSIC), the fireball was recorded at 3.49am on July 22. The phenomenon occurs when a rock from a comet enters the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of about 220,000 kilometres per hour. The collision with the atmosphere at this enormous speed caused the rock to become incandescent and generate a fireball that soared at an altitude of about 120 kilometres above the Gulf of

Cadiz; from there it advanced in a north westerly direction, becoming extinct at about 75 kilometres above sea level. The detectors of the SMART project operate within the framework of the Southwest Europe Fireball and Meteor Network (SWEMN), which aims to continuously monitor the sky in order to record and study the impact against the Earth’s atmosphere of rocks from different objects of the Solar System.

Sources from the Electrical supplier Endesa informed Efe that the technician EXPLOSION: The incident occurred at an Endesa Power Plant. died at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital. He had been transferred there when his wounds worsened after being initially admitted to the Virgen Macarena. Health emergencies, Local Police, and firefighters moved to the area and evacuated the wounded man, who was working as an Endesa subcontractor carrying out repairs on the power station. The accident occurred at 6.15pm when several calls alerted that an explosion had occurred in Calle Ontur, in the Alcosa park area. Severe shock and first-degree burns are normally the results of electrical burns, although the hospital would not comment on the actual cause of the man’s death.

Increased bilateral trade AN agreement between Turkey and Spain should result in an increase in bilateral trade from €11 billion to €20 billion according to Turkish Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan. The minister said “We can boost joint trade in various sectors such as automotive, clothing, iron and steel, electronic, furniture and food.” She also encouraged Spanish companies to submit proposals with regards to railway projects as they have proven their ability and experience in other countries. In addition, both ministers agreed in a conference call to work together in third party countries.

Spanish Fishing Fleet SPAIN’S fishing fleets don’t just operate in the Mediterranean as there are a number of vessels all over the world, including Seychelles, where they search for big catches of tuna. One company uses West African crew but at the latest change over, 97 out of 207 new crew were tested positive for Covid-19 and their vessels were impounded and used to quarantine the active cases. This has resulted in lower catches and increased medical, travel and transport costs according to a company spokesperson.

STAT OF €32 million WEEK

is the price being asked for an 11-bedroom property in La Zagaleta which is believed to be the most expensive house currently on sale on the Costa del Sol.

Undercover Investigation BUSINESSMAN Mike Ashley, owner of the Frasers Group, Sports Direct and Newcastle United is rarely out of the news and this time it is sug­ gested that his company is paying workers at its warehouse less than the minimum wage. Five years ago, The Guardian newspaper undertook an undercov­ er investigation into the warehouse in Shirebrook Mansfield which it is suggested prompted the company to review its working practices and workers did receive an element of back pay.

Now the newspaper has sent in another undercover team and whilst acknowledging that things have got better, there is an allegation that workers there may once again not be paid the legal minimum wage. In what is possibly a tenuous ob­ servation, The Guardian reporter has suggested that because the staff are not paid for their 30­minute breaks during the day and allegedly are not allowed out of the ware­ house during those breaks, it could be that they should receive addi­ tional payment.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

A Frasers Group spokesman told The Guardian that its warehouse workers did not have to be paid for the breaks and that the business had “no rule preventing staff leav­ ing the warehouse during a rest break.” It also acknowledged The Guardian article in a statement to the Stock Exchange saying “We of course take any comments about our workplace conditions very seri­ ously and will investigate them as appropriate, in line with all applica­ ble laws and regulations.”

Yes, you can divide your 90 days into smaller YOU AND THE LAW units. Here are IN SPAIN three warnings. First, the 90­day tourist stay in a 180­day period is a Euro­ pean Union regulation. This means that you must return to your home country or go to a country outside the EU to spend your 90 days outside Spain. Second, you need to count days, not months. If you are making a chart of your complicated plan, list the number of days in Spain and the number of days outside. Finally, be warned that Spain counts your day of arrival and your day of departure as time in Spain.

THE mayor of Toledo, Milagros Tolón welcomed the Minister of Labour and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz to the City Hall for the formal installation of Toledo as the European Capital of So­ cial Economy. Amongst the many guests was the Minister of Economy, Business and Em­ ployment of the Government of Castil­ la­La Mancha, Patricia Franco who was part of the official panel.

THE largest department store chain in Europe, Spain’s El Corte Inglés tradi­ tionally holds its annual shareholders meeting at the end of August, but brought the date forward to Sunday July 26 with the majority of shareholders attending digi­ tally. Two major matters to be raised will be a reduction in the dividend to be paid to a total of €37.5 million and a decision to incorporate its subsidiary, clothing brand Sfera into the main compa­ ny for strategic reasons. There is little likelihood of job losses for the brand which operates 71 stores in

Spain and Portugal and has a number of franchises around the world. Unlike many other Euro­ pean stores, El Corte Inglés follows a policy of running merged companies both within its department stores as well as leaving them as standalone retail units which include Bricor, Hiper­ cor, Supercor plus the new Sfera in order to take ad­ vantage of smaller outlets. Overall profits for the fi­ nancial year (March 2019 to February 2020) are up by just over 20 per cent and represent the most success­ ful year of trading since 2010.

European Capital of Social Economy Milagros Tolón said that the interna­ tional exposure of the city through this project is an opportunity and an essen­ tial tool, to maintain the recovery of the socio­economic situation triggered by the Covid­19 crisis. She told the minister that at crucial moments for the economy such as the current one, the council has

made it a priority to carry out a Plan for the Economic and Social Reactiva­ tion of the City, and has made €15 million available to support the self­ employed, SMEs, commerce, tourism, vulnerable people and the culture sector. Toledo was designated as the Euro­ pean Capital of Social Economy as it

Spanish debt ALTHOUGH the European Cen­ tral Bank (ECB) does not normal­ ly release information on pur­ chase of government debt, former Spanish Finance Minister and now ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos let slip that the bank is likely to spend €120 billion with Spain.

UK Hospitality turmoil SO desperate are people who have been made redundant in the UK hospitality industry that almost regardless of their seniority or experience they are applying for any job to keep them working. A combination of restruc­ turing, closure and reduction of staff due to social distanc­ ing has seen thousands of people either laid off or given advance notice. A director of the D&D group told BBC’s Radio 4 that when they advertised for a receptionist at their 20 Stories restaurant in Manchester, they received 963 applica­ tions within the first 24 hours.

Airbus interest rates THE Trump administration has been on the warpath against EU member states giving supposed ‘subsidies’ to Airbus to the detriment of Boeing and has threatened new sanctions by way of im­ port tariffs. EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan believes that the decision by Airbus to pay higher interest on loans should resolve the situation but has indicated that the European Union is ready to impose its own sanctions if the US does not accept this compromise and reminded America that the EU believes that it subsidises Boeing. was Spain’s turn to take up the rotating presidency of the Luxembourg Declara­ tion which was initiated in 2015 and seeks to strengthen enterprises that are involved in the social sector in the European Union. This was confirmed by the minister in her speech where she highlighted the importance of the task and be­ lieved that Toledo would fulfil its role perfectly.

Calorie Count on UK Menus by John Smith THE British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to attack obesity, not just in c h i l d re n b u t i n a d u l t s a s well. He is reportedly planning on pass­ ing a law requiring all places that sell food (including takeaways) and em­ ploy 250 staff or more to display the number of calories in each dish on their menus. It is possible that this will then be extended to included alcoholic drinks

AZORA, a private equity real estate manager, has raised €680 million for the launch of a new fund, Azora European Hotel & Lodging, FCR. It now has €1.5 billion to invest in leisure hotel opportunities across Europe, despite (or perhaps

at some time in the future. The rationale behind this is that statistics suggest that those who are significantly overweight represented 8 per cent of those treated in inten­ sive care units for Covid­19 and this was a much higher percentage than other groups of patients. In addition, it is believed that those eating out consume up to 10 per cent more calories than they would if eating at home, so the de­ cision to make clear the number of calories in each meal would allow diners to make an informed choice

BUSINESS EXTRA Island life AN article in the Financial Times suggest that the extremely rich are purchasing small yet habitable islands around the world in order to allow them to be isolated from people during the time that Covid-19 is still a possible threat.

cost of implementing this plan as it will require that all dishes are analysed for calorie content and then all menus will have to be reprinted. This will then make it more time consuming and expensive for these outlets to offer daily specials to their customers or indeed to take advan­ tage of locally grown and sourced produce from small suppliers. Representatives of the restaurant industry, suggest that it would be more appropriate to teach nutrition at school rather than increase the fi­ nancial burden on their members.

FAMED Spanish restaurateur Ferran Adrià closed his three Michelin starred restaurants in 2011 and is now about to make a return with El Bulli 1846 which he calls an “exhibition lab” where he hopes to share his knowledge with young chefs.

Ryanair plans DESPITE the fact that Ryanair lost €185 million in the April to June quarter and the re-imposition of 14 days quarantine for travellers from Spain, the airline intends to continue its Spanish scheduled flights unless forced to stop.

BUSINESS IN THE Almeria Property Finder, Albox “WE are busier now than before lockdown, and sales are good,” Almeria Property Finder owner Cathie Saunders told EWN. Even during the lockdown period, the agency had plenty of work and sales continued. The only changes as a result of the health crisis have been the social distancing, mask wearing and sanitising procedures, and viewings are now “a little different.” Demand from buyers is currently so buoy-

ant that Cathie’s main concern is having enough new properties on the books to meet that. In fact Cathie puts the boom in business down to the Covid-19 situation. “Buyers are more focused and more determined to find a property than at the beginning of the year. “A lot of people who were on the fence due to Brexit have now had time to think about it and have decided to just go for it.”

Furniture World Estepona

Costa del Sol by the demand for both flooring and furniture and from their point of view people are visiting with the intention to buy rather then just to look around. Their biggest problem is obtaining stocks as many of their suppliers are not working at full capacity, but apart from that, they have no reason to complain.

CORRINNE GREEN and partner Richard run Furniture World Estepona and were closed all during lockdown although they still operate a mail order barbecue business which boomed as the weather got warmer. They opened their main store, unsure as to likely demand, but they have been overwhelmed

Fishy Fishy, Moraira

Almeria

Costa Blanca North

CRAIG LONGSTAFF and his wife Nicola from Fishy Fishy, in Moraira, have a positive take on the situation “Although our terrace has been cut to 50 per cent capacity, allowing only six tables, we have seen a drop from being 50 or 60 per cent down to 20 per cent. However, I don’t think this summer will get back to normal,” said Craig who also pointed out that “It’s not too bad, one change is that Nicola and I have had to go from only working three or four hours a day to now working eight to 10 hours a day. Our staff are now all off ERTE, but down to the only hours we are able to pay them.” When asked about the news of quarantine for UK travellers he said “We haven’t seen the effects of it yet, but friends from other businesses have already had cancellations,” and added, “We will get by as we are a family business, but unfortunately some businesses will not survive.”

Toldos Guardamar, Pedro Salvat THE lockdown had a very significant impact on Toldos Guardamar, the company’s director Pedro Salvat told EWN, especially because a good many of their customers are British, Belgian or other foreign nationalities. The many orders they had before the State of Alarm came into force had to be held on “standby” due to the restrictions. Now however the team is twice as busy as before lockdown. Not that they were idle during the lockdown. In fact far from it. Paid for out of its

own pocket, the company produced face masks, which the team delivered to people’s houses, not only to their customers, but to anyone who got in touch with them. Some 6,000 in all,

completely free of charge. They also took people items like gloves and hydroalcoholic gel. It was the company’s contribution to the fight against Covid-19, Pedro

Costa Blanca South said. Yet another gesture during lockdown was offering anyone working in law enforcement, firefighters and medical staff a whopping 50 per cent discount on all their products. One difference for Toldos Guardamar in the new normal has been the decision to offer the special offers it would normally have run earlier in the year now in the summer months so that customers can take advantage. Their usual top quality service remains the same as ever.

MORE than a month after Spain’s long, and for many tough, State of Alarm came to an end and the lockdown was lifted, the Euro Weekly News has been speaking to businesses to find out how they are getting on in the ‘new normal.’ We wanted to know what is different. How does the situation for businesses of all kinds now compare with how things were going before the Covid-19 pandemic impacted on pretty much every aspect of daily life? Have companies had to make a lot of changes to how they operate, or are things rolling along much as they used to?

Olive Properties, Bedar

Almeria

BUSINESS for estate agency Olive Properties is different now from February, says company coowner Joanne Desmond, but the current situation seems really positive. “We are having a huge volume of enquiries,” Joanne told EWN. “Obviously not all clients can travel yet. However, things look very promising and clients are keen to get here. We are seeing an increase in people visiting and the demand is high.” In terms of changes which Olive Properties has undergone as a result of the pandemic, again it is all for the good. “We were quieter, but it gave us the time to do the jobs we were too busy to do before,” Joanne said. “We have fine-tuned the business over the last three months and organised things. We feel more efficient as a team as a result. “We did virtual viewings and videos, which resulted in sales during lockdown, and we are still offering this service and will continue to as a new avenue.” Joanna is optimistic about the rest of 2020. “As a business we are now ready for a positive and busy second half of the year. We are experiencing a lot of interest from foreign buyers, and Spanish also. We feel the end of the year will be very busy and will make up for the quieter months we experienced. We are full of energy and already busy!”

Michelle Johnstone Costa del Sol THE last time we spoke with Michelle who with husband Tony operates Ace of Shades, she was a bit worried about the future as there were a number of restrictions of the work that the company could undertake. Now however she says that they are extremely busy thanks to the heat, mosquitoes and sadly some burglaries and they can’t install screens, awnings and shutters quickly enough. There will be fewer holiday home owners arriving from the UK, but Michelle is very optimistic about the future and the fact that there is still a large potential market for the company.

And what specific changes have businesses had to introduce? Has the effect of the coronavirus situation simply been negative, or have there in fact been some positives, prompting businesses to look at how they could be doing things better? We also asked businesses where they think we go from here. Covid-19 has thrown the world into uncertain times, but what’s clear is that the business community here in Spain is resilient and motivated to move forward.

Harris Furnishings, Pedreguer Costa Blanca North JAYNE HARRIS who owns Harris Furnishings, a furniture retail and reupholstering business in Pedreguer with husband Dave, said, “We have been extremely busy since reopening. I think because people have been stuck indoors critiquing their homes so when they could get out they were ready for a change. “Everything here is working fine, we are following health measures which is reassuring to customers as they know that they are in a safe place. Our retail side has been quieter but this is actually the quietest time for that sector each year, so there is not much change,” said Jayne. She added, “I do think that the news over the weekend will affect business as 50 per cent of our customers are people travelling here from the UK who have holiday homes.”

Solar Solutions Spain, Paul Costa Blanca South Garrod “EVERYONE has been affected by the three-month lockdown,” Solar Solutions Spain’s Paul Garrod says, but the main issue for his company after the State of Alarm came to an end was getting hold of stock. The restrictions on transport and movement meant shipping came to a halt. The situation is now getting back to normal, Paul explained, and Solar Solutions Spain is busy and working the same way as before the pandemic. But Paul admits that recent fresh outbreaks of the virus have got him concerned another lockdown could happen. “If there’s a second wave it will be worse than the first,” he believes, adding, “people need to adhere to the rules.”

Policlinica Omega, Campello DUSTY ATKINSON from Policlínica Omega, in Campello, was keen to point out that “as we are in healthcare we have been very much in demand as our clients wish to see their psychologist or nutritionist. Also, we offer Covid testing so that people can see if they have been infected with the virus and this has understandably been extremely popular.” She added, “We were very well prepared when we opened and put in place all the health measures required. People were nervous at first but once they realised they were in a

Steve Brooks, Swift Removals Costa Blanca South SWIFT REMOVALS was very busy pre-lockdown, the company’s Steve Brooks told EWN. When the State of Alarm came into force there were two weeks when the company wasn’t allowed to operate, but then government authorisation as a transporter of essential items allowed the firm to continue working. The problem, Steve explained, was that while clients’ belongings could be moved, people themselves had to stay put. The result was very crowded Swift Removals’ warehouses until the restrictions were eased. Business is now 80 per cent back to normal, Steve reported. “We’re very lucky. We have a lot of local work, moving people around Spain.” Steve says the recent outbreaks make the future an unknown. “You can’t control the future, so you just have to see what tomorrow brings.”

Samantha Bayley SAMANTHA runs her own business The Painted Kitchen where she renovates existing kitchens and also works with husband Joe who supplies completely new kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms. Her feeling is that generally, business is quite good as during lockdown people fell out of love with their kitchens and are now looking for a change.

Costa del Sol

THE name Big M Promotions is synonymous with Martyn Wood who has been promoting live events on the Costa del Sol for many years. Speaking to him about the new normality highlights a problem that has affected so many promoters and entertainers in Spain as basically, his diary which was originally full for the spring and summer of this year is empty. He has one event, the Celtic Night in the Mijas Pueblo Auditorium on August 8 and then nothing at the moment until November, but he is keeping cheerful and hoping things will get easier soon.

Costa Blanca North safe environment they felt more assured.” When asked about the weekend’s news that has changed the quarantine rules for UK travellers Dusty said “this will be a boost as we are able to provide people with the results as if they have already had the virus and it can give them a sense of relief. “Personally, I feel that if people see businesses, shops etc following the health measures, a security guard enforcing masks and supplying hand gel they feel more at ease and safer to shop or enter those premises.”

Costa del Sol Some however, especially those who live overseas, are a bit nervous and are postponing work for a few months to see how travel develops. Whilst in lockdown, the couple were eventually able to be in the workshop which meant they could prepare material for installation which they are now doing subject to strict hygiene rules.

OTHERS THINK IT

EWN 35

If it quacks like one ....

IT’S been a, ‘just when you think you’ve heard it all’ week! Cressida Dick (yep!) the Met Police Commissioner, has announced they are considering dropping the terms Jihad and Islamist from the description of acts of terror and will instead refer to these atrocities as - wait for it. ‘Faith claimed terrorism’! In other words, in the event of a terrorist attack, they are presumably going to have some form of brain dead meetings to decide what religion or cult is responsible. What a load of lily livered, intelligence insulting humbuggery. Listen up, you PC riddled bunch of utter clowns. If some toe rag attacks or blows up a bunch of innocent civilians screaming ‘Allah Akbar, ‘or ‘death to the infidels’ the perpetrator is an Islamist involved in the execution of Jihad. OK? You don’t need any high level expensive board meeting to work out some way of renaming them out of existence simply because the less militant members of a religion may be ‘offended.’ When our adversaries screamed Heil Hitler as they bombed and ravaged innocent countries during the Second World War did you see Churchill and his War

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

30 July - 5 August 2020

HOMELESS: PC ‘morons’ recommend referring to people living on the streets as ‘outdoor urban dwellers.’ Cabinet holding a meeting to discuss whether the less militant Germans may be offended if we referred to the perpetrators as Nazis? If it quacks like one and walks like one it is one, ok? We’re in a war here and the sooner our pathetic naive leaders come to terms with it, the sooner we may have just a chance of finishing up with our culture and heritage intact. Political Correctness will be the death knoll of the West. Just recently a children’s

entertainer friend of mine was instructed to no longer refer to his audience as Girls and Boys! What the hell does he do when he wants audience participation from different genders? Ask for the ‘not sures’ to come up on stage!? I believe we’ve confused our youngsters quite enough already, without turning their light entertainment into some adult LGBT conflict. I personally think it’s a form of child abuse. If I were at the helm I would seriously be

pursuing some form of prosecution. At this point I’d just like to throw in a few more PC changes recommended by similar morons. Homeless people should be referred to as ‘Outdoor Urban Dwellers.’ Bisexual prostitutes become ‘Equal Opportunity Sex Workers.’ The poor are ‘Economically Marginalised.’ Being drunk is ‘Chemically Inconvenienced.’ Criminals are ‘Behaviorally Challenged.’ Fat people, ‘Metabolic Overachievers.’ Housewives, ‘Domestic Engineers.’ Illegal aliens, ‘Undocumented Migrants.’ And so on. Makes you lose the will don’t it? Excuse me while I go off to get severely chemically inconvenienced! Said my final goodbye to my dear friend Geoffrey Kenion this week. The ceremony was held in the picturesque tranquility of Soller cemetery and was attended by many of his close friends and family. His loving wife Sallyann oversaw the whole occasion with a wonderful dignified serenity and children Simon, Joseph, Rachel and Ella, all delivered moving tributes to their Dad. A fitting send off to a much loved and respected local icon. RIP Geoff. They did you proud. Keep the faith. Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

These Foolish things Remind Me of You LAMBE-MURPHY

IT’S TIME: To practise writing letters.

their phone, whilst walking on the street. People who can’t pronounce certain words that they frequently use. Usually designer brand names. People who make a big deal about being in the ‘Priority Queue’ when boarding an airplane. People who vape. People who forget an item at the supermarket checkout, and then rush off for 10 minutes returning with numerous items. People with fake food allergies. Name droppers. Middle aged women who dress like their daughters. Of course, there were many more, but sadly as I sipped my first espresso the following morning, and attempted to ignore the staggering number of empty wine bottles, ready for recycling, I was unable to recall them. Furthermore, as I tried to decipher the drunken scribbles of notes we had made while in midflow the previous night, I realised that per haps another thing that bothers me, is how my own handwriting has deteriorated so badly over time. These days it’s an artfor m that has been replaced by one’s ability to type quickly into a phone. I have decided that it’s time I began to practise writing letters once again. Yes, it may take me some time, but at least it will keep me out of trouble.

Only time will tell... MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man

GAVIN OK, I’m just going to come out with it if I hold a door for you and you haven’t got the decency to say thank you, shame on you. Basic human manners are still very much noticeable by their absence. Sad to say, it’s always snooty females who are the culprits of this social crime. Recently, I hosted a dinner at home for some friends, and over the course of the evening, it became something of a focus group meeting. The subject - what, in 2020, really bothers you? We laughed at some points, and scowled at others. Some, such as the ungrateful door holding, being as old as water, while other points far more modern. Anyhow, I decided to let you know what really bothers us at this moment in time. The group made up of Spanish, Italian, Irish and English. Male and female - aged between 30 and 50. In no particular order - People who use far too much perfume. Men who dine shirtless at beachclubs. Women who wear short shorts, past the age of 25. Those who are unable to correctly hold a knife and fork. People who travel to foreign countries, yet refuse to try local cuisine. Mothers pushing baby buggies directly at you, as they take over the pavement. People who get photographed next to super cars they clearly don’t own. People who wear face masks with their noses uncovered. Girls who screech and scream when they meet. People who clearly carry fake handbags, with serious attitude. Those who are unable to hold their alcohol. Snobbery. Badly behaved kids in restaurants. People who refuse to clean up after their dogs. People who tell you how much their car / watch / shoes etc cost. People who pout in photographs. People who walk along the street with their phone call on loudspeaker. People who don’t look up from

30 July - 5 August 2020

IF I hadn’t seen this happen live on TV I would not believe it. When asked during a White House press briefing on Tuesday about the federal prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell for her alleged role in recruiting, grooming and sexually abusing underage girls, President Donald Trump responded, “I just wish her well, frankly.” To reassure me that I wasn’t hallucinating to this bizarre response to the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged accomplice, Trump said it again: “I wish her well.” Maxwell has been charged with helping Jeffrey Epstein commit serious and grotesque crimes relating to the sexual abuse of children. Trump was personal friends with and used to party with Epstein. Trump once declared, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” I don’t care what you Trump supporters think of me. You cannot tell me these are

words you want to hear coming from the POTUS. He absolutely raving insane. It is also outrageous that he has White House press conferences and talks about the pandemic without having either of his medical experts on stage with him. A fellow doctor said the other day that, in the world of infectious diseases, Anthony Fauci is like a God. His knowledge is second to none. But obviously there is only room for one God to be at the lectern answering questions. Trouble is Trump’s answers are mostly lies and if not an out and out lie they are simply wrong. Even Fox, his friendly news channel, ripped his lies to pieces. When being interviewed by Chris Wallace he simply called Trump out on every lie he told and there were quite a few. He has done a complete 180 on mask wearing. The list of rubbish he talks is endless. The only time he seems to make any sense is when reading off a tele prompter. Even then he reads like a child stumbling over words and repeating himself. When challenged he will use his favourite phrase ‘lots of people have said.’ He never actually says who they are. So bring it on folks trying to defend him, to me he is a dangerous man and time will tell who’s right.

PERFECT BALANCE

OUR VIEW Knee jerk reaction

THE weekend brought a shock, sharp turnaround in the decision the UK government made about lifting quarantine measures by an action to reinstate them, leaving British travellers and Spanish businesses reeling. The decision was made due to two days of high numbers of infection across Spain that were mainly seen in Catalonia. As Monday arrived and the UK had firmly put their foot down Spanish authorities reassured that these outbreaks were under control. Just as Brits were becoming accustomed to following the health measures in Spain and their panic began to dissipate, Boris Johnson’s own panic set in and a decision seems to have been made without sufficient time to allow people to even take in what is happening. Sure, he could be making the right decision, he could be protecting his people. If this is the case we should definitely be giving him a virtual pat on the back instead of shooting him down or attacking him. Some might also see an ulterior motive in that the government made the decision to protect themselves from any further derision with the way they handle the virus in the early stages. In making this decision have they added another nail in the coffin for Spain’s tourism industry? If so, will this drag the UK’s travel industry with it? Spain’s Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol were understandably seeing lower numbers than recent years gracing their beaches and bars, but companies had begun to find ways of working round that. Many had sunk the last of their money into remodelling to cover for safety measures in the gamble that it would pay off and lucky for some it had. Maybe we should take a little time and ask that if our governments are just as confused as we are and can make such urgent and overreactive decisions, is there a chance they could easily lift it again before the week is through?

DEAR Euro Weekly News, I have to say that I entirely agree with Kevin Park (Issue 1827) about visitors not bothering about wearing masks or social distancing. They march down the middle of the pavement crowded together and we have to move out of the way, very often into the road. Twice this week, I have gone into the centre of Fuengirola for shopping purposes. I was truly shocked and angered that so many people are simply not taking this virus seriously. Not only young people but older couples and whole families with no protection at all. And unfortunately, KP is quite right: they were all foreign tourists. Nearly all Spanish people, including visitors, were wearing masks and staying apart. This was mid-morning: what on earth must it be like at night when folk have had a few drinks? How many more deaths do they need in order to realise that this virus is still around? We, who live here, have abided by the rules for over three months. We didn’t go out except for essential shopping, we didn’t meet up with friends or family and so many businesses couldn’t survive and went bust. We didn’t go through all that for some uncaring, irresponsible visitors to come along and ruin it all again. Just imagine if the Costa del Sol had to

BREAKING NEWS: Spanish Municipality Forced Back into Lockdown as Cases Surge Spain’s political elite seem hell bent on destroying the economy for all private sectors !! Whilst all the public sectors are just about to take August off as a holiday !!! Socialism at its finest .

Yet Another Spanish Region Makes Masks Mandatory at All Times Totally agree. Government is doing all of these things for us.

SK WE CARE: Are you wearing your mask? go into another lockdown. I know the coast needs tourism, but there must be a balance between business and health. Perhaps the rules in their home countries are different, perhaps they simply don’t know the rules here regarding masks and social distancing or perhaps they just don’t care. They are on holiday... it doesn’t apply to them. Kind regards, Lynn Hopkins Fuengirola

Defend your right HI Leapy, I am a frequent visitor to Spain (I have an apartment in Fuengirola) and a regular reader of your EWN column. I do not necessarily agree with all that you write, only about 95 per cent of it, but defend your right of freedom of speech to say it. I remember you as a pop singer in my youth (that dates me) but you have excelled yourself as a journalist, controversial at times, but always writing what some people are afraid to even think. I must put you on the same pedestal as Richard Littlejohn of the Daily Mail, both of you reaching a far greater audience than me just talking to my mates. It’s time more people listened to the pair of you and said enough of this BLM, woke or whatever minority group (aided and abetted by rent-a-crowd) is shouting the loudest. There should be a national poll as per the one carried out by EWN re your column. Do the British public want to put up with this rubbish? Keep up the good work, the mouthpiece of the majority of us.

Puzzle praise DEAR Euro Weekly News, A brief note to you and your colleagues to say thank you for forwarding the crosswords during the lockdown. I do them every week but during this time we were unable to go out since we are over 70. Many thanks again Sincerely Valerie

“I felt safer in Spain than I do at home in Hull,” said holidaymaker We used to live in Spain for 12 years, and I would definitely feel safer in Spain, their regime is so much stricter than here. Every thing about Spain is head and shoulders above anything the UK could do and their health service is second to none.

Heartfelt sorrow for PC Harper’s family and the evil scumbags who were laughing on camera, they knew exactly what they did. I hope they get life sentences, even that wouldn’t be enough!

BREAKING NEWS: Quarantine chaos for tourists! Surely this should just be Brits who want to go to Barcelona or the affected areas, the Costa del Sol is better than the UK. This is getting ridiculous.

Stranded in Spain - ‘Devastated’ Newlywed Couple React to UK Quarantine Rules Both my March and May holidays were cancelled. I didn’t bother booking another one as I knew all this uncertainty would continue. In addition, the health risks either way have yet to be proven. Of course I feel sorry for those affected. However, the writing has been on the wall for some time and people continued to book. I’d leave overseas travel until next year if it is non-essential. The uncertainty is unhealthy. Time to fold and leave the table.

THERE’S been much debate in the UK about the pros and cons of returning to the office versus working from home after weeks of mixed messages from the government. Reports of both the death and survival of the office have, though, been greatly exaggerated. Both offer distinct advantages for employer and employee and it’s likely that, in the short to medium term, we’ll see some kind of halfway house emerge depending on individual needs. Ultimately, the yardstick will be whether people can maintain productivity from home. If so, why would businesses not size their real estate requirements accordingly or even give up on offices altogether? Then, there is al-

30 July - 5 August 2020

IS THE OFFICE ON LIFE SUPPORT?

OFFICE ENVIRONMENT: There are added benefits to working with colleagues. so the issue that companies could be based just about anywhere and, depending on their role, so might employees.

On the other hand, despite the commute and (often boring) meetings, offices do offer many people something extra.

They’re more than just a place to do business: they’re meeting points for socialising and bouncing ideas off one another. As

much as we love our family, we need to spend some time apart as well. For many, working from home has been great, but at the same time there is a real sense of artificiality to life about it. It’s a bit like what school summer holidays felt like: a welcome break from the norm, but deep down we knew that, eventually, we had to return to school in order to progress with our life. Yes, the office can be a stressful place, but the idea of the years ahead consisting of no contact with colleagues, other than via a screen, fills many with dread. Is this, then, the beginning of the end for the world’s greatest work-

EWN 43

f r o m - h o m e experiment? Perhaps. But as in most cases, one size doesn’t fit all. It all depends on our different needs and various kinds of work. Let’s hope that, in future, the workplace will allow much more flexibility that meets the needs of both employer and employee. It’s long past time to start thinking out-of-thebox.

Can’t or don’t want to wear a face mask? This new face covering could be the answer. WHETHER you’re walking down the street, or working in a restaurant, we are all experiencing the discomfort of wearing a face mask, especially in the m i d d l e o f s u m m e r. S o check this out… ClearShield is a new, clear ‘easy breath’ face shield for anyone who prefers not to, or can’t, wear cloth masks but still wants to protect themselves and others. It’s light and comfortable, perfect for anyone with mask issues or who needs their smile to be seen. Restaurant/bar staff, real estate agents, vets, and many other professionals find it impossible to work effectively in a cloth mask. ClearShield’s light and airy design uses fluid dynamics to manage the airflow around the mouth and nose. Tests prove it can provide comparable shielding to cloth masks without their disadvantages. Unlike ClearShield, cloth masks protect others more than the wearer, this is because they soak up the virus from the air and any surfaces they touch before transferring it straight onto your mouth and nose. It’s why they need regular replacement or washing. Children, some adults and most animals find masks downright scary, and who wants to look like a medic, especially if you’re going out for the evening, or having your ID checked. ClearShield is quick and easy to clean using soap and water or a sanitising wipe, so it’s longer lasting than disposable masks. The popular blue threeply ‘Surgeons’ mask needs replacing every four hours making them expensive, inconvenient and wasteful! You don’t need to take ClearShield off to talk and it doesn’t get hot, itchy or moist,

An alternative to fabric masks.

EASY TO WEAR: And smart too.

so you’re less likely to touch your face or fiddle with it. ClearShield won’t fog up your glasses and it’s designed to let carbon dioxide out and clean air in ensuring you stay fresh and alert without the risk of hypercapnia (drowsiness caused by breathing in excess CO2).You can even enjoy a drink without removing your protection. ClearShield is a great solution for Spain’s 4.6 million asthma and COPD sufferers who currently put themselves and others at risk by going maskless (the government says “if you are in this high risk group DON’T protect yourself with a mask”). The hard of hearing have overwhelmingly reported that clear masks are much better than fabric when communicating. Great news for the one million people in Spain living with hearing loss. Maskne is a new type of acne caused by fabric masks but not by ClearShield. It’s caused by hot, sweaty masks rubbing on the skin. It’s untreatable because every time you wear a mask the damage gets worse. The only solution is to go maskless or wear ClearShield. Animals hate masks but love ClearShield. Animals take visual cues from your mouth and

ClearShield has been designed in line with National Government and these World health guidelines EU: European Centre for disease prevention and control advice for Public health authorities in EU/EEA countries and the UK. 8th April 2020. WHO: (2020). Advice on the use of face coverings in the context of COVID­19: interim guidance, 5 June 2020.

cloth masks make this impossible. ClearShield is ideal for pet lovers and veterinary administrators. Disposable face masks are creating a massive environmental and biohazard problem. The World Wildlife Foundation estimates that 10 million fabric masks (some infected with coronavirus) containing 40,000 kg of plastic are dumped into the environment every month. They’re made of a polypropylene/fabric mix that isn’t recyclable and they’ll take 20-30 years to decompose in landfill, or worse, in the sea. ClearShield is made of PET and PVC so at the end of its long life it’s easily recycled in the kerbside waste collection.

ClearShield is now available in Spain exclusively from CoolDeals

YOUR STARS

“The more I travelled the more I realised that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” Shirley MacLaine

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Your mind is as sharp as a razor this week, so woe betide anyone who tries to trick you. It's a great time to use your talents fully, particularly in regard to a business venture. It is possible that your strengths are a little unrecognised so don't be afraid to try something entirely new. A strong urge to take control keeps others on their toes.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This week is mainly concerned with financial matters, and it is easy to both save and make extra money. Keep your energy levels high by making the most of chances to exercise and get out in the fresh air. Your need to know exactly where you stand brings with it a danger of putting someone off romantically right at the start. Although your nononsense approach normally serves you well, in love you need more subtle methods.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The repayment of a favour should see you with extra money in your pocket. Holding on to it is your best bet. Trying to change someone close is so obviously not going to work that it is surprising you tried for so long. What you may be able to do, however, is to spend less time in their presence. Make sure that you get out with friends, if only for a few hours. It will brighten your spirits.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A summer social gathering turns up an old friend who makes an offer. Although you may feel unworthy, please be reminded of the times in the past when you have given them support. Certainly, it will be through others that real progress will be made. It is easy at this time of the year for someone of your intelligence to become bored. Through making a start on a longterm plan, it is possible to feel inspired.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Keep energy levels high by being at the hub of any social activities. Accept all invitations, however dull you feel that they may turn out and allow yourself to be surprised. Continue with any check-ups on your health, eating sensibly if you overindulged during the holiday. There is no better time to make that special effort.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) As you have decided to rearrange both your business and home life, it is a busy time, indeed. You enjoy a challenge so it will not worry you that other people have different ideas. Although you are not inclined to listen to silly whims, some things crop up time and again and have to be dealt with at some point.

47

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Concentrating on hearth and home gives you great satisfaction. As a born home-maker, you relish the idea of making something beautiful. This week it may be possible to show more of your skills when someone seeks your advice. This time it is on more of a personal note and you could end up helping with appearances.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Making a new start is not always the exciting thing that people imagine. When there are still old matters to be resolved, it takes the edge off the pleasure. It may be worth cooling off a new relationship until your social life is more settled. An urge to move around could be caused by your not facing a problem straight on.

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get both business and personal plans sorted out in the coming week. Thereafter, changes to your routine may be necessary, which is disruptive. The best-laid plans can need adjustment, so don’t beat yourself up over that. Spending extra time alone gives pause for thought and makes the next step so much clearer.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Someone close has ideas about how things should be at home this summer. Although you wish to show an interest, and should, they may be more 'hands on' than you. Do whatever your talents allow to help because this will not be forgotten. Your other half may be feeling sensitive, so tread carefully. What is at the root of it is likely to come to light as the week progresses.

The pleasure you will get from helping in the home this week should not be underestimated. What you have been thinking of as a chore turns out to be a great ball of fun. Youngsters may be involved at the weekend, so plan ahead to give them a big surprise. Appreciation is all around you at the moment and should be sending a nice glow through you. It's best not to overspend on something that could mean no return for you.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your relationships to others linked to the home environment are going well. Aim to build on that this week because the chance to make a real change to your surroundings opens up. Comfort is top of your agenda and the continuing sales give scope. Restlessness can be channelled into an energetic response when others seek help. Taking on a small charitable task which makes you smile and brings satisfaction.

SATURDAY BESTSELLING author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with this highly anticipated companion: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire’s point of view. When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, a love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella’s side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward’s version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun. Through Edward’s eyes, the tale takes on a new and decidedly dark twist. Meeting Bella is both the most unnerving and intriguing event he has experienced in all his years as a vampire. As we learn more fascinating details about Edward’s past and the complexity of his inner thoughts, we understand why this is the defining struggle of his life. How can he justify following his heart if it means leading Bella into danger?

DIONE LOCKYER AS a Mindset Mentor, I absolutely adore what I do. Helping other women overcome their fears is something I am so passionate about, but for the love of God, this crap has got to change! I have winged my business for a year now for fear of growing big and allowing that b**ch of a witch (the voice in my head) to take over my plans. Without sounded big-headed (ok, well maybe a little). I know I am an expert in my area. Not only through my studies, but also through my own dark experiences too. Imposter Syndrome Sucks!!!

30 July - 5 August 2020

Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud despite external evidence of their competence. This prevents many from reaching their potential. They may have well put a photo of me next to that definition in Wikipedia!! I have been so scared of growth and have allowed procrastination to delay my dreams. Last week, I had a complete meltdown. That’s right, a qualified and experienced Mindset Mentor, stood in front of the fridge, with the door wide open, with my head in my hands, I sobbed! I thought it was a delay in mourning the passing of my dog, or the fact, one of my other dogs had killed my favourite stray cat that I fed, but it was neither! It was fear I have been working on the content of my free five days, women only masterclass and full eightweek course for three months and I was scared of releasing it! The

MASTERCLASS: You will be wecomed with open arms. voice in my head had started again... What if no one joined in? What it it was a flop? What if I failed? I am amazing at helping others, but sometimes I forget to take my own advice. It again fell down to the worry of other people’s opinions. I feared being spoken about

negatively, I feared being judged, I wanted to quit! What would quitting achieve? Absolutely nothing! Quitting is the easy option. Quitting is NOT in my dictionary. There was no way on God’s earth that I was going to sit here in 20 years’ time and say to myself, “I wish I had done that!!” It was time to reach out to my trusted best friend, My journal. Put pen to paper and write down my feelings and fears. Next to each fear, I asked the same question that I ask my clients, What physical evidence do I have that makes this fear a reality? The answer... ZERO! There was no evidence at all! I decided it was time to get over myself! I set up the event, added the content and with butterflies in my tummy, I released it. This was it. The moment I feared, yet I faced it come what may. Within 24 hours, 84 women had requested to join and the num-

bers are increasing daily! The voice was wrong, but then I knew that really. I just allowed it to become louder than my beliefs. My whole point to this week’s column is split into two topics: 1. If you are a businesswoman, please do not be afraid to admit to your fears. Share your flaws, you do not need to paint that perfect picture 24/7. There is no such thing as perfect. Be proud of your imperfections as that is what makes you grow. 2. To any woman who is reading this. You’ve got this! Life isn’t a rehearsal, so don’t act as if it is. Achieve that dream, push through your fears and give the big middle finger to anyone who says you can’t! If you would like to be a part of my five-day free masterclass - Set yourself free from a negative mindset, request to join my women-only Facebook group ‘The Positive Mindset Community.’ You will be welcomed with open arms.

If you would like to dig a little deeper into your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours or you would like to complete one of my courses to live a happy and healthy life with yourself, please email me coachingwithdione@gmail.com.

When we go to bed our body temperature drops to encourage sleep, and extreme temperatures whether hot or cold can make it harder to get to sleep or wake us up in the night. To avoid this, Del Rio recommends the temperature in the bedroom should be between 18 and 22 ºC with humidity levels of between 50 and 70 per cent. Use air con to cool the room down before bed time but don’t leave it on all night.

Other tips include drinking at least 1.5 litres of water per day to stay hydrated, having dinner two hours before bedtime, taking a cold shower before going to bed, sticking to normal routines and avoiding alcohol and caffeine before bed. Sleeping pills should be avoided if possible; however, meditation, relaxation and breathing techniques and plant-based remedies from the chemist can be useful for those still having trouble sleeping.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

WE’RE coming up to the birthday that I half-heartedly joked I’d never make, when I was 19, I am 29 years old this week… the big 30 next year!… Most people struggle through their mid-20’s, trying to find their career, the love of their lives, the right home, and the right friends. I’ve struggled to find the will to carry on fighting an uphill battle, instead. I ‘should’ be happy, or so I’m told. I have a fantastic family, a good job and I live in the sunshine. I have good days and bad days. But the bad days seem to roll into one at the moment with no end in sight. The lows feel inescapable, though. It’s like walking through thick tar. You can see the end of the road, but it feels impossible to reach it. Each step takes an inordinate amount of effort and each moment you’re stuck in the thick, sticky, black darkness, you feel yourself sinking lower and lower. There are warning signs. It’ll start with a nagging feeling of frustration, for me. Frustrated with the pace of life, frustrated with my home, frustrated with the food I eat, the body. And then it builds bigger and bigger a kind of inescapable fog, clouding my thoughts and not letting me sleep. Before I know it, I’m stuck in the deep black tar of a low and imagining cracks spreading across ceilings. Ideas, ideas and ideas keep popping into my head, they can be grandiose or, like mine, subtle, like watercolour paint mixing on a palette. They’re a lot less frightening when you realise what they are just an overa b u n -

dance of particular chemicals in your mind, tricking your head into over analysing every signal you have picked up. When I am happy, I will happily cook, bake, paint, laugh, joke, create, write and passionately debate almost anything. I will dance around the room and screech along to my favourite songs. When I’m not happy, I withdraw completely into myself and become a determined introvert. I don’t wish to do anything, and the effort of doing something is intensely crucifying. The problem is, it’s not a black and white kind of situation. When I’m sad, it’s not like everything ceases to amuse me. When I’m happy, it’s not like the world doesn’t occasionally bore me. So. 29. The age I never thought I’d reach. Never really wanted to reach. There are signs - as I’d known all along but never really wished to entertain - that I’m not going to get better. This is the long haul. Up, down, in never ending succession, for the rest of my days. It’s exhausting, you know? And I think the most troubling part is that even now, nearly 20 years after I realised I was different from the rest, and nine years after I was officially diagnosed, the world is still deeply distrustful of anyone with a mental illness. Is she reliable? Can we count on her? Will she let us down last minute? Wonder what her mood will be like today? So I think it’s safe to say Bipolar at 19 and Bipolar at 29 have two things in common; 1) loneliness in my diagnosis and 2) that the world is still not quite ready to be accommodating of bipolar (or perhaps, any mental illness). Love Ms Bipolar x

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala is cooking on the Barbecue!

An amazing presentation

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas www.thelittlegeranium.com THE weather has been so hot recently and although I am back in my little kitchen working hard, I do close on Sundays and Mondays and had some friends over for a barbecue. I pre-ordered some Tomahawk steaks, which is something we offer at The Geranium as a special a la carte option when we have them in stock. The Tomahawk steak is a rib eye with about 8/10 inches of bone, the ulti-

mate lollipop! It is usually about 3 or 4cm thick and weighs in at about one kilo or just over. Named because it allegedly resembles the Tomahawk axe, Tomahawk steak is becoming more and more popular. In the UK it is all the rage, especially with trendy restaurants. A Tomahawk is similar to a Cotes du Boeuf, a sharing slab of beautiful beef carved at your table. It is popping up in more places for the home cook too, with Marks and Spencer apparently jumping on the bandwagon, but you may struggle to get it over here unless you pre-order it with your butcher. The Tomahawk steak is

Football referee Mark Clattenburg loves a Tomahawk. an on-the-bone Rib Steak, cut from the fore-rib with the entire rib bone left. The long bone is Frenchtrimmed, leaving an amazing presentation, and a dinner table discussion point.

As it is a bone-in Rib Steak, it has quite a large amount of muscular fat, which gives it lots of flavour when cooked. Flavours are released from both the huge bone and the fat during roasting

to give a sweet gelatinous flavour. When it is cooked it will need resting for at least 10 minutes to let the juices settle and to ensure that it is not still a bit raw in the centre. When cooked and rested, hold the bone in one hand and cut along the bone lengthways to separate the meat from the bone. Slice the meat across the grain at a slight angle into slices about ½cm to 1cm thick and serve. It’s certainly not an everyday steak, visions of eating like the Flintstones appear when serving it and the guests are always impressed! So, the barbecue is ready and all you have to do now is follow my simple step-by-step instructions to

cook it and you will undoubtedly be the most popular friend to have on the Costa del Sol! One of our clients who loves a Tomahawk steak and always orders it is the celebrity football referee Mark Clattenburg who was in last week and had pre-ordered his Tomahawk. I cooked it on our kitchen mini barbecue and then through the oven covered in garlic butter. Dylan, my assistant and our fabulous young waiter, carved it for him at the table. This piece of beef is something a bit special, ideal for a barbecue with friends and to be honest you could easily get three portions out of one Tomahawk steak.

Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

Chef Steven’s Tomahawk steak rested and softer to the touch than when it came out of the oven. Now you can flash them back on the flaming barbecue for another two or three minutes each side, flipping them regularly and leave on for longer for more cooked and for only two minutes for medium rare. Put the steaks on a large wood board, slice and serve. Serve with Dijon mustard, Maldon salt, crispy fried onions (see below) and the garlic butter melting over the top.

Ingredients for four • 2 Tomahawk Steaks weighing approx. 1 kilo each • Maldon salt • Freshly milled black pepper • 1 small bunch of rosemary • 8 cloves of garlic peeled, crushed and sliced • Olive oil Instructions Heat an outdoor barbecue to the highest heat. Preheat your oven to 200ºC. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Use a generous amount of salt. Sear the steaks for two minutes on each side on the barbecue, letting the flames lick up the sides. You’ll know the steak is ready to flip when it releases easily from the grill. Transfer the steaks to a roasting tray. Roast with the rosemary and the garlic slices and some olive oil in the pre-heated oven for about 10 minutes or until the steaks reach an inter-

Garlic Butter Ingredients 1 pack of 250g unsalted butter softened at room temperature 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley Salt to taste (if using unsalted butter) 4 tablespoons of olive oil Method Put the minced garlic into a saucepan with the olive oil and gently simmer to cook the garlic lightly, do not colour it. It is only to take the bitterness out of the raw garlic. Add the softened butter into a small serving bowl, and mix with the garlic until combined. Spread some cling film over a work surface and put the butter onto it approx. 3cm thick. Roll up until the butter is even and cylindrical. Refrigerate and slice through cling film to serve but then remove cling film off each slice. Serve on top of the hot steaks from the barbecue before carving.

SUZANNE MANNERS YES I know Spain is hot and yes I know it is summer... but really... so soon. Is it me or is it hotter this year? A tad sweatier perhaps? Maybe my post menopausal body is finding it harder to adapt and my ability to control my own temperature is abating (although why I expect to be able to control anything in 2020 is a joke). I dutifully swim in the olympic sized public pool three times a week emerging from the chlorinated water sanctified and self congratulatory with aching muscles and a holier than thou strut from pool to shower (actually more of a stiff lope). Momentarily refreshed and when I say momentarily I mean mere nano seconds of refreshment before the sweat returns. My state of being since menopause jumped up and licked me all over my face with its liverish tongue has been characterised by dampness... and

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING THE more people we meet and the more we get to know about them the more opportunities can arise, hence my reminding you to follow our shows to help you make the most of every situation Monday 20 - Friday July 24, 2020 We visited the Marbella Football Academy Summer Camp and met Vicente del Bosque!!! I also chat with James Wheeler - Sports & Massage Therapist who visits people’s homes also for massages, specialising in Sports & Exercise Performance & Sport Rehabilitation. We chat with Garry Waite, author of ‘The Warm Warm’ and an autobiography ‘Half my Life’ which is available on Amazon and makes for an easy, entertaining read. Medium, healer and Minister Jan Siggs always sees things slightly differently to most and it makes for interesting viewing... We visit my choir, well actually it’s Karen Danzig’s Del Sol Singers - highly recommended socially and spiritually - singing is good for the soul!! A trip to Elviria to check out the Perla

head emitting not only steam, but rage and quick tears and the occasional foray into online shop-

ping for Desigual bags and Lalique jewellery, none of which I can comfortably afford. Due to financial constraints and the loss of my job the online shopping has been relegated like an overpaid footballer to the nether regions of my life...a place full of bad choices and unfortunate clothing. However the other symptoms of later womanhood stick around like an unwanted suitor (minus the flowers and bad sex) jumping out at me in moments of weakness. The unbound rage is a difficult one, especially when caused by nothing more than an odd shaped egg or a not quite cold glass of Cava. I have tried to be analytical about it, to explore the reason behind the rage and the extreme reaction created (which due to my overriding politeness mostly consists of a range of facial contortions and hands clamped over my mouth) but then the ‘Who gives a flying…’ symptom races in to save the day. Mostly the people around me tend not to notice (luckily or they

would not be around me much longer) but then most post menopausal women suffer from the least researched symptom, the sudden and dramatic invisibility that pops up and nestles in on your 50th birthday... so in fact nobody notices anyway... job done. At the height of my hot flushes I would dash out of shops, my face a glowing beacon lighting up the surrounding area, muttering nonsensical phrases and trying bravely to mop up the sweat, along with my eyebrows, which I still find difficult to keep on my face. The search for waterproof make-up has reached the stage of alchemy worthy of the keenest Necromancer. My bathroom is like a Hogwarts’ potion lab and my face a shining Picasso with shades of Dali. This heat serves to revive dormant symptoms. The menopause is like Pennywise the clown, once destroyed it continues to lurk inside the storm drain of the over-50 woman’s thickening but invisible body like a middle aged psychopath. Toodle pip!

Monday 27 - Friday July 31 This week Monday takes us to our new ZeroHero partner G-Wine in San Pedro, Sunday lunch at The Boardwalk and the Kempinski Hotel pool and gardens. Melissa Butler of the American College of Spain explains all the opportunities for studying in the American system for high School and University whilst still being here in Marbella.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.acecharity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at any time. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321)

SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So, if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.
