Wine and chestnuts for San Andrés On 29th November, the eve of Saint Andrew’s Day, the fiestas of San Andrés are held in several towns in Tenerife, including Igueste de San Andrés, close to Playa de las Teresitas in Santa Cruz. This is a very special celebration when the local wineries open to taste the year’s new wine which in Icod de los Vinos is accompanied by roast chestnuts and salted fish. This fiesta includes the ritual of Las Tablas (the boards), in which young people slide down the steep streets at breakneck speeds on greased boards.

Roasted chestnuts are a traditional part of the festivities

This tradition is also followed in La Guancha and is even more exciting because the road where it takes place is not straight. Scholars indicate that on the eve, the owners needed to clean their barrels where the new wine would be stored. For this, until the early twentieth century they used salt water, so the barrels were taken down to the coast by sliding them over the road surface, producing a tremendous noise

The new wines are tasted during these fiestas

which was a precursor to the opening of the wine cellars. There is always a great festive atmosphere as each family opens up its cellar and the new wine is tasted or baptised. Traditional folk songs called Isas, folías and malagueñas can be heard everywhere. In Puerto de la Cruz and La Orotava these fiestas are referred to as Los Cacharros or La Castaña. Teenagers run noisily around the town banging pots and pans or dragging strings of tin cans, or even larger items such as old bathtubs – anything that makes a noise. In Puerto de la Cruz, the meeting place is the Plaza del Charco where you can eat roast chestnuts, corn and sweet potatoes accompanied by lots of wine. The fiestas of San Andrés are also celebrated in Fasnia, Candelaria and Arona.

happenings

Football superstars in Tenerife Football super stars of the past will be playing here in Tenerife 5th, 6th and 7th December 2008 against regular players from near and far! Soccer Experience is proud to present a weekend to remember for the people of Tenerife. Many of the world’s footballing legends such as Bruce Grobbelaar and (David Seaman’s least favourite player) Nayim will be taking part, and for the first time on Tenerife soil, there will be an old firm rivalry game between two teams with ex-Glasgow Rangers vs ex-Glasgow Celtic players. Ali Mauchlen, Darren Jackson, Reggi Blinker, Scott Nisbett and Mark Walters are just some of the big names committed to taking part.

By Clio O’Flynn

The tournament is to be held at the Las Torres 7’s football stadium, Adeje. As well as the games, the Sunday night presentation of trophies etc. will also see

Ali Mauchlen and Bruce Grobbelaar during last year´s tournament

a questions and answers session with the stars – so you can be the one to ask “Bruce why did you wobble your legs in the European Cup Final penalty shoot out?” or “Nayim, what was going through your mind before chipping David Seaman from the halfway line in the UEFA cup final?” Sponsor the stars: You can sponsor a team and also help donate to a number of children’s charities – if you or your business can help in any way big or small to make the tournament very special please contact: by email soccer@soccerexperience. com .or tel: 654 200 470.

Their Royal Highnesses Far right: King Juan Carlos I and his son Prince Felipe de Borbón y Grecia

The Prince and Princess with their two children, the Infantas Leonor and Sofía

When, in November 2003, the official word from the palace came through that the heir to the Spanish throne, Prince Felipe de Borbón y Grecia, was to marry television news journalist Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano the Spanish people were, in general, delighted. Delighted that their prince was finally to settle down and delighted at his choice, a bride to be that reflected the modern face of the new Spain. The welcome that the Princess of Asturias to be received from both the royal family and the public was overwhelmingly positive – there were, of course, one or two detractors who held onto the “blood will out” theory that like should marry like and royals should

only marry nobility. For the majority though this was a modern day fairy story. The way the couple had met (she was covering the oil spillage caused by the break up of the Prestige tanker off the coast of Galicia, he was visiting the scene), the huge secrecy surrounding their budding romance, and the fact that they were, certainly in front of all the world’s camera, very much in love, only added to the story. Prince Felipe had borne the label of one of Europe’s more eligible bachelors until news of his engagement to Letizia broke, and his romances were, unsurprisingly, the stuff of media fodder. Educated both in Spain and abroad (in Canada), he is also respected for his work through his Prince of Asturias foundation, which recognises people in a variety of fields, such as communication, sport, social sciences, the arts, humanities and international cooperation. Letizia was a commoner, and what’s more a divorcee, and was also seen to be a woman very much in her own right as well as elegant and very feminine. She

The Prince and Princess of Asturias have two children, the Infanta Leonor, born on October 31st 2005 and the Infanta Sofía, born on 29th April 2007. The Prince and Princess have visited these islands on a number of occasions, and have often, along with other members of the royal family, holidayed in Lanzarote, where Queen Sofía’s niece, Princess Alexia of Greece, lives with her husband and children. The most recent visit of the Prince and Princess to these shores was in October where they visited both Gran Canaria and Tenerife, the latter to officiate at the inauguration of the reopening of the Teatro Leal in La Laguna (see pages 34 and 35).

was known to the public for her work on both CNN+ and TV España where she was one of the main news anchors, and had reported from international news zones such as New York’s Ground Zero and Iraq during the war there. Her elevation to the status of princess was seen as a sign of an open forward looking monarchy, representative of the Spain of the 21st century. And the moves that have been made since to change the Spanish law of succession ensuring that, regardless of the sex of other children born to the couple, their first born, the Infanta Leonor, is second in line to the throne behind her father, have further strengthened the couple’s standing in modern society.

cruising

Around the world on a cruise ship For those of you who have never cruised before, I thought that over the next few editions of The Magazine we would look at some of the ‘happenings that go on on the bridge’ and some of the locations you could find yourself visiting.

We are on our way...

Let’s assume for the sake of simplicity that we start our cruise in Southampton aboard the SS Aurora. What you will read now is the Cruise Log as recorded by the Navigator (I have omitted some of the times as they can be repetitive). However when we get to the ports I will try and cover what there is to see and some of the tours available. DAY 1: At 21:46 with all passengers safely embarked and all pre-departure safety checks complete the

NOVEMBER 2008

order was given to ‘let go’ forward and aft. The ship slipped her lines and began to move off the berth. Three minutes later she was ‘under way’ using engines, moving ahead through Southampton Water towards Calshot. Rounding Calshot spit with the Brambles turn complete, the ship entered the Solent setting various south-easterly courses towards Nab Tower. The local pilot was disembarked and five minutes later the Captain rang ‘Full Away on Passage’. A south-easterly course was then set into the English Channel, before altering to the south-west to head towards the north-western shores of France, and the Bay of Biscay. DAY 2: During the early morning, the ship followed a series of south-westerly courses through the English Channel. Having cleared the English Channel, a course of 209 true was set making for the entrance into the Bay of Biscay. From departure from Southampton until noon this day the ship cruised a distance of 240 nautical miles at an average speed of 19.7 knots. DAY 3: The ship maintained the course 209 true and in the early hours of the morning cleared the Bay and set a course of 205 true for Madeira. From noon day 2 until noon day 3, the ship has cruised a total distance of 507nm at an average speed of 21.1 knots. DAY 4: Shortly before 08:42, the ship made landfall, off the Madeira archipelago, when the lle de Cima lighthouse off the coast of Porto Santo was sighted at a range of 24nm. At 12:00 the ship rounded the south-eastern tip of Madeira and paralleled the southern shores towards Funchal harbour. The pilot was boarded at 13:30 and on passing the breakwater the ship commenced swinging bow to starboard. 20 minutes later the ship was parallel to her berth and the order was given to commence ‘running lines’. By 14:15 the ship was all fast alongside her berth and with clearance granted, the first passengers proceeded ashore.

CRUISING

By Gerald Ruben

Funchal is the island capital and here visitors can see the old market where some of the wine shops are outstanding. The flower market in the same location offers a truly immense selection of orchids and other flowers which, depending on which ship you are on, you may be able to take back on board. Taxis are yellow with blue stripes, these normally have meters with set prices for destinations in and near Funchal. If you are going further afield, agree a price before setting off. The orange Horarios do Funchal buses operate regular services around the city and are inexpensive. Tickets can be bought at the kiosk on the seafront. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pargemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; indicates a bus stop.

The first port of call was Funchal, Madeira

Do try the local food: Espada - a scabbard fish often poached in white wine or fried with bananas. Espetada - skewered beef kebabs grilled over laurel twigs Pudim - caramel pudding in Madeira wine Bolo de Mel - Madeira honey cake Madeira wine is world famous and it is worth trying the different types. Malmsy is a full bodied sweet wine, Boal is a semi sweet dessert wine, Verdelho is a medium dry wine, and Sercial, the driest wine and rather like a sherry. Coral lager is an excellent local beer. The time in Madeira is the same as in Tenerife. One point worth noting is that 112 is an all purpose emergency number. In the next issue we will set sail for Barbados. If any reader would like to comment or relate any of their cruising experiences I would be delighted to hear from them. E-mail me on bendog@terra.es and mark the subject CRUISING. MAGAZINE

Madeira is roughly twice the size of the Isle of Wight. Pico Ruivo at 6,106 feet is 1,700 feet higher than Ben Nevis. The Encumeada road tunnel (1.9 miles) is the longest in Portugal. Madeira is especially famous for flowers and wine, and its population is about 280,000.

An excellent piece of advice we were given was to, “get to know the folks at the local ferreteria”. The lads at Guanipa speak no English but are very patient with my halting Spanish. They sell everything from buckets to budgie food, as well as most building supplies. They deliver the same day and have the cheapest skips around – only 50 euros as long as you only fill it with rubble.

3rd June: The ensuite bathroom needs a window. Actually, it also needs a toilet and basin, shower tray, drains, taps .... The previous owner had tiled it though.

16th June: The small garden is completely choked with weeds. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse, they have attacked the brickwork, grown through the walls and into the drains! Dinah attacked them with loppers and sprayed them with a powerful weed killer. 21st June: We painted just enough to put up the name and the letterbox. Perelandra is from a book by C.S. Lewis. It is the name he gave to the planet Venus.

By mid-July, thanks to the help of friends, we had cleared the rubble. Some of it went into two skips and some of it was used to level the courtyard.

Breaking up the rubble

Even the pick-axe was not enough to break up some of it.

4th July: At last, with the help of some friends, the rubble is either in the skip, or spread around to raise the ground level. If you have any questions about tiling or other DIY techniques, please feel free to email Robert at rmcplumb@yahoo.co.uk or phone 605 469 352.

New Mini Cooper Clubman We test drive the latest models The new Mini Cooper Clubman is the 21st century version of the model which was so popular in the 1960s. It is literally a miniature BMW throughout but inspired by the Morris Mini Traveller, Austin Mini Countryman and the Mini Clubman Estate. It stays true to the Mini design language, retaining the typical ‘bulldog’ stance with short body overhangs, wide track, long wheelbase, high shoulder line and round headlights, and at the same time takes account of the demands and technologies of the 21st century.

The new Mini Clubman retains the “bulldog” stance

The Mini was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered an icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front wheel drive layout (which allowed 80 per cent of the area of the car’s floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage) influenced

a generation of car-makers. The vehicle was in some ways considered the British equivalent to its German contemporary, the Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America. This distinctive two-door car was designed for BMC by Sir Alec Issigonis. It was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants in the United Kingdom, the Victoria Park / Zetland British Motor Corporation (Australia) factory in Sydney, Australia, and later also in Spain (Authi), Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. The Mini Mark I had three major UK updates: the Mark II, the Clubman and the Mark III. Within these was a series of variations including an estate car, a pickup truck, a van and the Mini Moke — a jeep-like buggy. The Mini Cooper and Cooper “S” were sportier versions that were successful as rally cars, winning the Monte Carlo Rally three times. Minis were marketed under the

Austin and Morris names until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. Now completely built by BMW, all models have high performance four-cylinder engines developed specifically for the second generation Mini which guarantee driving pleasure combined with remarkable efficiency and a six-speed manual gearbox as standard and automatic as optional. The Mini Cooper S Clubman is powered by a 1.6 litre 175hp petrol engine with direct injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger complete with intercooler.

the most environmentally friendly engines available. Auto Start-Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and a Gearshift Point Indicator are standard on all models. The new Auto Start-Stop function on all manual gearbox versions reduces fuel consumption and emissions while the car is standing still. Whenever the car comes to a stop, the engine automatically switches off as soon as you shift to neutral and take your foot off the clutch. Press the clutch again and the engine re-starts immediately. Brake Energy Regeneration ensures that engine output is converted primarily into drive power, with electricity being generated for the on-board network only when the engine is on overrun or during application of the brakes. To achieve this, the alternator is automatically disengaged from the engine while under power so the power the alternator would normally consume now remains fully available for even faster acceleration. An adequate supply of electrical energy to the on-board system is nevertheless ensured at all times, since the alternator is activated again as soon as the Mini returns to overrun or the driver applies the brakes. With the Gearshift Point Indicator, the ideal ‘economy’ gear is shown by a number in the cockpit display beneath the rev counter. The electronic engine ‘brain’ analyses engine speed, driving conditions and the position of the accelerator pedal to calculate the most efficient driving style and suggests the appropriate gear. These three fun and practical vehicles make good use of space, allow easier access with innovative door concepts, give more space for rear seat passengers and high safety levels. The Mini Cooper Clubman and the MINI Cooper D Clubman have 15-inch alloy rims, while the Mini Cooper S Clubman features 16-inch wheels. There is no spare wheel, but the special run-flat tyres

A 1970s Mini Clubman

The seats, although fairly hard, are surprisingly comfortable, and we noticed sun visors not only in front of us, but on the side doors as well. It has loads of acceleration and seems to like driving at the top end. The Mini Cooper Clubman feels like a fun vehicle, almost like a rally car (we would have loved to have taken it off-road!). The Electric Power Assisted Steering is not progressive at all but gives you direct feedback, contributing to the pin-point accuracy of the vehicle. Weighing less than a conventional steering system, it saves energy as the electric motor is only activated when power assistance is required. With this in mind, it took us some time to become accustomed to handling the Mini, but it is a very sporty drive with its BMW engine giving a throaty roar. The Clubman ironed out bumps in the road despite its firm suspension and didn’t seem to mind being pushed around bends on country lanes. Big door mirrors added to the already good all-round vision and the chunky, solid look of the car. The new generation of the Mini is the world’s only compact premium car to combine fascinating design with incomparably agile driving characteristics, quality and safety of the highest level, a wide range of customisation options, and truly outstanding efficiency. For more information, contact Canaauto at Las Chafiras or telephone 902 429242.

The Clubdoor allows easy access for rear seat passengers

with the two-piece split doors which have separate windscreen wipers. Rear passengers have easy access with the Clubdoor on the passenger side of the vehicle. For safety reasons, this can only be used when the passenger door is open, and opens out towards the rear. Not needing an outside door handle, it blends into the Clubman’s body. Six airbags are standard as are ABS anti-locking brakes, EBD Electronic Brake Force Distribution, CBC Cornering Brake Control, DSC Dynamic Stability Control and ASC+T Automatic Stability Control + Traction. Included within DSC is Hill Assist which holds a manual Mini on the brake for a few seconds on a hill start to stop it rolling back. We drove the Mini Cooper Clubman with the 120hp engine, with an on-the-road price of €21,700 and options available at extra cost. It is very roomy inside and we just loved the oversized speedometer in the centre front. The clear dashboard display shows the rev counter, indicators and hazard warnings, main beam, and comprehensive output from the onboard computer. There are plenty of storage compartments and drinks holders, and generally the interior gives a sporty feel with contrasting colours and lots of chrome. The doors close with a firm ‘clunk’. Everything is well made, in true BMW style.

5th Open and ProAm at Tecina Golf

Luis Claveríe scores a double victory The 5th Professional Open Isla de La Gomera, the 11th test in the Peugeot-Leowe tour, took place on the first three days of October at Tecina Golf, and was followed by a Pro-Am tournament on the 4th in which 20 professionals and 60 amateurs competed on a sunny day with a few clouds, and occasional strong breezes adding an extra challenge to their game. Most teams took four to five hours to complete the course. The longest drive trophies were taken by Janet Billing and 16 year-old Leonardo Lindhart.

main courses, including moussaka, stifado, soutsoukia, keftedes, kleftico and souvlaki, or several Greek mese concoctions enabling you to try small portions of several dishes. Fish and seafood, pizzas, lamb, pork, steak, chicken and vegetarian dishes are available, and children have their own menu. For an aperitif, try an Ouzo, and if you really want to go Greek, Retsina or Nemea wine with your meal, or choose from their extensive wine list. In true Greek style, you could follow it with a Metaxa brandy. Unobtrusive live music provides a background to this spacious restaurant where grape vines dangle from the ceilings. The chef, Cristof, also sings for his supper. When we visited, we ordered tsatsiki and taramosalata with pitta bread, and for our main course the mountain dish (a lamb speciality) and soutsoukia (Greek meatballs in a spicy sauce), all accompanied by fresh vegetables and rice. We asked for baklava for dessert, but it is so popular they had run out, so we followed the chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice and ordered galaktoboureko, which was an absolutely delicious alternative. Our verdict? The excellent quality and presentation of the food, views across the sea to La Gomera and that typical Greek hospitality will surely make you want to return again and again.

If you have ever holidayed in Greece or the Greek islands, then you will certainly have fond memories of their tavernas and the wonderful food they serve. The Greek Corner, opposite the beach in Playa de las AmĂŠricas, which serves an ample range of traditional Greek and international dishes is sure to revive those memories.

The opening night Scenes from the opening night of Airam, another mind-blowing show from Carmen Mota and Joaquín Marcelo, and the cocktail party which followed. Airam, currently running at the Pirámide de Arona in Playa de las Américas, is the diminutive choreographer’s ninth show in Tenerife. The first half sees some heart-stopping dancing by the 30-strong cast. Lighting and costumes (and costume changes) are stunning. The main story of the evening, Airam, is based on the Victor/Victoria smash Broadway musical and Blake Edwards film, and follows the fortunes of Maria (Raquel Ariza), a young Flamenco dancer in 1940’s Andalusia. Unable to find work and following a series of mishaps – and some great dance numbers - she is persuaded by the theatre manager (a five star performance from Basilio Díaz), to dance as a man. Enter a famous bullfighter and his not so famous girlfriend and the scene is set for confusion, love triangles, secrets, passion and lots of intrigue not to mention a few bedroom

Hibiscus

The hibiscus is a tropical plant which loves sunshine

There are about eight varieties of single hibiscus and two varieties of doubles, all of which give the most wonderful display of magical blooms. This is a tropical plant which loves warm weather. Most people buy them when they are in flower. They can be planted out in the garden or in tubs, but bear in mind that the size of the pot controls the size of the plant. Hibiscuses need watering well in hot weather until they are established, but water them only when the soil is dry, giving them a good soaking. They like rich, moist, free-draining soil with all the sun that they can get and do particularly well in areas with

NOVEMBER 2008

little rain. Use a loose mix, which includes sharp sand and don’t pack it down too hard. Once established, hibiscuses need very little care. They have a long dormant period, usually in the spring, when they ‘play dead’. But don’t let this unnerving behaviour fool you. Their stems can remain bare for several months and when the leaves do emerge, they can be yellowish, soon becoming darker. If you want a smaller bush, just prune it. Be bold and take the plant down to one stem every spring and you will be rewarded with plenty of large flowers. Remove

home & garden any side shoots which grow contrary to your desired shape. Many gardeners do not realise that as you prune the plant, the reaction is that the roots inside the soil will also automatically self-prune. As the roots retract, they leave tiny tunnels of air in the soil. The outer dimensions of the bush determine the outer limits of the roots whose border is the drip line from the leaves.

With a little care, you will be rewarded with many blooms

For those who grow hibiscuses in tubs, do not be tempted to repot them when they appear to be rootbound. It can be done, but unlike other root-bound plants that respond well to having their matted roots teased out, hibiscus roots tolerate only very gentle handling. Be extremely gentle and careful not to disturb them. In many cases it is better to just scrape the soil away from the top of the pot and replace with new compost. Remember that white roots usually mean that the plant is fit, while darker roots can be a sign of poor health.

Buying crafts

La Venta, in Buenavista del Norte

There are many craft shops in the island, but La Venta, tucked away in the corner of the church square in Buenavista del Norte, has to be unique in its aspect and outlook. Once upon a time, every neighbourhood had its Venta and the venteros and venteras who worked there were an important part of the community. Local products were brought to them to be weighed and sold and they searched for items not produced locally and brought them to their small shops in isolated communities, often on their own backs or on those of a donkey or mule. 38

NOVEMBER 2008

With the improved transport system and the growth of supermarkets and hypermarkets, many of these local stores have closed down and a piece of local history was lost. La Venta in Buenavista opened in January of 2005 as a homage to all those small-shopkeepers and as a space for the sale of craft products and in particular craft items made in the Teno Rural Park. In among vintage scales and old photographs arranged on painted wooden shelves you will find sauces and jams, liqueurs, biscuits, cakes and meringues, musical instruments and the poles the goat herders used which are now used for the sport of salto del pastor (goat herderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leap). Look out for

Hotel Rural

Finca La Hacienda the cheeses of Teno Alto, honey from Masca or wine and gofio (ground toasted cereal seeds) from El Palmar. Local hands have also crafted wicker covered bottles or wicker lampshades and vases, woven straw and reed baskets, palm leaf bags and hats, moulded pottery figures and Guanche (original island habitants) clayware and carved wooden miniatures of everyday farm objects. Modern crafts people contribute hand-made soaps and some exquisite pieces of original jewellery using various natural elements. What makes this centre so unusual is that the sale price of the items is agreed beforehand with the artisans who thereby receive a fair price for their work and the shop takes just a small benefit to allow them to cover part of the costs of being open. The idea is to help maintain the cultural heritage of the area and the continuity of the traditional activities of Teno. La Venta is the brainchild of Valerio del Rosario MartĂn, a young man with a firm commitment to the community and the local heritage. He runs his environmental education service from the same premises, offering advice on how to get to the main areas of Teno Rural Park and a specialised guide service for those who want it with a wide range of guided routes in the area. Valerio is also the person responsible for the running of the marvellous refuge in the same park for overnight stays. The shop acts as an information point for visitors to the area too and stocks everything for the hikerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs as well as a wide range of books, CDs, DVDs, photographs and souvenirs.

The Meddler

In a forest deep as the sea and dark as your pocket, the trees could not find the light, so they twisted and turned, tangling their arms, holding each other in knotty embraces.

There was only the wind, rain and dark left for the meddler. He sat in his tangled tree drumming his long fingers; what to do now? But he was unaware that the dark, wind and rain were angry for all the confused meddled animals, and they threw a great storm at the sad bony trees. The meddler was tossed up above the forest, into the fierce wind, which pulled his thread fingers from his hands one by one, ripped his scrap of bark body in two, and scattered his eyes up to the heavens to glitter with the stars.

In the black branches lived the meddler. Small, his body a twist of tree bark, eyes brighter than the stars hovering above the matted canopy, he liked to mix up the animals in the forest, taking parts from each and making new, strange creatures. With the darkness at its thickest, he slipped from the desperate trees, hanging delicately from his long thin fingers. A silent raindrop, he landed on the animal’s head. Through its ear he crawled, to its eyes, leg, tail or foot, and nibbled away. When enough pieces were stored in his tree’s black crown the meddler’s nimble fingers would stitch a new creature into being, and drop it back down to the forest floor to wend its muddled way through the loam. But then he dropped onto a badger-snouted fox. There was nothing of the animal he wanted to salvage. The next day, it was a wolf with a hare’s hind legs. A wren with beetle’s wings. There were no more animals to meddle.

One day a weary backpacker asked him if it was true he had never been to Tralee. He smiled a slow gummy smile, took a long draw on his pipe and with a twinkle in his eyes said “Well, what would I be going there for?” and waving his blackthorn stick in a wide sweep he added, “Haven’t I got everything here.”

Milou

Ad feature

When Fabi and Oscar decided to open Milou, their pet boutique in Callao Salvaje, they knew that it had to be much more than just a run of the mill pet shop or grooming salon. As dog owners and animal lovers the pair (Fabi is Belgian and Oscar is Argentinean) had initially thought about opening a kennel. However as that idea began to fade they looked at the idea of a boutique. They were quite sure that they didn’t want to sell pets, but did want to offer owners something new, a place that would help them give their special friends a special treat, and offer a hair cutting/grooming section too. Milou Edif. Aguaviva Callao Salvaje 922 742 195 Monday 5pm to 8pm Tuesday to Saturday 9.30am to 1.30pm and 5pm to 8pm Dog grooming by appointment

And so Milou was born – named after one of their own lovely dogs, and is a real treasure trove for pets. Apart from carrying top pet food brands (Iams, Eukanuba, Royal Canin, Whiskas to name a few) Milou also has one of the best quality ranges of toys on the island, delightful beds, pillows and blankets, essential scratching posts, poo collectors and feeding bowls and dispensers, and clothes and accessories that will make any pooch proud – and they are waiting for some really special Christmas deliveries too. Fabi has trained extensively in pet grooming and has learnt extra techniques in England and Belgium and Oscar is a qualified canine groomer. They also offer Reiki for your pets, and are often busy helping out animals that are being cared for by the voluntary charities in Tenerife. For all your pet’s needs and something extra to remind them of how special they are to you, visit Milou, in Callao Salvaje, Edif Aguaviva (above Titanic Restaurant). To book a canine cut call 922 742 195 – they speak English.

Phil and Mike â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the English upholsterers, have been in Tenerife for five years and they provide bar seating for nearly every bar in the south and reupholster peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sofas and chairs from Los Gigantes to Puerto de la Cruz. Phil says the secret of their success is relatively simple, â&#x20AC;&#x153;always turn up on time, provide a fixed price quote and do everything humanly possible to meet promised delivery timesâ&#x20AC;?. Phil is a bit of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;design guruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; having spent many years in the interiors industry. He will visit your home with fabric samples to help you choose the right colour and pattern. Mike, however is a master craftsman, and sofas he designed and created have won many awards in the UK. If you want an upholstery job done well, there is one obvious choice in Tenerife â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Style Upholstery.

Rooster mates Dragon – understanding Dog – very loving relationship Pig – incredibly supportive

Mis-match

By Karen Swift

Dragon – misunderstand each other Monkey – conflicting relationship Rat – not very close

The Chinese year 4706 began on 7th February. The Chinese name each calendar year after an animal and this year is the Year of the Rat. There are twelve animal signs in the Chinese zodiac. According to Chinese custom, people born during that year will have the characteristics of that animal. This month The Magazine takes a look at the Rooster. People born under the sign of the Rooster are usually hard-working, good decision makers and are not afraid to speak their minds. Are you a Rooster? If you were born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993 or 2005 then you most certainly are. Famous Rooster people include Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton, Mia Farrow and Yoko Ono. Roosters are very loyal people, who dislike dishonesty. But they have a tendency to brag about themselves, which some people find overbearing. Roosters are at their best when they are surrounded by others as they enjoy being in the spotlight. Financially they are quite good at handling their money. Career wise Roosters make good actors, dancers and musicians. On the academic side they make good bankers, public accountants and dentists.

Aries Roosters – speak in terms that people understand and are trustworthy. Taurean Roosters – take on a lot of responsibility, but they will finish any task. Gemini Roosters – like maintaining good relationships and are lovable and solid. Cancerian Roosters – a bit rough around the edges, but are very sweet people. Leonine Roosters – flamboyant and full of energy, but are sincere and compassionate. Virgo Roosters – very logical people with a great eye for detail. Libran Roosters – Sophisticated and cool and hate anything disorganised. Scorpio Roosters – very determined and motivated, but can be deeply emotional. Sagittarian Roosters – free spirited, relaxed and down to earth people. Capricorn Roosters – want nothing more than to succeed, but want to be in charge. Aquarian Roosters – like to stand out in a crowd, but don’t like being tied down. Piscean Roosters – take into account other people’s feelings and dislike confrontation.

Sudoku

How to play Sudoku The aim of the puzzle is to enter a numeral from 1 through 9 in each cell of a grid, starting with various numerals given in some cells -the ‘givens’. Each row, column and 3x3 block must contain only one instance of each numeral.

Futoshiki < <

How to play Futoshiki

Just like Sudoku you must fit digits into a grid of squares so that no digit is repeated within a row or column, but unlike Sudoku the 3x3 squares are replaced with greater-than and less-than symbols. The numbers 1 to 5 must fit into the 5x5 grid so that no number is repeated in a row or column, and so that the inequality (greater-than and less-than) signs are obeyed.
