Positive Since that peak in late April, the number of workers on ERTE has been decreasing week by week, as the hospitality industry and other economic sectors have resumed activity. The partial recovery of the tourism, hospitality and services sector last month alone saw a return to work for 8,608 people, meaning Malaga has registered the greatest reduction in unemployment in Andalucia and the fifth largest at a national level. Covid-19 enforced ERTE is in principle extended until September 30, though the Minist e r o f L a b o u r, Yo l a n d a Aguilar, has said she is willing to extend this until necessary, although only for sectors whose activity continues to be severely affected by the pandemic, such as tourism. Meanwhile, one of Spain’s
leading supermarket chains, this week announced hundreds of temporary and permanent jobs in stores in 22 provinces, including Malaga and said it has chosen to accelerate the investments planned this year ‘to contribute to the economic recovery.’ To h e l p t h i n g s a l o n g t h e way closer to home, the Spanish government and the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) have come to a decision concerning the handing over of financial surpluses. Effectively, the agreement means that the National Treasury will be borrowing for 10 years, 65 per cent of all municipality money held by way of savings, but it will allow the towns and cities to keep 35 per cent towards Covid-19 recovery.

TIVOLI WORLD amusement park, in Benalmadena which was opened in 1972, has been troubled with financial problems for some time and has now been placed into Administration. Administrators have been called in to run the park which was owned by the International Company of Park and Attractions SA (Cipasa).

British Red Cross IT was in 1859 that Swiss philanthropist Henry Dunant saw for himself the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in Italy and decided that he had to do something to relieve the suffering that soldiers and civilians had to cope with. In 1863 he founded the Red Cross Society and in 1864 his ideas were incorporated into the Geneva Convention which still survives to the present day. The year 2020 sees the 150th anniversary of the British Red Cross which was created following the brutality of the Franco Prussian War and it became a society under Royal Charter in 1908 and continues to be closely connected with the Royal Family as the Queen is Patron and Prince Charles President. Nowadays it is not so involved with the armed forces (although the Ministry of Defence owns the rights to the actual Red Cross), but is involved in assisting all of those in need in both the UK and across the world.

Door-to-door MORE than 200 hospitality businesses in Fuengirola have benefited from the council’s free door-to-door glass collection service. The initiative was launched in 2018, and last year alone 554 tonnes of glass was collected - an average of 46 tonnes a month. “Fuengirola continues with its free doorto-door glass collection service launched thanks to the collaboration the council has with the Commonwealth of Municipalities of the Costa del Sol and the Ecovidrio company,” said Councillor for Urban Cleaning and Ecology, Javier Hidalgo. “Glass is collected door to door in the catering establishments of Fuengirola. Technicians from the Ecovidrio company visit the establishment, leave them buckets so that the hotelier can collect the glass and, around two or three times a week, the operators collect them,” he added. “We are going to continue insisting on this type of campaign so that little by little all the catering establishments in Fuengirola recycle 100 per cent,” he promised. Any businesses interested contact the cleaning department on 952 582 320 or cleaning@fuengirola.org.

Heartfelt messages WELL-WISHERS across the Costa del Sol have sent heartfelt messages and are praying for the families of the victims who lost loved ones in Beirut. More than 100 people were killed in the massive explosions that ripped through the Lebanese capital on Tuesday, August 4 thousands more were injured, many admitted to hospital in a critical condition. It is understood a ‘welder’ sparked the warehouse fire that ignited 2,700 tonnes of highly explosive chemicals ‘seized from a ship’ causing a three kiloton blast - a fifth the size of the Hiroshima bomb. Margeret Dickinson from Fuengirola contacted EWN: “I had to email this to you at EWN as I cannot speak for emotion - I have cried all night for the victims, girls, boys, mothers and fathers, grandparents and most of all, little babies. I pray to God they are all in heaven now, in peace and without pain. We send messages of love and hope for the swift recovery of the people still in the hospital, and to tell them we are thinking of them, they are NOT alone.” Lebanese restaurants in the area closed on the news of the explosions, many are believed to have relatives or friends living in the capital.
Three Arrested AN investigation commenced in the middle of July in Marbella when a security guard was threatened and had a pistol pointed at him. After reporting this to the National Police, a decision was made to try to trace the culprits and they were identified due to their posting of images of their weapons on social media. Perhaps surprisingly the guard had not recognised them, as all three were found to live in the urbanisation that he patrolled.

Those who have been reading the paper for more than two decades, can confirm that the slogan “We Lead, Others Follow” has been the clear message promoted by EWN for many years. In this case therefore never a truer phrase has been uttered and those who have misappropriated it would be more believable if they came up with their own tag line.
The aftermath of the fire. ONE family had a lucky escape when a fire broke out near to their property in the Benahavis area last Sunday (August 2). Firefighters quickly arrived on the scene and managed to protect their house, but they lost their garage and utility room which were adjacent to the main house. No-one was hurt, but all of their tools and camping equipment as well as a washing machine were lost and the garden itself will need to be remodelled. Anita Verhoogt who lives in the property with her husband and young son Mitchell wrote on her Facebook page, how grateful they were for the fantastic efforts made by the fire brigade to put the fire out before it got to their house. In addition, they left a tender nearby for several hours in case the fire came back to life.

Spain’s Ex-King Exiles Himself ROYAL SCANDAL: Juan Carlos I will leave Spain.
Credit: Twitter @Morelos
Beaches at full capacity TOURISTS may not be arriving in their droves, but the first Sunday in August saw a number of Costa del Sol beaches reaching capacity quickly. The Spanish enjoy the beaches and there are plenty of ‘Staycationers’ in the area, with a large number of second home owners from both Madrid and Sevilla already ensconced and looking to soak up the sun and sea.
The main beaches that did reach capacity were mainly those where there are plenty of holiday home owners, so the busiest beaches were in Benalmadena, Marbella, Sabinillas and Torremolinos according to reports from aforocostadelsol.es. Other towns along the coast were busy but not overcrowded and there was plenty of room on most of the beaches in Malaga City.
AFTER a series of scandalous leaks about ex-King Juan Carlos’ corruption, the former head of the Royal family has decided to exile himself and leave Spain. This decision has been taken to help his son, the current reigning monarch, King Felipe VI rule without scandal. A series of alleged corrupt and immoral actions have come to light over the past few months, bringing with it reputational damage to the monarchy in Spain. The former king expressed his decision to move in a statement which was issued on Monday.
In the letter, he conveys that “his desire to be of service to Spain” is exactly what “inspired” his “reign” and that “in the face of public repercussion that is generated due to past events of” his “private life,” he has taken the “thoughtful decision to move, at this time, outside of Spain.” This decision has not been taken lightly “but with great serenity” and the former King who reigned upon Spain for “almost 40 years” contends that he has “always wanted the best for Spain and the Crown.”

SALUTE to
Annette Skou Credit: Twitter

by John Smith IN March 1985, a multilingual young woman living in Mijas Pueblo saw an advert from the Mijas Council looking for a translator. At first, she wasn’t sure but as she spoke six languages (Danish, English, Spanish, German, Norwegian and Swedish) she thought that she stood a chance of getting the job. There were 60 applicants who went through a number of interviews and tests before the final three were chosen and the now very well-known Annette Skou was appointed and took her role in the old Pueblo town hall just as the foreign visitor boom started. At that time there was no foreign press and so many people would arrive at the town hall asking for advice about living in Spain that she was inundated and the council agreed that

rather than leave her as a translator, she should become the Mijas Foreigners Department, probably the first across
the Costa del Sol. When it got to the stage that there were regular queues waiting to speak to her, it was agreed that the department should be expanded and the other two who had been on the translator shortlist came to work with her. In 1987, the department was moved to the new town hall in La Cala de Mijas and the role of the department changed so that Annette was able to set up special events and she inaugurated the first International Day to encourage residents from different countries to share their culture. There were other cultural events to learn about Spanish history and customs, excursions, concerts and festivals of international cuisine and as the years passed so she was able to open an
office in Calahonda as well as expanding the department’s presence in La Cala. Next on the agenda was to form a group to try to help cope with the victims of domestic violence and she recruited some 40 volunteers to help foreigners who don’t speak Spanish to translate for them in hospitals and with official bodies. She has been delighted with the way in which the foreign press has helped to spread important information to foreign residents and visitors and gave a particular thanks to Euro Weekly News for all that it has done to disseminate council news. Now after nearly 36 years of service, Annette Skou has just retired from council service and is looking forward to the future with her Spanish artist husband, professional chef son and her large family in Denmark. Annette won’t however be spending her time just on herself as she is a very active person, a member of the soroptimists and she intends to volunteer with groups that exist to help others. She is very generous with her praise for all who she has met over the years including past councillors and mayors, consulates in Malaga and different groups and organisations. Her place will be taken by colleague Katja Thirion and we at the EWN Media Group wish Katje all the best and take this opportunity to thank Annette for all that she has done for the community during her time with the council.

Support for UK nationals in Spain through major information campaign and one-to-one assistance INFORMATION CAMPAIGN THE UK Government has launched a public information campaign across Europe to help UK nationals prepare for the end of the UK’s transition period on December 31. UK nationals living in Spain will receive information about specific actions they need to take to keep their rights and access to services in Spain, including around residency, healthcare, driving licences and passports. The campaign will use multiple channels including Facebook, digital media and newspaper and radio advertising - in urging people to take necessary action to protect their rights so that they can continue living, working and travelling in Europe after the transition period. This builds on the work the British Embassy and Consulates have already been doing to support UK Nationals in Spain. Hugh Elliott, British Ambassador to Spain is one of several British Ambassadors from across Europe, who is featured in a video encouraging UK nationals to take action which can be found here. UK Nationals Support Fund Following the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, three organisations in Spain have received funding to provide practical support to at-risk UK nationals to complete their residency applications in Spain and secure their rights under the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement. Age in Spain, Babelia and Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (IOM) are each receiving government funding to support those who need additional help to complete the paperwork required for residency applications. This may include pensioners, people with disabilities, those living in remote areas or who have mobility difficulties, and those who require help with language translation or interpretation.
British Ambassador Hugh Elliott welcomed the initiative: “Supporting UK nationals is one of our highest priorities and the assistance available through this fund builds on the support that we are already providing at the British Embassy and through our network of consulates. We are delighted that this project will help the most vulnerable UK nationals get the support they need to protect their residency rights and continue to live safely here in Spain. “UK nationals should visit our Living in Guides on gov.uk where they can find more information on the steps they need to take and how to access support.” This project is funded by the UK Government as part of the UK National Support Fund (UKNSF), which has made available a total of £3 million for charities and organisations to provide practical support for UK nationals living in the EU. Residents in countries including Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy and Poland will also benefit. The services available for people who need this additional support include: • answering questions about residency applications, such as the documents required and application procedure • guiding individuals through the process, if necessary • supporting people facing language barriers or difficulty accessing technology IOM will cover Andalucia, Madrid and Murcia, Babelia will cover Alicante, and Age in Spain will cover Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. There will also be information provided through the organisations’ websites and helplines, which will be available for people across Spain.

Many presidents asked for common actions to be taken regarding Covid health and safety as currently there is no coordination or unification between regions which can be confusing for both residents and those travelling into different areas. As soon as Spain entered the ‘New Normality’ the central government ceded all the competencies back to the Autonomous Regions.

that the 17 presidents are making statements which are confusing and creating sensationalist headlines and general misleading news on social media platforms, there is a much larger problem. Overall there was no consensus with the Health and Safety measures.
On the other hand, Mr Sanchez did state that the Central government would handle the recovery fund that was coming from Europe, in this case, the 17 presidents were keen to handle their own budgets. Just like the budget from Europe, it would be logical to think that the central
gover nment coordinated the so-called ‘New Normality’ until we are back to the old normal. Considering that, it would be much easier for the general public to understand. At the plenary session of the conference, Sánchez stated that an Inter-ministerial Committee will be set up chaired by the President of the Government. He also specified that a Recovery Fund Monitoring Unit will be set up at the Office of the Presidency of the Government and a highlevel group will structure public-private collaboration. The Minister for the Treasury will head up the sector conference with the regional governments and cities, to establish multi-tier collaboration. Local authorities will also be able to take part in this governance process.

THREE OPTIONS: Back to medicals and training.
THE management of Malaga FC have issued a formal statement with regards to the possibility of refund of the cost of season tickets when games were played without spectators. Whilst appreciating the feelings of the fans, its financial situation does not allow a straight refund and it is left with three options which have been arrived at in the knowledge that there is no legal obligation to offer any compensation.
Option 1 is that once games return to normal, the club will give each season ticket holder six free tickets which can be used for a single match or for six matches subject to space. Option 2 is a straight 20 per cent discount for those who renew their season ticket for the coming season. Option 3 is for the fans to take neither option and the club will retain all money paid for season tickets and if no preference is made by holders by August 31, option 3 will apply.
Estepona bullfight goes ahead THE first bullfight sanctioned to take place following the release from lockdown took place in Estepona on Saturday August 1 with a lot more
spectators than protestors. A local group Estepona Antitaurina collected more than 7,000 signatures calling for the fight to be banned but surprising-
ly national animal bodies such as PACMA (an animal political party) and AnimalNaturalis made no comment on their websites. There was a small demonstration outside the bullring, but images don’t even suggest a police presence and it must have been a little disappointing for those so opposed to the treatment of the bulls that they didn’t receive greater support. Reports from the pressure group suggest that there was little sign of promised social distancing within the bullring and that although there were some areas which were clear, there were others where spectators were literally ‘cheek by jowl’ although many wore masks. Six bulls were ‘disposed’ of by the three popular matadors and the crowd itself was composed of adults of all ages.

Bank losses ALL Spanish banks are reporting a significant drop in profits for the first half of 2020 due to the lack of business caused by the lockdown. Many anticipate that even with a recession, income will increase in the second half.
Pooled profits SPANISH pool manufacturer Fluidra has seen a boom in sales following the release from lockdown and the fact that many Spaniards are reluctant to travel abroad for their holidays. The heatwave has also helped increase the demand.

Spanish Economy in Recession WHILST analyst and government economists expected that Spain would suffer serious economic problems in the first half of 2020, many have been surprised at the size of the drop in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) has released infor mation showing that the actual fall in the second quarter of the year was 18.5 per cent, much greater than the forecast 16.6 per cent which was in itself worrying. When you consider the incredi ble way in which the Spanish econ
omy had grown for 24 consecutive quarters and was approaching its situation prior to the 2008 eco nomic crisis, this is not good news. Looking forward and taking into account the first two quarters re sults, the end of 2020 sees a 22 per cent drop and Spain is entering in to the deepest recession it has known. There was some hope of a tourist recovery when Britain opened the ‘safe corridor’ but the imposition shortly after of the need to selfquarantine when re turning to the UK from Spain has
LEGALLY SPEAKING
seriously affected the situation. Certainly, holidaymakers and second home owners from other parts of Europe are visiting the country, but the British do repre sent the largest percentage of visi tors and therefore any recovery will be marred by the nonappear ance. One area of good news is that whilst acknowledging that 2020 will have to be something of a write off economically, the Span ish government will receive grants from the European Union and be lieves that 2021 will see the return to economic growth.
Gibraltar makes £20m
Can he fight tax agency? Since 2015 I have kept a file on the UKSpain tax treaty of 2013 and the controversy about declara tions of civil service pensions, whether from June 12, 2014, or January 1, 2015. Which is it? Now I have been hit with a penalty of €2,180 for allegedly NOT declaring my public service pension for 2014. Given that I only received £7,000 in that period it seems extraordinary. The appeal to Ha cienda is exhausting and has been going on since Novem ber 2019. David’s answer to an earlier enquiry omits the possibility of invoking Article 25, which HMRC has recom mended. My income is the Public Service pension and UK state pension, the same income as in 2014. For 2019 they refunded me €5.60! They continue to deduct the penalty amount monthly from my bank account. I B (Costa del Sol) The tax agency fi YOU AND THE LAW nally declared that IN SPAIN the treaty was in ef fect for all of 2014. Invoking Article 25 will not help. If the tax agency has al ready garnisheed your bank account, your legal recourse is to initiate a ‘contenciosoadministrativo’ procedure, in which a citizen acts against the state. My own case took three and a half years.

FOR some time there has been significant disquiet on the Rock over the number of new cars taking up space in what are supposed to be pub lic car parks near the centre, but the Gibraltar government has struck a £20 million deal to sell space and release central parking. Local firm, the Bassadone Automotive Group has agreed terms for the acquisition of two large areas, with one comprising the entire lower level underground car park and part of the upper level un derground parking at the Lath bury Sports Facility well away from the congested centre. The other is part of the Eu
ropa Business Centre at the Dockyard, adjacent to the new premises being redevel oped by the Bassadone Group to house its new showrooms, offices and warehouses. In addition, the govern ment has been advised by the Bassadone Group that it in tends to relocate part of its in ternational business from Por tugal to the new premises at the Dockyard, thus allowing it to take advantage of secure storage facilities close to its highly specialised workshops. Bassadone currently em ploys 320 staff in Gibraltar and this will increase with the opening of the new facility and transfer of business.

This will provide electric ve hicle drivers with charging points every 100 kilometres and charging infrastructure in the country’s main towns and cities. The remainder of the sta
tions will be installed gradually over the next three years until 2023, reaching 8,500 publicly accessible charging points. All of these will be on roads or in public car parks with open ac cess for drivers.

BoE rate decision in the spotlight Staying on top of the latest currency news can help you time your transfers more effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks…

Latest currency news After dropping at the start of July, the GBP/EUR exchange rate has re covered ground over the last couple of weeks, with GBP/EUR moving from 1.09 to 1.11. EUR/GBP has fluctuated between 0.89 and 0.91. GBP/USD, meanwhile, stormed from 1.24 to 1.31 and EUR/USD ral lied from 1.12 to 1.18. What’s been happening? While the Euro has been benefit ing from broadbased weakness in the US dollar, the common currency came under pressure as July drew to a close. New coronavirus worries in Spain
EURO: The common currency came under pressure at the end of July. and the latest Eurozone GDP figures put the euro under pressure, with the German growth data providing particular cause for concern. The German GDP release re vealed a largerthanexpected con traction in the second quarter. The Eurozone’s largest economy also slid in to deflation in July. The Eurozone as a whole suffered a record slump in growth in the sec
ond quarter of 2020. The Pound, on the other hand, has enjoyed a resurgence despite ongoing speculation about the UK leaving the EU without a deal at the end of the year. Sterling’s strength was derived from some endofmonth flows as well as the broad weakness of many of its peers. What do you need to look out
for? Next week one of the biggest cat alysts of movement in the GBP/EUR exchange rate will be the Bank of England’s (BoE) latest policy deci sion. While the Monetary Policy Com mittee (MPC) isn’t expected to make any changes, GBP investors will be keeping a close eye on the bank’s forward guidance. Any clear indication of negative interest rates could dent demand for the pound. Further Sterling movement could be inspired by July’s finalised PMI release. Confirmation that UK busi ness activity soared to a fiveyear high would be poundpositive. The Euro, meanwhile, may also edge higher if the Eurozone’s own final PMI releases for July are up wardly revised. However, the real focus for EUR
investors will be Germany’s latest industrial data. If German factory orders and in dustrial production continued to ex pand at a solid pace in June the Eu ro could recoup losses against the Pound and continue its march high er against the US dollar. Other potentially marketmoving news includes coronavirus develop ments and Brexit headlines.

Hospitality at its very best VISITORS to the Marina in Benalmadena are spoilt for choice with the fantastic selection of bars and restaurants owned and run by the Metro Group, one of the largest and most successful hospitality organisations on the Costa del Sol. In this one attractive location they offer four restaurants and a must be seen in historic cocktail bar which also serves food. Starting off with the previously known Jacks American Brasserie and particularly famous for its burgers and friendly attentive staff who welcome family groups, it was retitled Jacks Smokehouse, sister to its Banus counterpart. There was a superb renovation to the restaurant earlier this year and with its stunning views of the marina and great menu with a bar that serves delicious cocktails, it is certainly a place to visit.
If you fancy some Italian food, Metro Ristorante Italiano is a relaxed and contemporary restaurant with an al fresco terrace, serving fresh Italian food where you can watch the people go by, possibly wishing that they were with you. There’s a waterside terrace but if the sun is strong, the restaurant is air conditioned inside and has an adjacent shaded terrace. It is said that some of the best steak comes from Argentina and the Gaucho Grill which is next door to Metro Italiano offers a fantastic range of different cuts of beef and other meat, although vegetarians can join

their carnivore friends, safe in the knowledge that there is something tasty there for them. The famous Kaleido Bar used to be a buzz word for Benalmadena Marina and it is once again as it was taken over and completely refurbished by the Group in 2018 so it is once again a place to be seen in, sip cocktails or a glass or two of bubbly and enjoy the great wine list whilst sampling some of their summer snacks. Rounding off the hospitality selection is Coast which is next to Kaleido, but be aware that it is currently closed for a complete face lift and details of the new concept will be revealed soon.
The al fresco terrace.
Further along the coast, Marbella’s Elviria boasts the Bono Beach Club and as the sun shines and temperatures warm up, it is open for the new season and the new normality with still plenty to excite guests, but strictly observing social distancing and proper hygiene procedures. You can relax on luxurious Balinese Beds, some with curtains and super comfortable hamacas with extra thick mattresses and then enjoy a delicious mix of international cuisines including Japanese, Thai, Spanish, American, Italian, Indonesian and a fabulous grill menu of meats, seafood and fish. There is often superb live music and you can enjoy watching the sunset as you sip one of their superb cocktails or wines.

It’s extremely precarious
ON the eve of Eid, which is loosely the Muslim equivalent of Christmas, the British government announced they were relocking down selected areas of the UK. It was not rocket science to realise that on closer inspection, these were in the main, parts of the country where the residents were predominately Muslim or ethnic. For regular readers, I don’t need to reiterate a column of many weeks ago, where I reported that a number of these areas were simply ignoring the government warnings and indeed in some cases being told not to worry because this virus ‘could not harm a hair of true believers’ and was merely ‘Allah’s revenge on the Infidels!’ This latest government order ordained that for at least another two weeks those living in these areas would not be allowed to meet up in each other’s homes or gardens. This of course is precisely what is customary during the Eid celebrations. Frankly, to me these instructions were so obviously directed at the Muslim population I thought the government had either finally grown a pair, or were in fact so naïve and knuckle headed they thought

EID CELEBRATIONS: Lockdown has been brought back in selected areas of the UK.
it wouldn’t be noticed. Ha! Some ‘opes. I could actually hear the screams of ‘discrimination’ and ‘racism’ from here. Lo and behold a few hours later, in a hasty move that reeked of total panic, there was another governmental decree. They had now decided to reverse a recent directive in these areas and also re – ban the public from all sporting events, including indoor gyms, dance studios, bowling alleys, water parks, casinos and swim-
ming pools. Weddings would also once again be restricted to 30 people. In other words any establishment that the indigenous locals could have attended for a little social enjoyment were having their imminent opening permissions rescinded - thereby putting everyone in the same miserable boat, which neatly (or clumsily!) sidestepped any accusations of the government singling out any particular section of the population.
In other words, because of the lack of compliance and flouting of the regulations by a few super spreaders, the whole of the local population have been made to suffer, purely to avoid certain sections of the populace feeling picked on or becoming ‘offended.’ To me it’s the weak, capitulatory appeasement of a lily livered government that is actually the most disquieting. It also proves how assured they are that the beleaguered silent majority would be afraid to raise even a peep of discontent. No, the fact is that until we get some truly patriotic strength at the top, the future of the country and culture our ancestors fought to preserve is extremely precarious indeed. As a final word, and although I don’t always agree with many of his right wing views, I also found it disgraceful that last week Tommy Robinson and his family had to flee the country of his birth because his home had suffered an arson attack and they were in fear of their lives. How’s that for the wonderful land of British democracy and equality? Keep the faith Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

WITH many national surveys giving President Donald Trump’s Democratic challenger a double-digit lead, this polarising president’s assault on decency has unified America - across boundaries of race, class and partisan politics - against him. Probably something no American president has ever achieved. Trump has now made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims as president, according to the Washington Post’s Fact Checker tally. It took Trump just 827 days to top 10,000 false and misleading claims, an average of 12 claims a day. What’s more, according to the Post, he averaged fewer than five false

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING SO much has gone on this past w e e k a n d s o m u c h m o re y e t t o come. Yesterday Inserta Andalucia signed the contract for the apartment in San Pedro de Alcántara taken on by this NGO so that the Marbella community can help set up a support system for 18year-olds being evicted from ‘the system’ and left to their own devices. Next Monday the first three will move in. Together with our United Nationalities of Marbella team the commitment has been made to not only make the children feel safe and welcome here but also to help them integrate, find their sense of purpose and make this their home. This is exactly what we need to do for our local teens too. They grow up in a tourist town with very little commitment from the businesses at large to ensuring that these children who can be well educated here also have opportunities for their future here.
election amid a global pandemic. And then there are all the tell-all books by those settling scores. Firstly, John Bolton, formerly the president’s top adviser on se-
curity matters, paints a picture in his memoir of a president whose decisionmaking is totally dominated by a desire to be reelected in November. Trump since claimed
the book is “made up of lies and fake stories.” But shortly after the decision, he alleged on Twitter that John Bolton “broke the law by releasing Classified Information (in massive amounts).” Problem is, if the book is nothing but fiction, how can any of the information in it be ‘Classified’? Next, we have a tell-all memoir by President Donald Trump’s niece who describes her uncle as a fraud and bully, a “narcissist” who now allegedly “threatens the life of every American.” And more bad news. A yet-to-be-published, tell-all book by Trump’s exlawyer Michael Cohen will reportedly provide

‘graphic and unflattering details about the President’s behaviour behind closed doors,’ including descriptions of his ‘pointedly anti-Semitic remarks’ as well as ‘virulently racist remarks’ against former President Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela. Trouble is, Trump can’t see any further ahead than the next election. He’s that short-sighted. Maybe he should take time out for a brief trip to Barnard Castle to check his eyesight...

It’s up to us Some of the participants at United Nationalities of Marbella Summit 2019. This is not the case as it stands. Kara Jaye Caradas has been embracing this attitude for over a decade and was the first to step up and offer a contract as an apprentice chef to one of these homeless teens. Other local businesses have now come forward with the same intention. With the exception of the children going on to university who won’t be
able to work, the evicted teens will be able to support themselves once they get jobs; hopefully in time to move on independently and leave the space to welcome the next children becoming homeless. If you’d like to help house and feed these kids and would like to donate, below are the details for this specific incentive: Inserta Andalucia: ES14 2100 2553

This is the time for us to watch each other’s backs and do more than we per haps might have prior to lockdown to maintain not just our own quality of life, but that of those around us also. None of us will have much fun if there is despair and degradation all around us. Many people are finding themselves out of a job and being evicted from their rental homes, regardless of the measures imposed by the government to avoid this. However as many are subject to lack of or abusive contracts, they are completely helpless. These are strange times indeed and can only be embraced as an opportunity to adapt to the changing requirements of the market and embrace our community and show each other what we’re really made of. It’s up to us.

Closed borders and residencia, a Bridge under Troubled Waters CONSULAR MATTERS AS consul for Denmark and a lawyer on the coast, I have come across an important issue for EU citizens living here in Spain. As an EU citizen, you are of course free to travel without restriction and this has always been the case. However, I apologise in advance as I am going to mention Brexit and the coronavirus in this article. The problem that occurred during the Coronavirus lockdown was that Spain closed its borders and people who weren’t Spanish citizens, residents, or cross border workers weren’t allowed to travel to Spain, of course, these people had previously enjoyed the
right to move freely throughout the European Union. Rightly or wrongly a number of citizens of Denmark and the United Kingdom amongst others had been living in Spain without being residents here. This meant that they were effectively blocked from returning to their permanent home in Spain if they happened to be in another country when the lockdown was announced. Had they been residents in Spain, or had their residencia then this would not have been a problem as they would have been allowed to return. Spain did have a very harsh lockdown so they would have had their movements massively restricted on their return. In the news, some EU countries and the British government has announced that anyone returning from Spain has to un-
NO ENTRY: Borders were closed during lockdown.
dergo a 14 day quarantine period. In addition, a number of flights have been cancelled. Well, there is nothing that can be done to avoid the travel restrictions, but to avoid being effectively stuck in one country being unable to return to Spain I would advise everyone who is living here in Spain to apply for residencia. Remember to note that if you stay for more than 183 days in Spain you become
a tax resident. We have helped a number of citizens and clients with residencia. I would advise that you are very careful with people calling themselves advisors or consultants as they may not be a qualified gestor or a lawyer. As Consul I recommend you instruct a qualified professional. Now lastly Brexit, well the United Kingdom has left the EU and the transition period will
end on December 31, 2020. If you have a holiday home here in Spain there is nothing to worry about as long as you are happy spending 90 days or less in Spain in 180 days. If you live here you need to apply for residencia or residency. If you are British you can still apply for residency next year but the requirements will be more onerous. So if you are already living here you should apply for residency if you haven’t already and if you are in a position to move before the end of 2020 please do so. Remember you can rent or buy a property. Please be aware of unscrupulous people involved in renting and sales and always take advice from an independent lawyer regarding a lease or a property purchase.

Not funny! Dear Euro Weekly News, Having just read your article about the consideration of closing French borders, I experienced an incident in Mercadona yesterday. Having obeyed the rules all through lockdown I stood behind the line at the checkout waiting for the people in front to pack, pay and move away.
OUR VIEW Ticking along
ON Friday, July 31, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his intention to ban the Chinese social network TikTok in the country, which Washington views with suspicion for reasons of national security. For those who don’t know what TikTok is, it is a social networking app that mostly shows short videos of children and many celebrities lip synching to songs or creating some actually pretty good dance moves. It is developed by ByteDance, based in Beijing and has achieved great success among the public, but at the same time it is claimed to have raised great doubts about the security of user’s data and links with the Chinese Communist Party. Tension between the US and China has increased in recent months fuelled by the Covid pandemic, for which the two countries blame each other. “As for TikTok, we are going to ban it in the United States,” Trump said in remarks to reporters, and added, “I have that authority. I can do it with an executive order.” Earlier this month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hinted that the Trump administration was considering restricting access to TikTok in the States given the possibility that Beijing is using the social network as a means to monitor and distribute propaganda. After an hour of trying the app this writer saw no evidence of any propaganda, but quite a lot of funny pranks and families coming enjoying using it together. Surely this is just another example of Trump’s huffy baby rouine? TikTok general manager in the United States, Vanessa Pappas, warned on Saturday that the Chinese network has no plans “to go anywhere,” in response to President Donald Trump’s announcement to veto it. Pappas stated in her message that they are proud of the 1,500 workers they have in the USA and that they will create another 10,000 jobs over the next three years. “We don’t plan to go anywhere. TikTok is home to creators and artists to express their ideas and connect with people from different backgrounds. We are proud of everyone who calls TikTok home.”

DEAR Editor, Don’t we all just love being woken up by the awful raucous sound of a ‘jardinero’ or ‘trabadoro de Ayuntamiento,’ wielding one of these infernal machines? Monday to Friday there is no need to set our alarms since at 8am the leaf blower begins his assault on our ears and by the time he has blown the leaves etc from one end of the street to the other, we are fully awake. Maybe they are proud to announce noisily that they are working, but like thousands of others living here in peaceful retirement, I am not amused. Gone are the days of the brush and dustpan operator quietly cleaning the street, while we gradually wake up to the sound of birdsong. Now, where did I put my earplugs! Oh yes, Mike Senker borrowed them. Brian Johnston Benalmadena Costa

HCH LEAF BLOWERS: Who needs an alarm clock? As I put my purchases on the belt, the family behind me, (French, two adults and two teenagers, the lads both had their masks around their neck!), started to put their purchases on the belt just behind mine. I put up my hand and gestured to the distance lines on the floor, to which they just looked and carried on loading up the belt. I pointed again, and then the cashier also told them to stop and pointed to the floor to bring to their attention the warnings, they still carried on! She then left the till and walked round to them and pulled back the trolley to the line. Rather than acknowledge what she had just shown them, and apologise, the two boys laughed!, to which I just couldn’t help myself and shouted ‘It’s not funny!’ Love reading Euro Weekly. Chris Worrall
No surprise Dear Euro Weekly, It’s not surprising that there is a large reduction in the number of people visiting Spain for a holiday from the UK. Regulations and government advice at both ends are confusing, restrictive and seemingly frequently changing, so we don’t know whether it’s advisable to go to Spain, what restrictions we will find, whether or not there are lockdowns if there are quarantines at either end, whether hotels are open when we arrive, etc, etc. Who would want to go on holiday when such confusion and concern exists? Alan O’Connor
Stern word Dear Euro Weekly News, Ref: Leapy survey What your survey shows is that 74 per cent of people who replied are Brexiteers, racist, anti-EU whilst receiving all the benefits that the EU offers. Then we find an absurd column this week about whispers from an alleged doctor who blames the outbreak in Leicester on BAME, nothing about Brits refusing to wear masks at all. I am a South Londoner from the war years. Don’t forget the Windrush generation, Grenfell, of which only 24 people have received compensation. Sorry, but I despair of the behaviour and attitude of these people who appear to be copying the behaviour of the modern-day Americans. Angry old Brit. Alan Doig

After the eruption JOHN
SHARPLES
I USED to live on the island of Tenerife. I loved the place. I had homes in both the north and south of the island. Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain, dominates the island. I could see it from my bedroom window when I lived in the town of La Orotava. The island was formed from volcanic eruptions over history. Everyone who lives in Tenerife knows that the volcano is only dormant. It could go off and lose its head at any moment although it would probably be a minor eruption. The last time it had a blast was in 1909 and one person died because they got too close to the fumes. Mount Vesuvius in Italy is a completely different story. This is
MOUNT TEIDE: The dormant volcano dominates the landscape of Tenerife. a volcano that hadn’t erupted in known lifetimes. Nobody actually knew that it was a volcano. When it finally spent its fury, it was a shock. The volcano completely covered the whole city of Pompeii and Her-
culaneum. These days, Pompeii is still being excavated and it is a major tourist attraction. This does not mean that the area is safe. Vesuvius could erupt at any time but it doesn’t stop the local people
from continuing their lives there. I feel that there are similarities to the Covid-19 virus scare that we are going through. It has happened and it has killed people but we are still carrying on with our lives. It has destroyed
families but there are many who carry on living their lives under the possible threat that it may return. I personally feel that we have to carry on. We have to move forward. It is too easy to shrink away and hide. That is not living. Living is enjoying life. Truly enjoying life is living life to the full. I completely understand that there are a number of folks who are too scared to go back to their normal routines. I also know that a great deal of a fair amount of people are feeling vulnerable. They may have medical issues that make them an easy target for the virus. Whatever issues we have to take into account on a personal level we must also not lose sight of the fact that we have to live our lives as though every day were our last. It is far too easy to forget that. So, it’s masks on and out we go and let’s see what another beautiful day brings our way!

Exciting things going on ‘IN NATURE WE TRUST’ With this slogan as a starting point, the 32-year-old Dane Kristoffer Sørensen has created a successful company in Costa del Sol. He is the owner of the company ‘Cannamor.’ Cannamor is the brand for high strength CBD oil made from Harlequin strain and exclusive CBD skincare. If looking for supplements, you will also find a range of natural supplements in their web shop. “I am from the north of Denmark and have since my youth been fascinated by the therapeutic use of cannabis and hemp plants. That’s why I spent a lot of my free time, in addition to my work as a gardener, getting thoroughly acquainted with this complex topic and researching what opportunities I had to create a platform for the sale of health food and cream with CBD based products,” Kristoffer explains about the early start. Kristoffer is a man of action and moved in the spring of 2015 to the city of Alkmaar in the Netherlands with his business partner at that time. For the next two years, they jointly laid the foundation for the current webshop, headquartered in Spain. It was a hard birth,
he assures. “I worked up to 16 hours every day to create a network of suppliers of raw materials for the natural products and spread the word about our website. Like the current one, it had a nice setup with lots of information and functions, but the number of visitors was too small to make the project sustainable,” says Kristoffer about the many sleepless nights. Through social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), the two partners launched several information campaigns about the platform under the name Cannamor (Canna = cannabis, (a)mor = love (red)). Kristoffer commuted back and forth between Holland and Denmark to talk to Danish and foreign experts and therapists in the CBD sectors, while his partner was responsible for other tasks in their joint project. Slowly, the number of inquiries and visitors to their web increased. “We agreed from the first day of work that we would move to Spain when there had been sufficient growth in turnover to move south. It just took a little longer than we had expected,” says Kristoffer with a smile on his face. In the spring of 2017, Kristoffer travelled
from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam to Malaga. He had received sufficient income to switch the cool temperatures in northern Europe out with the southern sun and would complete the project together with his former partner. However, he chose go his own way and Kristoffer took over Cannamor alone. “We agreed to let me take over the private limited company and carry out the Spanish dream project on my own. This means that I am sole owner of the company. “We have a lot of exiting things going on at the moment with new product designs in the making, new websites and a bunch of great discounts. We are also always focusing on product development and you can look forward to the launching of our new exOwner, Kristoffer. clusive CBD-skincare products.

YOUR STARS
“Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.” Angelina Jolie
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Rarely has your mind been as sharp as it is at the moment. There have been some awkward and downright bad periods in the recent past, but this week everything falls into place. Why, you wonder, have you worried so much about things which could not be changed? With this clarity of vision, the future seems so much brighter. Use your talents and advantages to the full in this sparkling seven days and beyond.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) For all of the things that you want to do, there are three others that you wish to do. Maybe they are waiting for their own time to come. During the course of this week you will be thinking of what the future could hold, even though dealing with practical issues. While you are doing the ordinary tasks of the day, or thinking of how you can save money, also think about how to save your dreams.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When it isn't possible to change something, often it is just as effective to rearrange it. That is the solution which comes to you this week. Instead of being frustrated at a delay, try changing the conditions or times. This may mean that you save money or delay a payment to your advantage. We all have set ideas, whatever our age or circumstances.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) When we have long-standing friendships, these are often taken for granted and yet often we could make so much more of them. How long is it since you had a really deep conversation with your closest friends? What has changed in their attitudes and fortunes over the years? How could you help each other to make better progress? Working together brings so much more forward movement and satisfaction.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Consider what is the most important thing to you at the moment? Is it wealth or social position? Your work, or how it may be possible to afford that new conservatory are minor considerations compared with your greatest asset which is your health. This week, then, is all about boosting this valuable commodity and building its future. Worry, stress, overwork should be words not in your vocabulary.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) As the saying goes, ‘no one ever said it would be easy’. In the past few months you have found this to be true. Hard work is not alien to you, but there is a point where you want to shout ‘enough’. It may be that business or home life needs some rearranging, or that someone is moving job and the routine is severely disrupted.
47
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) As a home-loving Libran, you are torn between making changes to your surroundings and getting some cash in on the business side. Apparently, it is not possible to do both because energy levels fluctuate. I have a proposition for you. Get business out of the way during the week and plan home activities for the weekend.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) There is so much in you that is determined and looking forward to a fresh start, but something that you are trying to get rid of, or give up, may be giving you more trouble than anticipated. Some things have to be done alone, or so you think, but others have gone through this before you so they are able to give support.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Is playing the waiting game really to your advantage? Your Sagittarian character naturally leads you to be optimistic, and why not? Even so, it won't hurt to hurry someone along rather than having them go at their own pace. Bear in mind that, in letting someone get away with sloppiness, you are doing them no favours at all.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The enthusiasm of your bright Capricorn mind is also capable of making you restless. There are mixed feelings about being at or near home this week, with thoughts of more progress being possible elsewhere. Your need to make things better for those round you may not make you money but it can bring great joy. Give of your time and talents generously.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When you are at home this week I would like you to consider how you view your surroundings. This is a good week to make changes and have discussions about future directions. It is assumed that those close are happy with the status quo, but this may not be the case. The things which you find irksome may also irritate them. Ask in a tactful and gentle way and you will be surprised at the outcome.

Looking back just a few months, would you have thought so much progress could be made? Because of your efforts, home life is enhanced and you are more appreciated. Give yourself a break at the weekend and do something with a loved one that you have not done together for some time. Think of the great times you had and relive them to warm your heart.

WHEN headlines appeared of a romance between an English prince and an American actress, it sounded like the stuff of fairytales, it also sparked an international media frenzy. However, while the Sussexes continue to make headlines with their engagement, wedding, and birth of their son to their bombshell decision to step back from their royal lives, few know the real story of Meghan and Harry. ‘Finding Freedom’ reveals details of their life together and dispells rumours and misconceptions that plague them. Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie are part of a select group of reporters that have witnessed the young couple’s lives as few outsiders can. With the participation of those closest to the couple, ‘Finding Freedom’ is an honest, up-close portrait of an influential, and forward-thinking couple who are unafraid to break with tradition and determined to create a new path away from the spotlight.

Getting a good night’s sleep A REFRESHING night’s sleep is essential to our health and indeed our beauty regimes (tired bags under the eyes just are not sexy) and although each individual’s actual requirements can be different, it is normally recommended to get between seven and nine hours sleep per night. There are ways to get a good night’s kip. Try to get into a routine with the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends. Your body will then adopt this pattern and you will be ready for sleep at the right time. A relaxing, routine before bedtime will enable you to wind down ready to go to bed. Daily exercise can help you to be tired when it’s time to go to sleep. Your bedroom should be free from any noise or light that could disturb your sleep. Check your room for noises or other distractions. This includes a bed partner’s sleep disruptions such as snoring. Consider using blackout curtains, eye-

shades and earplugs. Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. You will feel more refreshed and this will reduce aches and strains in the morning. Avoid bright light in the evening and expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. This will keep your circadian rhythms in check. Alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine can disrupt sleep as can eating big or spicy meals which can cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. Switch off your mobile phone, television and computer well before bedtime, they invariably stimulate the brain, making it harder to get to sleep. If you can’t sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired. If you’re still having trouble sleeping, don’t hesitate to speak with your doctor or find a sleep professional.

As pretty as a rose MANY celebrities and even royalty are switching to natural cosmetics. But the star of the moment is undoubtedly the ingredient of a particular flower: the rose. Rosehip oil has been swiftly gaining popularity, as this exceptionally useful skin regenerator is a great product to treat serious skin problems such as cuts, scars and eczema, just like aloe vera. The oil’s benefits are so compelling that it seems that even Kate Middleton herself has succumbed to its charms and praises it as one of her favourites. But what does rosehip oil have that other treatments don’t? Why does everyone who tries it stick with it?
Rosehip oil is a vegetable oil that is extracted from rosehip seeds, the fruit produced by a wild shrub of the rose family. This oil has a slight reddish colour and a pungent odour, but the most important thing is its content of very high polyunsaturated essential fatty acids. T h e s e

acids are very important nutrients in many processes in our body related to cell and tissue regeneration. In addition, it contains many antioxidants and vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. Considering that rosehip oil is rich in antioxidants, which helps combat oxidative damage and strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier, we can say that it also prevents the appearance of future damage related to free radicals. Put a couple of drops on your fingertips, morning and night, and gently massage in a circular direction on the face, with special care on the eye area. If your skin requires it, then you can apply your usual moisturiser.

Self-isolation and social distancing can definitely take its toll on your stress lev-

The herb has active properties that can banish dark circles and reduce puffiness. Ingredients Chopped parsley and distilled water. Fill an ice-cube tray with distilled water and add a pinch of parsley to each cube before popping in the freezer. Rub the frozen cubes gently under the eyes to get rid of under-eye bags and fine lines.

Five things I wish people understood about managing mental illness MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED THOSE who have followed my articles will know I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 21 years old. This is what I’ve learnt, over nearly nine years of trying to manage a mental illness alongside a job. • ‘I have,’ not ‘I am’ When I was first diagnosed with bipolar, it became my life. There is so much more to me than my diagnosis. • Shame can make logical people seem irrational There is still so much stigma about mental illness. If you feel like part of who you are will lead to work colleagues assuming you’re not capable of doing your job, you keep it private. With the right support you can thrive at anything. Honesty is the best policy! • Managing anxiety and stress is like a second job Sometimes, I feel like I have two fulltime jobs. The one I’m paid for, and the one I do to manage my mental health. My brain has taken on the job of an anti-virus software package, monitoring my stress levels and making sure they don’t reach a critical stage. It means I don’t have to worry about getting so stressed that I might end up in the early stages of mania. Selfcare is so important. • Kindness and em-
pathy: YES. Pity: HECK , NO. The best managers I’ve had have had the following qualities: good listeners, prepared to see the best in people and encouraging. Doesn’t sound too much to ask, does it? For most people, a bad manager doesn’t affect their health. Yet if I don’t get the right support, I struggle to do a good job. What no-one wants is pity, because that’s crushing. Mental illness can crush someone’s self-esteem. There have been times when I felt I was being handled as if I was an unexploded bomb that might go off at any moment. That can lead to a vicious cycle of low expectation equalling poor performance. Being a good boss means being able to have difficult conversations. I’d far rather a boss/manager found a tactful way to be honest with negative feedback than shied away from confrontation. • Talking about it helps Reluctance to talk about our feelings is famous nowadays. People are scared to show any sort of emotion. But how we feel has a huge bearing on our output and work performance. Otherwise, psychologists who coach top athletes would be out of a job. Just being about to talk about mental health at work and it not be a big deal is a huge release. Because the more we talk about it, the less of a big deal it becomes. I would love to hear your comments and views on this! Don’t forget to write to me on the email below or follow me on facebook @mswillowbipo lar. Love Ms Bipolar x

DIONE LOCKYER HOW many times have you told yourself that you are not good enough or reminded yourself of all of the things you HAVEN’T achieved in your life? I hear you! I used to do the same thing. I used to argue with myself on a daily basis. It was me versus my ego, yet my ego always seemed to win. The more I listened to the little witch inside my head, The louder she got. “I’m not a good enough Mum?” “I’m too fat to wear a bikini.” “I need to dull my confidence. People will think I’m cocky.” “Who am I to think I could have a successful business?” “I could never pass the exams to become a successful mentor!” These were just a few statements that the voice was telling me. The fear of failure hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt trapped, in a very dark place with no way out.

DROP THE EGO Depression hit and the walls were closing in. I knew I had to do something as I was slowly pushing away everyone I loved and I was about to lose it all. So how exactly do you quieten the noise? Can you set yourself free from a negative mindset? Hell yes! I studied hard for two years, I put everything into practice, I tested any different techniques, and now, I am here to show you how!!! We all have ‘voices’ inside our heads commenting on our moment-to-moment experiences, the quality of our past decisions, mistakes we could have avoided, and what we should have done differently. These voices can be really mean and make a bad situation much worse. The voice will always criticise and beat you down at every given opportunity. But the question is, why? Our
ego (or as I like to name her, the witch), feeds off self-doubt and fear. She can be a residue of childhood experiences - automatic patterns of neural firing stored in our brains and dissociated from the memory of the events they are trying to protect us from. If you try to ignore the voice or even dismiss it altogether, It can take charge of your whole life, enabling you to become a slave to the mind. This, in turn, will allow you to believe that the outside world is dangerous and that you need to obey her rules for living in order to survive and avoid pain. You will live your life existing rather than living! So how can you quieten the noise? Step 1 - I would like you to look at your end goal. What is it you would like to achieve? Think of your current goal, your dream. What does it look like? Where are you when you achieve this goal?
Who is the first person to share it with? Now take a moment to align with this next question. How does it feel to achieve your goal? Feel every emotion possible for the next minute. How do you feel? You’re smiling, right? You know what it feels like to reach your goal. You can see your success and know what it feels like. You can feel what it can do for you and your families life? 321... The ego has started. Am I right? Just as you picture everything you want to achieve, that is when she starts! Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal. Step 2 - Acknowledge and understand your thoughts Write down everything, word for word that your ego/witch, is telling you. It is important to be completely honest here. You need to share EXACTLY what the voice is telling you. Next to each statement, write
the following, what physical evidence do I have that makes this thought true? The answer to be ZERO! There is no physical evidence to stop you from being successful. The only evidence you have is FEAR. Fear of failing, fear of judgement, fear of other people’s opinions, fear from past experiences. It is time to face those fears... Name one step you can take today that will bring you closer to your goal. Don’t think of the outcome. Ignore the ‘what if.’ Just give me one step, right now, without thinking about it. What can you do today that will get you closer to your goal? If you feel you will need more guidance, a hand holding approach and want to discuss your mental blocks in more detail, I am here to help. I have a five-day, step by step masterclass to allow you to finally set yourself free from a negative mindset and finally quieten the noise.

Clearly there are a number of restrictions due to the pandemic, so all tickets have to be booked by telephone only on 952 474 542 between 11am and 2.30pm Monday to Friday.
For your safety, full social distancing measures will be observed and masks will be obligatory in the auditorium. First to appear will be Thomas Henry already a popular singer on the Costa del Sol, but many may be surprised at his background. He moved to the Costa del Sol 18 years ago from Merseyside, although he was born in Wales, which might explain the quality of
his singing voice. Despite the fact that he still looks very young, Thomas enjoyed a very successful career spanning 10 years as the top Prince tribute artist in the UK, although that doesn’t really give sufficient credit to a man who was told by the artist himself that he was doing “Good Work.” His band in the UK was named ‘Purple Reign,’ and he went to huge pains to ensure that he looked and
sounded as close to the ‘purple one’ as he could, but the time came when he wanted a change and with the move to Spain which he adores, he began to perform in his own right and then as ‘Sammy Davis Jr’ in the ‘Rat Pack’ tribute band which has performed all over the Costa del Sol. Now however he has reverted to his Prince alter ego and will be presenting his new Purple Revolution show with band and dancers at the theatre from September 3 to 6 and as restrictions mean that the theatre can only be filled to half capacity, tickets are likely to sell quickly. Other shows which follow are: Cliff Richard and the Carpenters, an authentic and entertaining tribute presented by the talented
COMING SOON: The Purple Revolution show with band and dancers. Dunc Neil and Beverley Fox for one night only September 12. ‘AIRE,’ an exciting night of Flamenco dance presented by the Vicente Renero Dance Company September 19 and 20. ‘Cowboys and Kisses,’ a superb evening of country hits by the Costa del Sol Showman himself, Johnny G with Melissa Carver (Sep-
tember 24 to 27). It is too early for full musicals and dramas to be cast, rehearsed and presented, but there is no doubt that those involved in the theatre will be doing all that they can to return to normal service as soon as is possible. There will also be news of the postponed Evita show shortly.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks scallops for a new tasting menu.
Scallops in pastry
Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas www.thelittlegeranium.com WHAT could be nicer than a delicious hand dived scallop wrapped in buttery pastry and baked in the oven. I am not 100 per cent certain where the name of the dish Wellington comes from - I had assumed that it came from the First Duke of Wellington (UK’s prime minister in 1828) but some say it was a dish served in the town Wellington in New Zealand for a civic reception in that era. It is one of the most wonderful and most popular dishes to eat, but why should it be beef? You could make a wellington with anything… and so, I did… Scallop wellington!
I googled scallop wellington to see if any other chefs were doing a similar thing. There is one entry but it’s making little puff pastry vol au vents filled with scallops, not the same thing at all and the only other things that come up are scallops from Wellington in New Zealand. So I’m pretty safe to say that this is my creation! A few years ago, I ran and operated Brocket Hall in Welwyn Garden City near St Albans, London. Brocket Hall was the home of the eccentric Lord Brocket who some will remember for his time on ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here!’ Filmed in the Jungle in Australia... Others may remember him for burying his Ferrari collection in his own estate! Either way Brocket Hall is steeped in fascinating
Impress a loved one with this delightful starter. history. I was enchanted by Brocket Hall and this prestigious mansion and wanted to know more about the history. In the grounds there is a beautiful building called Melbourne Lodge. It was named after Lord Melbourne who was the UK prime minister in 1835. The Duke of Wellington was a colleague and friend of Lord Melbourne’s and Brocket Hall was Lord
Melbourne’s designated home. Lord Melbourne often entertained the Duke of Wellington at Brocket Hall, so it seemed obvious to me that we should make use of the Wellington theme at Brocket Hall. That is where I started expanding my enthusiasm for this dish by doing venison wellington, sea bass wellington, pork wellington and so on.
At the Little Geranium we are well-known and loved for our tasting menus and currently have a mini wellington of hand dived scallops as one of the courses. It has been so incredibly popular. Clients have said it is one of the best things they have ever eaten and it is easy to prepare. You will need to find decent sized fresh scallops for this dish which can be prepared in advance so it’s great as a starter at a dinner party. You simply take the mini wellingtons out of the fridge, brush and glaze the pastry with egg yolk and pop them in a very hot oven for about four minutes until the pastry is golden brown. The scallop cooks perfectly in the pastry, moist and slightly under cooked snuggled in its crispy pastry coat. It really is delicious!
To save time you can buy good butter puff pastry here in Spain so it needn’t be a time-consuming dish to prepare. We serve it with a foam made from truffles which is called an air. This air is made by adding soya lecithin to water and truffle pieces. The soya is a natural product and reacts with the water to create a foamy air. When you taste the air, it explodes in your mouth with the truffle flavour. At home you could make it simpler by avoiding the air and making a sauce from cream and truffle pieces to accompany it or even make a mild mustard cream sauce. So, if you are wanting to impress a loved one, serve this little delight up as a starter and you will be amazed with the enthusiasm that it receives!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Recipe serves four • 8 x fresh hand dived scallops • A tablespoon of olive oil • 300g mixture of mixed or wild mushrooms • 2 cloves garlic peeled • 1 small onion peeled and chopped • 500g pre-made puff pastry (made with butter) • 4 slices of Serrano ham • 2 egg yolks for glazing pastry • Maldon salt Method • Roughly chop the mushrooms and fry in a hot pan with a little olive oil, the onion and garlic and some seasoning. Continue to cook on a high heat for about five minutes until all the excess moisture has evaporated. • Remove the mushrooms from the pan, leave to cool and then blend in a food processor until fine and smooth. This is called a duxelle. Check seasoning before using. • Cut the pastry into small 10cm

squares and roll out to 2mm thick if it’s not pre rolled. • Place a small piece of the Serrano ham on top of each square and then add a teaspoon of the duxelle (mushrooms) • Seal all the scallops on one side only in a very hot frying pan with a little olive oil. Do not turn them over seal for only 30 seconds and remove from heat and rest. • Place the scallop on top of the ham in the centre. Fold the ham over the scallop, then roll the pastry with your hands at the bottom to make a nice round shape. Repeat this step with the other scallops and keep in fridge until needed. • Brush the mini wellingtons all over with the egg yolk. •When you are ready to cook the wellingtons, bake in a hot preheated oven on a baking tray lined with a little oil (to stop them sticking) at 225ºC for four minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with a little Maldon salt.

Who Let the Dogs Out? LAMBE-MURPHY A S t h e s u m m e r t e m p e r a t u re s soar, so too does my desire to run further each day. I’m staying around the 16km mark, and having to rise earlier each day, to do so. If someone wonders if global warming is a myth, come live in Spain and find out. This year is considerably hotter than last. Out by 6.30am, and bored of my usual run along the beach, I decided to mix things up. Up hill to be exact, into the mountains, of Los Altos de Los Monteros. While the terrain is almost vertical, I find it exhilarating, if not hard going. You know what they say, no pain, no gain. As temperatures tip 30ºC by 7am, if I was to require a sponsor for my routine, it would have to be San Pellegrino. The views from up high are fantastic, and somewhat uninterrupted. Somewhat, until you realise you’re being chased by a pack of crazed guard dogs. While the saying goes - dog is man’s best friend, the dogs that escaped from a vast hillside villa, were clearly not interested in being my friend. Over the thumping sounds of Run DMC, I heard them get closer and felt them on my heels. Pretty much like the beginning of The Italian Job, either side of the road, met with a sheer drop, I had little choice, other than to turn and face their snarling faces. Growing up in a house where dogs were as important, if not more so, than most people, I’m very used to handling even the angriest. As we all know, the worst thing to show any potential enem y , i s f e a r. F r o m d e e p w i t h i n , I shouted so loudly, I’m sure the fishermen in Morocco could hear. The dogs stopped in their tracks. I stood still, and without hesitation commanded that they back off. Slowly, but surely, they calmed and became almost fear ful. I stood in the middle of the road, nervous, but in control. Well, until a Swiss registered Mercedes G-wag-
World we live in is a strange place MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I DON’T like the new normal and, as many of my friends will tell you, I wasn’t that partial to the old normal! If I want to go out to eat I am now being served by a sweaty person in a mask which is sometimes over the nose and sometimes isn’t. The chef is sweating like a ….... fill in your own offensive, politically incorrect remark here. I left one place as sweat was obviously dripping onto the food he was preparing. It’s 40 degrees. He has a hat and mask and goggles on. Not entirely his fault but I’ll use the salt sachet on the table for seasoning if it’s ok with you. Then there seems to be a bit of an attitude problem around too. I ordered the bill in one place and got it pretty quick but waited nearly 15 minutes for change. It was way over the tipping amount so I wasn’t going to leave it. Finally I went over and asked why it was taking so long and was told in no uncertain terms that the waiter was serving on his own and

the other six staff there couldn’t use the till. No sorry - just the usual ‘if there weren’t so many customers trying to get served I could get on with my job’ attitude. Another question is who do I listen to about this Covid stuff? Do I listen to the doctors and scientists that have spent years studying for degrees in epidemiology and then years working in laboratories and hospitals doing research on every infectious disease known to mankind and treating patients with the most terrible illnesses? Or do I listen to the conspiracy theorists whose uncle’s brother’s sister’s aunt has it on very good authority that, according to someone they know, who has read loads of stuff on the internet, social media and the rantings of Trump’s new guru Dr Stella Immanuel or Katie Hopkins, that we are just being fooled by the Illuminati to let them inject us with a tracking device? I’m still sticking with the experts. You, of course, can do as you wish. The world we now live in is a very strange place. For instance, if you are driving down the road and see a magnificent tree you don’t stop and admire it. But if there is a terrible car crash you slow down to see what’s happening. Social media is a car crash.

Luckily the speeding jeep was just the trick I needed to make a serious run for it. Not stopping until I was safely home. As the afternoon rolled on, I decided I couldn’t allow these dogs to roam freely. What if I wasn’t so lucky? What if they attacked a young child, or caused a car crash. I went to the Local Police, who shook their heads and explained it was more likely a matter for SATE in Puerto Banús. All I wanted to do was send a simple message to the owners of the villa, regarding the situation. Why is everything here always so complicated? By now, temperatures were higher and Banús is a place I avoid at all costs, especially post midday. So, instead I returned home and had a swim. That evening as I played ball with my ever happy Jack Russell, Henry, I realised that just like people, not all dogs are kind. However, when faced with angry, or negative people, we have two choices - allow them to take power, or stand tall and take the power back. If that fails, run. Run for your life.

Help when you need it most THE loss of a loved one at any time is traumatic but if it happ e n s h e re i n S p a i n , you may well need help from a caring and knowledgeable team to deal with what c o u l d b e a d i ff i c u l t process.

Traditions and practice with regards to death in the UK are quite different to those in Spain, where the deceased is normally buried within 24 hours, but if required, the English Funeral Directors can arrange to delay the process so that friends and family can travel over for the ceremony. They can also contact an

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

FOOTBALL: Arsenal beat London rivals Chelsea to win the FA Cup! ARSENAL beat London rivals Chelsea to win the FA Cup inside an almost empty Wembley on Saturday afternoon. Mikel Arteta’s side came from behind to win 2-1 in a game that rounds off a domestic season like no other.

Chelsea’s Mateo Kovacic was sent off after what proved to be Arsenal’s winner for two bookable offences. Arsenal’s tally of FA Cup wins now stands at 14 more than any other English club. Aubameyang went on to lift the famous trophy - but not before dropping it. It is their fourth FA Cup in seven seasons. Arteta has now won the competition as both Arsenal captain and manager. Football
