Happy November everyone.

great

weather? We are all keeping our fingers crossed it stays this way for our Expat Lifestyle Live show on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th November at La Laguna

Hotel in Doña Pepa, Quesada. We hope to see you all there for a great few days of full of useful information, cookery and cocktail making demonstrations and live music as well as great arts and crafts. It’s free – sign up to register and test your luck to win a spa day for 2 (see pages 16 and 17).

Also, this month, as a lot of you will be aware, it is Armistice Day on 11th November and Remembrance Sunday on 13th November, when we remember all of those who fought and died for us.

Talking Wine with Moira Carmenate, Expat Lifestyle

Cuenca – the most expensive wine in the world

Overlooking the River Júcar in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha is the historical city of Cuenca. Since it was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996, Cuenca’s main economy comes from tourism. In addition to the touristic interest in the historical churches, cathedrals and museums, one of the areas of growing popularity for tourists are the vineyards and bodegas that produce the wines La Mancha Denomination of Origin.

Wineries in Cuenca, as with many areas of Spain, were influenced by ecclesiastical orders. Monks travelled from France bringing with them knowledge and experience to improve the production methods in the medieval vineyards.

Castilla-La Mancha is Spain’s largest wine producing area and the world’s largest continuous wine producing region. La Mancha has over 190,000 hectares of vines and covers the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Toledo and Cuenca.

Cuenca has many small vineyards and surprisingly one small winery in Las Pedroñeras has made headlines in the global press for producing the most exclusive and most expensive wine in the world. Hilario Garcia, owner of Bodega Aurum Red has a wine that has a starting price at auction of 340,000 euros. Señor Garcia produces limited quantities of his exclusive wines – 300 bottles of his Gold Series which typically sells around 25,000 euros a bottle, and his Silver Series with a production volume around 5,000 bottles selling at around 110 euros.

Fancy something a little more affordable, there are many wineries to choose from in Cuenca. One beautiful vineyard with excellent wines is La NIÑA de Cuenca. Conferred Denominación de Origen Manchuela, the vineyard is in the town of Ledañan, harvesting the best grapes to create artisan wines, produced in limited quantities, fermented and aged in earthenware jars.

Producing a range of red wines, white wines and rose wines, one bottle that has great acclaim is RUBATOS produced from the Bobal grape variety which is dry farmed and cultivated in calcareous clay at 725 metres above sea level. Harvested by hand, the grapes are fermented in 500 and 1000 litre earthenware jars for ten months, then bottled and left for another three months before leaving the cellar. Production is limited and each bottle is numbered. A 2018 bottle will set you back a mere 16.75 euros.

3. Drain the potatoes and leave in pan to dry and cool then roughly mash.

4. Add the lightly roasted salmon, making sure to remove any skin or bones, to the mashed potato and add in the chopped parsley and a tablespoon of flour.

5. Roll the salmon and potato mix into balls and place on plate.

6. Put flour with salt, pepper and paprika into a bowl.

7. Put the beaten egg into a bowl and the breadcrumbs into another bowl.

8. Flatten the fish balls to make a patty and then dip in flour, egg and breadcrumbs and put onto a large plate and store in fridge until you are ready to fry.

9. When ready, heat the oil in a deep-frying pan until hot and gently fry your fishcakes turning once to ensure they are golden brown on both sides.

10. Transfer to oven and keep warm whilst you make the rest

11. Serve and enjoy.

I have great memories of Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve) in Scotland and people queuing at the butchers to collect their prepared Steak and Kidney Pies. My grandmother always made her own and always with puff pastry. Tradition was it would be eaten at around 11 p.m., prior to the bells ringing at midnight. It was “mandatory” to have everything cleaned up and not a dirty dish or cloth in the house when we would “bring in” the new year. The steak and kidney pie and accompanying mashed potatoes, was important in lining the stomachs of the people going out “first footin” (visiting people after midnight) to celebrate the new year with all neighbours and friends -and of course accompanied by the mandatory glass of whisky. Of course, steak and kidney pie, or just steak pie, is a well-loved dish all year round in Britain. Hope you enjoy yours.

Method

Ingredients:

1 block frozen puff pastry

1 egg

700g diced braising steak

200g diced kidney

2 diced onions

2 tbsp vegetable oil

30g plain flour

850ml beef stock

Dash of Worcester sauce Salt & pepper

1. Defrost pastry. On a floured surface, roll out pastry to ¼ inch thick and to the size of your pie tin. Keep in fridge until ready to use.

2. Pre-heat oven to 220C.

3. Heat vegetable oil in large pan and brown the diced beef. Add the kidneys and brown for a couple of minutes, then add diced onions and cook until onions have softened.

4. Add the flour to the meat, covering well and gently add the stock and bring to the boil.

5. Simmer for 1-2 hours depending on size of meat chunks until they are tender.

6. Season with salt and pepper, Worcester sauce then add meat to your pie tin and allow to cool.

7. Remove pastry from fridge and allow to come to room temperature.

8. Brush the edges of your pie tin with water and place pastry top over the top, crimp edges to seal.

9. Brush pastry with beaten egg and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.

10. Serve with creamy mash.

Steak and Kidney Pie(or leave out the kidney if you don’t like o al)

What is a clootie dumpling?

It’s a little bit like a Christmas pudding but not so rich and spicy and minus the rum, brandy or whisky. Scots would rather drink the whisky than put it in the pud.

Clootie – is an old Scottish name for a cloth and it was an ancient cooking method that has survived in Scotland, but I am sure only for us of a certain age.

If you fancy a bit of tradition, give it a go. The main dumpling can be served on its own, enjoyed with a cup of tea, or served with custard or some whipped cream. One of my favourites, although maybe not so healthy but delicious, is the old Boxing Day tradition of frying it in butter and serving with bacon and eggs. My Grandmother followed tradition by putting “lucky” sixpences in the pudding. But if you want to avoid a trip to the dentist, maybe give that a miss.

Get your cloth out, even an old pillowcase, and give it a go – you won’t be disappointed.

Tips

• Use a large pan to allow mixture to expand.

• Don’t try and rush this, you need to have patience.

• Temperature will depend on your hob

• A sugar thermometer is a great help - should reach 120C

• If no thermometer, carefully use drop test when it looks like its nearly ready, this is how my grandmother did it as they didn’t have sugar thermometers in those days

• Drop test = put a little chilled water in a cup or on a saucer and drop a teaspoon of your mixture into the water, if it turns to a fudge like consistency, it is ready.

• When you beat the mixture, make sure you beat for a good 10 or 15 minutes, better than going to the gym, and helps with the guilt when you eat the tablet later! It has to thicken, or it won’t set.

• Overall – be careful as melted sugar can give you a serious burn.

Cranachan started its life as a breakfast dish rather than a dessert – and why not. It is so quick and easy to make. Stack a few in your fridge and have for breakfast to brighten your start to the day or dessert , or both. You can leave out the alcohol and just add the honey. I often add some cinnamon to the oats when they are being toasted. Be inventive and enjoy.

Overall, when a cold hits you, stay home, drink plenty of fluids, gargle with salt water, keep the air in your room moist, get plenty of rest and sleep. So grab your duvet, switch off your phone, kick back, destress and soon it will be on its way.

Are you living with an addict?

What is addiction?

The most common addiction is to alcohol and drugs although addiction encompasses many other substances and behaviours. Addiction is a disfunction of the brain’s reward, motivation, and memory system. It controls how your body craves a substance, or a behaviour, and causes compulsion and obsession when craving the rewards. This compulsion in turn means the addict loses control and is oblivious to, or disregards, any negative consequences. Addiction is a disease and affects people from all walks of life and socio-economic groups.

You think your partner or family member is an addict

Living with an addict isn’t easy and leaving isn’t easy either, especially when you love someone. When you realise that your partner is an addict and you have decided to stay, to support them, there are some hard realities you will need to accept.

Your partner will be dishonest

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but your partner will lie about where they have been and what they have been doing. They won’t be honest about where the money is going, why they were late getting home and who they were with. They will lie about their intention to get sober or drug or gambling free and continue to tell. Tell you what you want to hear just to stop you going on at them. The reality is they are also lying to themselves.

What are the signs?

There are many signs, and because someone will try and hide their addiction to the outside world, and to themselves, it can sometimes take time before you realise there is a problem.

A few brief signs include:

• Your partner is unable to stay away from a particular substance, maybe alcohol or drugs or both. Or addictive behaviour such as gambling.

• Dismissive of how their behaviour is having a negative impact on your relationship.

• Lacks self-control.

• Lacks any emotional response.

• Impaired ability to retain self-control.

• Becoming more secretive.

Some of the emotional behaviours include:

• Blames others for their problems.

• Displays anxiety, sadness and depression.

• More sensitive and emotional.

• Increases aggression or irritability.

Physical symptoms include:

• Bloodshot or glazed eyes.

• Changes in hygiene.

• Skin problems – blotches, spots, rashes.

• Dilated or constricted pupils.

• Insomnia or sleeping too much.

Your partner will be unreliable

Expect to be let down regularly when you are living with an addict. Promises will be made and broken time and time again. No matter how many apologies they make, the will continue to abuse your trust. The addiction is in control of your partner and whilst they are using abusive substances, this will never stop as addiction and irresponsible behaviour go hand in hand.

You will lose friends

Your friends may see the deceit before you do. Often love is blind and you are eternally hopeful that your partner is going to stop with their abusive behaviour. You may see friends and family declining invitations as they are uncom fortable being around your partner and more and more start to avoid you. This can lead to you feeling isolated.

You can’t make them change

Often partners think that their support, advice, encouragement, and love will be enough to convince their loved one to stop their addictive behaviours. However, the fact is that no matter how much you try, even enlisting help of friends and family, or giving them ultimatums, they have to do this for themselves.

Consequences

There has to be consequences. If you are making threats, sugges�ng if they don't stop, you will leave or whatever threat you may make and then subsequently nothing changes, your addict partner will not stop. Why should they - they know these are false threats. If you are going to make an impact, you need to follow through-with your threats. If you say it, you must be willing to do it.

You or your partner may need to leave

Sometimes things have gone too far, and nothing has worked, and they are not going to get professional help. They may have hit rock bottom, but you need to stay strong and not hit rock bottom too. It can be a hard realisation, but you deserve better and although leaving isn’t easy – sometimes it’s for the best.

Recovery options

It is better that your partner enters a recovery programme voluntarily. Success rates are better when starting a programme is by choice. Often rehab centres have many people who had no option but to attend a rehabilitation centre, often being ordered by a court following a violation of the law. Regardless of why someone starts a rehabilitation programme, it is a journey. It is not a magic wand that takes away the problem. It requires work, motivation and lifelong commitment. But everything starts with small steps and only the person with the addiction can choose to take those steps towards recovery.

Little steps lead to big changes Don’t wait until it’s too late

Talking Travel

with David’s Coach Trips

Castilla-La Mancha is a large, diverse, yet sparsely populated region situated in central east Spain. Incorporating the capital city of Toledo and other major cities such as Albacete, Ciudad Real and Guadalajara. While all of the cities are worth a visit, the city of Cuenca and its surrounding area must surely be the gem in the crown of this region.

An excellent base for your visit to the Cuenca province, is the small village of Cañete. A lovely little village with a present day population of only 700 people, which was once very much the hub of political activity in the province during the medieval Chrisitian era.

The original 9th century fortifying walls which enclose the village bear witness to its former glories. The river Tinte cascades in an impressive waterfall into the valley. A bust of the former constable of Castilla-La Mancha gazes silently over the village square which, once his seat of power, still retains some of the structures which date back to the 14th century.

From Canete you can travel through pine forest, deep gorges, alongside sparkling rivers, to the magnificent ciudad encantada (Enchanted City), the window of the devil, see eagles and vultures soar over the sky blue waters of Tobar reservoir, and see the young river Cuervo bubbling out of the rocks at its source.Then going on to produce a stunning waterfall.

Follow this with a visit to the City of Cuenca which owes its existence to the hard working , cultured Moorish people whose gravity defying building tech niques somehow allowed them to build this city on the edge of the soaring cliffs which overlook the most spectacularly, ruggedly beautiful gorges.

Below the city, the mighty river Jucar ploughs its way through one side of the gorge, while the smaller river Huecar meanders down the other side of the gorge. It was in the early 8th century that the Moores replaced the Christian Visigoths and embarked on the massive task of building a city overlooking the gorges that surrounded them.

Spotlight on Cuenca

A city gate and ancient walls still stretch along the upper regions of the city. Narrow cobble streets wind between formidable stone built buildings to the old town square. This journey can easily be made on foot, although a regular bus service, a charming little mini train, or even a taxi takes some of the effort out of this.

While making your way to town, look out for the "eyes of the Moore" on the hillside. Two large blue eyes gazing hauntingly down on the city below. Arriving at the small but charming town square you cannot fail to be impressed. At the far end an ornate archway which also houses the town hall leads out of the historic district and into the new town.

On either side street cafes and restaurants, usually buzzing with life, provide refreshment and suste nance. The large imposing Gothic style cathedral of Santa Maria la Mayor, so perfectly formed that you might think it to be a cardboard cut out, dominates the top of the square. Inside the cathe dral, you will be struck by the light produced by the large stained glass windows .

Five minutes walk away are the famous hanging houses of Cuenca, and the 100metre long and very high bridge of San Pablo (not for the faint hearted), which leads to the old Convent which is now one of the Parador chain of hotels. In one of the hanging houses you can visit the National Museum of abstract art. With so many places to see in the city, a visit to the tourist office which is at the foot of the town square is always a good

David's Coachtrips offer a 3 day excursion which takes in all the above with a few (nice) surprises along the way.

Inheritance Tax Planning

Making plans for when you die isn’t easy however it Is important to ensure that your property and assets pass to those you care about.

There are many differences in the laws of succession and inheritance tax here in Spain than those of your home country.

A key difference in Spain is that all beneficiaries must declare their inheritance and surprisingly to many inheritors, especially where property is concerned, the tax must be paid before a property can be sold.

However, it is not just the property that’s taxed, it’s also monies

The inheritance tax declaration must be made within six months and if not a levy of 5% is charged for every three months up to a maximum of 20% on top of the bill.

In Spain the taxes vary depending on which autonomous community your property is located. Another factor on tax levels is your relationship to the deceased.

In short, if you have assets in Spain, you need to plan ahead to make sure your plans are tax efficient for your beneficiaries. Here at Costasea, we

Let me tell the story of welfare in Spain and the never-ending, .selfless effort that goes into supporting Benefi ciaries who find them selves in need of the Legion’s support.

We work hard to recruit volunteer case workers with a little time and a passion to support and enable benefi ciaries to live the best life they can. We work closely together as a team to understand our Beneficiaries’ needs and support them. Without willing volunteers, there is no team, so we support those Volunteers with training, mentorship and expenses. They then go on to provide the service wherever and whenever it is needed across a large part of Spain and the islands.

We are always looking for telephone buddies and Hospital and house bound visitors as well in the local commu nity to support veterans and their nearest and dearest. Again, training and support is part of our commitment to them.

To give you just a flavour of how these activities work in tandem, here are just a few of the many stories cover ing the whole range of activities from our Headquarters in London right through to the Beneficiaries who need our help:

Rachel Coles – Overseas Team Leader

I’ve worked for the RBL for ten years – starting as an Administrator in the East Anglia & Essex team before moving onto welfare-related projects and then taking up the post of Team Leader, Overseas. I manage a team of two Case Officers and currently have two Advice & Information Officers seconded to the team. The team was assembled six months before the Covid-19 pandemic and our caseload has significantly expanded to (more than) fill our staff capacity.

We are extremely grateful for our network of branches and volunteers overseas who under take a high volume of casework on our behalf – we really couldn’t do this without them!

Dianne Findlay-Craig – Caseworker

“When I arrived at the course with a basic knowledge of what welfare caseworkers did in their role - however I only knew 10%! What an amazing job these volunteers do and I am now extremely proud to call myself one. I look forward to the role and hope that the trust and faith placed in me by the RBL proves to be well founded!

A few months on I have finished my mentorship and working with beneficiaries. It is hard work but amazing and I am still well supported with each case.”

Billie Graham-Thomas and Carl Thomas – Beneficiaries turned Caseworkers

I am a disabled Royal Navy Veteran I was injured in service when I was attached the Royal Marines back in 1997 and medically discharged in 1998. My husband Carl is also a veter an and he served in the Royal Air Force for 30 years before leaving at the end of his long career in 2015.

We moved to Spain whilst Carl was on official resettlement leave from the Royal Air Force in December of 2014. Everything went well, and we settled down into Spanish life.

A few years later I needed an operation which when being able bodied would be fine but being disabled and having to use crutches and a mobility scooter wasn’t so great and we found that I wouldn’t be able to get around my home on the mobility scooter I had as it was too large for use in the house and I wouldn’t be able to use the crutches due to the nature of the operation I was having. I needed a smaller electric wheel chair that would be suitable to get into the car too.

We spoke to a lovely lady called Pam Twissell-Cross MBE who is the District Coordinator at the Royal British Legion Spain District North who really put us at ease with her calm manner and down to earth attitude, we explained that we really did not have to funds to purchase the wheelchair and car hoist. A caseworker was assigned to us, and we were granted assistance. Without the help that we received we would have been really struggling, but I had a whole new lease of life.

I can even get out on my own when needed too and safely in the knowledge that I don’t have any problem getting the wheelchair in and out of the car on my own due to the hoist that was funded by the Royal British legion and the Wheelchair that was funded by the Royal British Legion. In fact, my husband and I were so overwhelmed with the help that we received that we both went on to become caseworkers here in Spain District North.

My husband Carl is now the Chairperson of the Murcia branch and I and the Branch Community Support for our branch.

We pay it forward in the hope that we can help more veterans in our area and get the message that the Royal British Legion here in Spain are here to help if we can.

From a home visit to help with forms to a visit at home or hospital if you can’t get out, maybe you would like a phone buddy someone to talk to, to full blown welfare cases.

All of this vital support activity is overseen by the Legion’s central Overseas Support Team in London, who support all Veterans who reside outside of the UK. The team Leader is Rachel Coles, who somehow pulls all of this together and is our advocate in the UK to support and enable us to provide where ever possible a beneficiary needs to improve the quality of their life.

The Beneficiaries

Of course the story wouldn’t be complete without hearing just some of the stories of those who have been helped by the Legion in the recent past. We are grateful to them for agreeing to let us share their stories.

Paul and Theresa Issitt

We moved to Spain in 2007, both got jobs and a house. We moved into the last one 4½ years ago. All was going well, the COVID hit. I was put on ERTE but had to wait 7 months for my money, my husband lost his job, so we lived on our savings until they ran out. After COVID we went back to work but we got behind in the rent.

The Royal British Legion were fantastic in assisting us with the rent. But in the meantime we received a letter from our landlord, telling us we must vacate the house so she can put her daughter in, as she had been evicted. So we were going to be homeless: this was summer, so no places to rent. But we managed to get a holiday let, this is where the Royal British Legion assisted us again. Then again with the removals.

We are now in a new home and unpacking the boxes (brings back memories of military life). Without the help of the Royal British Legion, we don’t know what would have happened to us. We cannot thenk them enough and this was a very stressful and anxious time. Our caseworker, Bille, was amazing, also Pamela Twissell-Cross. These ladies are voluntary but with kind words and compassion we got through a bad situa tion to a good place.

We would like to thank the beneficiaries, the caseworkers and the UK team who have shared their stories for this piece. However, the number of Veterans and their dependants who need support is constantly increasing. If you know of anyone who needs our help, or you need it yourself, you can get in touch with us using the contact details on Page (…) of this programme. Of course, this means that we are always in need of more Volunteers to help support them – if you have the time and qualities to join our team and help to provide that vital support, please get in touch.
