At last, after months of driving the roads of Spain illegally, a Spanish driving license is on its way into my glove compartment!

English people can usually get away with using an English driving license, even if they have taken residency in Spain. But if the photocard expires (like mine did five months ago), then that’s when problems can arise.

I no longer have a UK address so I had to be honest and admit that I was now a resident in Spain. The DVLA staff told me they couldn’t do anything more and that I’d have to seek assistance from the Spanish authorities. Pah! And like many things of an ‘official’ nature in Spain, that wasn’t an easy task. Firstly, I rang the trafico department, who told me they couldn’t help. Then I rang a couple of other trafico-related people who said they couldn’t help either. More like they didn’t WANT to help…!

In the end I had no choice but to go directly to the trafico office in Malaga City with a bag-full of every document they might ask for.

And fortunately it all went surprisingly well.

I had to pay 26€ for tax and 30€ for a medical certificate, which involved a fake eye sight test, a blood pressure check and a reflex test which involved having my knees banged with something that looked like a hammer. I also had to fill in a few forms….And that was pretty much it.

From The Ed (cont) would call me within a few weeks and then I can return to collect my new driving license. Whoooopeeee!

With my driving problem solved I then had to sort out my mortgage payments. As interest rates have dropped substantially within the last six months I knew I could shop around for a better mortgage than my current bank offered. In fact the new mortgage is so much better that it works out that I pay about half of what I paid before. Want to know the bank in question?

Email me to find out.

So for me, April was very much a month of finding solutions and taking action. And this month is totally choc-a-block with new ventures and exciting projects. All I need now is for the sun to come out and stay out!!

Strange News Back To Primary School For Gran, 102 A 102-yearold grandmother has become the world's oldest primary pupil after going back to school in China. Ma Xiuxian, from Jinan, Shandong province, started work in a cotton mill at the age of 13.

But she always wanted a proper education and has now gone back to school to fulfill her dream.

Alien Attack On Sheep Unexplained sheep attacks in Shropshire have led to claims that aliens are to blame.

Farmers near Shrewsbury have found the animals dead after seemingly being "experimented on".

UFO hunters are linking the mutilations including the removal of sheep brains and eyes - to sightings of mysterious orange lights in the sky. They claim to have witnessed sheep being zapped.

Cheeky Blighters!

A Sentinella fan from Colmenar emailed to tell us that the local kids regulary knock on her door selling livestock - anything from puppies and frogs to cats and dogs - for a little bit of pocket money. This week, however, they had changed their gameplan.

They were selling The Sentinella for 50 cents! BEWARE! THIS MAGAZINE IS NOT FOR SALE! World's Hottest Chilli A chilli grown in Lincolnshire has won the title of the hottest grown anywhere in the world. The new variety is named Infinity for its 'never-ending' burn, which cannot be quelled by even the best antidote, milk.

It put the notorious Bhut Jolokia, which is so hot it's used in mob-control grenades in India, into second place.

Grower Woody Woods, 37, of Fire Foods in Grantham, said: "It’s like eating red-hot coal."

Linea Directa Is my driving licence valid in Spain?

Línea Directa, a market leader in the sale of direct car, motorbike, fleet and home insurance, is only too aware of the problems that their foreign customers residing in Spain face and, in response to their doubts and concerns, they offer them all the information they might need concerning the current regulations in Spain with regard to the validation of driving licences, amongst others.

If the driving licence has been issued in an EU member state or one that belongs to the EEa, it remains valid in Spain as long as the minimum age required for Spanish driving licences is respected, which is 18 years old for driving a vehicle. When the licence expires, if the holder is not a resident in Spain, he or she will have to renew it in his or her country of origin. if the customer is a resident in spain, his or her driving licence is subject to Spanish legislation with regard to validity periods, psychophysical aptitude control and the total number of points on the licence. In addition, when the licence is renewed in Spain, the holder will be automatically registered in the “Registro General de Conductores” and he or she will be assigned the validity period corresponding to age and the type of permit held.

Obligatory and voluntary exchange A resident can voluntarily exchange his or her driving licence in Spain, in which case he or she will be automatically registered in the aforementioned “Registro General de Conductores”. In this case, the foreign driver must also undergo a medical examination.

However, it is not obligatory for the driver to carry the certificate showing that he or she has passed the psychophysical test as part of the vehicle’s documentation. A valid vehicle registration certificate (“permiso de circulación”) fulfilling the aforementioned requirement is sufficient proof of this.

In Spain, there are only three situations in which a foreign resident is obliged to exchange his or her driving licence: When, in accordance with Spanish legislation, the vehicle or the driver is subject to changes, restrictions or limitations.

When the driver has lost points on his or her licence after committing an offence.

When a driving licence must be declared void or detrimental.

Línea Directa offers, via its International Department, all foreign policyholders living in spain the possibility of using all its services in English and german.

For more information consult the Spanish Traffic Department’s webpage (www.dgt.es) or call Línea Directa Aseguradora on 902 123 104

De Cotta Bankruptcy and debt enforcement in the UK & Spain by Rob Westwater - an English Lawyer with De Cotta McKenna y Santafé A number of expats living in Spain leave debts in the UK. Some people will take advice about how this may affect them and whether their creditors can pursue them in Spain. If there has been a declaration of bankruptcy in the UK, the Trustee in bankruptcy will normally be able to make a claim against Spanish property. There are provisions in the Insolvency Act to allow the trustee to seek orders over assets abroad. Unfortunately many people think that a declaration of bankruptcy will mean that their creditors do not pursue them for their debts. However the debts do not “go away” and the bankrupt person is restricted in things such as commencing new businesses and taking up directorships. Another possible course of action in English law is applying for an IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement. This is an arrangement entered into for payments to creditors and is supervised by an Insolvency practitioner. Provided this is successful it can prevent the debtor from losing their home and / or their business.

Specialist advice can be sought from insolvency practitioners.

Whether you have been running a business in the UK, or you have debts with credit card providers and banks, there is a lot of advice and help available. Sometimes independent legal and or accounting advice can help to focus on those debts that can be negotiated, and the worst possible solution is to ignore the letters from creditors. If you have moved to Spain and are concerned about whether creditors can pursue you and seek enforcement of debts against Spanish property, a consultation with a lawyer would be advisable. Very often it is best to seek advice when you arrive in Spain if you are concerned about debts you have left in the UK. With the boot on the other foot, it is also important to know what you can do to recover debts owed to you either by private individuals or by businesses. If you are owed money and you can prove the debt,

then you can seek enforcement of the debt through the courts whether the debtor is in the UK or Spain. Documentary evidence of the debt is important and lawyers normally carry out a property search against the debtor to see how any successful judgement can be enforced. The procedure within the EC is now much more effective and faster in dealing with service of documents and the enforcement of orders from different European countries and in this respect the distance between Spain and the UK is getting shorter. If you wish for more information on this particular topic or you would like to discuss any matter raised therein, contact Rob Westwater or Reyes Gomez Llorente, De Cotta McKenna y Santafe, on 952 527 014.

'Specializing in Legal Property Matters' Andalucia has suffered with a lot of negative press recently regarding the legality of many properties. This stresses the importance of ensuring your property has all the necessary documents, that all of the property is on the Title Deed, that it is inscribed in the Land & Property Registry, and that the details are all correct at Catastro, in Malaga. It is common for people to extend their home, or build a swimming pool and fail to update the Deeds. But if you want peace of mind, or if you are interested in selling your property, this is a necessary part of the procedure. Otherwise purchasers will not commit to buy. We offer a speedy and professional service. We also give cost estimates and time scales.

Alice In Wonderland is a 2010 fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton and starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Michael Sheen and Stephen Fry. It is an extension of Lewis Carroll's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

In the film, Alice is now a more serious, less-spirited, nineteen-year-old young lady. She cleverly manages to dodge a garden-party marriage proposal from the dorky son of a lord and lady. In its place, she chases a pocket watch-clutching rab-

bit before plunging deeper and deeper into Underland.

Although she doesn't realise it, Alice has fallen down this rabbit hole before, thirteen years ago in fact.

She is told that she is the only one who can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon-like creature controlled by the Red Queen who terrorises Underland's residents.

Ultimately, it's the visual landscape that makes Alice's newest adventure so wondrous, as technology has finally been able to catch up with Burton's fertile imagination.

Alice In Wonderland has become the highest grossing film of 2010 and the 28th highest grossing film of all time.

Pass The Butter Please Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings....

DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter? *Both have the same amount of calories. *Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine. *Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. *Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. *Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added! *Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods. *Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine.. *Very High in Trans fatty acids. *Triples risk of coronary heart disease ... *Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) *Increases the risk of cancers up to five times.. *Lowers quality of breast milk. *Decreases immune response. *Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact..... *Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away

from being PLASTIC ... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself: Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area.

Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things: * no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) * it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic.

Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

La Vaqueria

Visitors A little bit of sunshine and everybody has started to come out of hibernation. It seems that winter is finally over and spring is slowly starting to shine through. People are getting out and about again and visitors are starting to arrive. Easter brought us many newcomers and the cheaper flights after the holidays continued to entice many.

At La Vaqueria we have been overwhelmed by the number of visitors, all gratefully received. But, I have to say, none quite as extraordinary as Mark, who came to see us last month all the way from the USA! His journey started in Florida where he lives; an internal flight to New York then across the Atlantic to Madrid where he changed for the last leg down to Malaga and finally a taxi to Benamargosa. He spent three days with us, carving every day with Jorge, before returning. He has vowed to return as soon as possible and everybody who met him is looking forward to that.

As a gift he brought me the most wonderful cookbook entitled ‘Recipes from Marlborough Country; home cooked food traditionally for the open trail’. This has already made a delightful addition to many of our menus at La Vaqueria. The Friday night ladies have enjoyed cornbreads with

their spicy beans and pepper salads and morning coffees may never be the same again without the yummy red devils food cake…Absolutely to die for!

As the weather warmed up we noticed a drop in the number of bookings for curry nights, so please note that the monthly foodie feast is now on the first Saturday of each month and it may well be curry, tex-mex, barbecue or buffet… You decide. The first people to book each month may choose!

With the garden looking lovely you may eat in or out, bring your friends, meet new friends and enjoy a lovely informal evening.

Alternatively, why not call in as part of a day out? Drop in for refreshments, cake and pastries on your way to visit Comares, a must for all newcomers to the area.

Combine it with a mornings shopping at the Tuesday Farmers Market in Trapiche, or call in on your way to Riogordo, where a new Art Gallery has just opened.

Whether you are coming up from the coast or visiting us from neighboring villages and mountains, you will be made to feel most welcome and we promise to do our utmost to make your visit a pleasant one.

See you soon!

RioGorgeous "If you want to meet people, share your passion and give something back to society, this is a great way to do it," said Riogordo GalerĂ­a owner, Ken Church. "People can come and buy original arts and crafts, be inspired, or simply enjoy looking at nice things."

Asked why he opened a gallery so far from the well-beaten tourist routes he replied, "I'm definitely not in it for the money! I spent my working life in the advertising business. Everything was rush, rush, rush.

It took me a while to slow down after I retired and then I decided to try and improve my art. Along the way I became captivated by the ancient art of mosaics. It's a bit like painting with Lego bricks. Anyway, before long I decided to come to Spain. After the compulsory six months of drinking, eating and not knowing or caring what day of the week it was, I decided to get down to some work. I have spare space in my

home so it seemed like a good idea to show some of my work there."

It took Ken longer than he thought to get his gallery up and running and it now includes work by many artists. The range of items on display include modern and traditional artwork, jewellery, glassware, furniture, crafts and mosaic work.

"I feel a little out of time trying to promote arts and crafts," said Ken. "Everything seems to be 'Made in China' and, like the pioneers of the late 19th century arts and crafts movement, I feel that craftsmen and artists of Andalusia should be given a platform to display their skills. A friend came and stayed with me recently and renamed the town 'Riogorgeous'. She's absolutely spot on and I'm very happy to contribute to the village life."

Book Excerpt Sol Searching – A Fun-Filled Tale of a Modern Girl’s Move to the Costa del Sol – tells of Keidi Keating’s quest to make friends, meet the man of her dreams and find a job (starting this wonderful magazine)!

Taken from the chapter entitled Where’s It Bin? My first issue of The Sentinella was coming along nicely. There were 36 pages to fill with text and adverts. My Dad spent one morning wandering around Torre del Mar armed with his camera to take a front cover shot.

“What kind of thing are you after?” he asked.

“Anything” I said. “Just use your imagination, I have no idea.”

My brief was useless, but he returned with a whole load of shots to choose from.

There were statues, palm trees, beach shots, orange trees and many more.

“What are these four at the end here, Dad? They appear to be of some kind of bin?”

“Oh…I was just messing about. Just saw the bin there and thought I’d take some photos of it.” A thought darted into my mind.

“That’s it. That’s the shot I’m going to use for the front cover…the bin.”

My Dad looked at me in bewilderment. All that time he had spent agonising over the best shots and I used the very last photos he had only taken as a joke; the bin! I already had the by-line in my head. ‘Where’s It Bin?’ Colin had passed away eight weeks ago and I knew people were talking about The Sentinel and why they hadn’t seen any copies around. Many still didn’t know the dread-

ful news of his death. The front page photo and headline would intrigue people enough to pick it up. I thought the new title would aid too. The Sentinel was now The Sentinella, a word which nobody would understand the meaning of. I didn’t fully understand it myself. I also thought of a catchy phrase to include on the front page of the first and future issues. I thought about the product, a small magazine. It was small enough to fit into people’s bags; a magazine which would travel around with people and not be left sitting at home on the coffee table. Then it came to me: ‘The little mag that fits in your bag.’ Bingo!

Eventually someone thinks of something new!

Tiffany´s Roast Dinners Last month I went for a Sunday Roast at Tiffanys, in Puente don Manuel. I’d heard some pretty good reports about their dinners, so I thought I’d give them a try. I booked a table a couple of days in advance, as if you do this you get a free drink!

‘My significant other’ and I were told the choices and prices. It was 10.95€ for two courses; either a starter and a main or a main and a dessert. All starters and desserts are homemade so I knew right there and then that I would really enjoy this meal.

I haven’t got a sweet tooth, so I ordered homemade paté from a choice of mushrooms stuffed with Roquefort, or a coronation chicken salad. The wife went for the mushrooms. My paté was superb, very flavorsome and there was plenty of toast to accompany it. The mushrooms were of the flat variety and were sat on a bed of salad, dripping with cheese. “Delightful”, the missus said after devouring the lot!

We had pre-ordered pork and lamb for the

mains. Annie, the owner, explained that she always bought the best joints of meat, no matter what the cost. This was clearly evident as both meats were fantastic.

They were succulent and tender and fell off the fork. With the meat, came roasted and mashed potatoes, three veg including my all-time favourite, ‘swede and carrot’ mash, appropriate sauces and red wine gravy. All this came served on big rectangular plates, presented in a pretty manner.

When every scrap was eaten, the wife couldn’t help but ask what desserts were on offer. There was homemade apple crumble pie, sticky toffee pudding, jam sponge and cherry pie, all served with ice cream or cream. She chose the apple pie and I have to say I’ve never seen her eat so much!

All in all the Tiffany’s Sunday Roast is not the cheapest, nor is it the most expensive, but one thing’s for sure – it’s right up there with the best I’ve tasted since my Mum’s of course!!

Habas – These are broad beans and they go nicely in stir frys and stews.

Helado – No matter how long you’ve lived in Spain for, you’ll know what the word 'helado' means… That’s right, ice cream!

In the long hot summer months, helado becomes a necessary treat for sunny beach days and humid evenings.

Higado – Liver. For me, this is absolutely

vile and I feel sick so much as thinking about it, so it’s probably best that I stop right there.

Higos – We Brits know higos as figs.

There’s something about their appearance which doesn’t appeal, but when I put them in my mouth and begin to chew, suddenly I see why so many Spanish people rave about them!

Hinojo – A funny name… Fennel to us.

Fennel, in case you didn’t know, is a herb usually added to many Italian dishes.

Hortalizas – This is the general term used by the Spanish for vegetables.

Random Jokes A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish.

The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband. Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.

Rats have poor vision. To compensate for this, a red or pink eyed rat will often weave its head side to side to add "motion" to see better. Rats also don't see in colour.

Rats normally prefer to have cage mates.

It is possible to group female or male rats together, although care should be taken when introducing a new rat.

Generally speaking, male rats make better "lap" pets, preferring to sit and have their ears scratched by an attentive human friend. Female rats are very curious, and love to explore and play games. Both gen-

ders make great companions.

Rats can eat chocolate.

Rats are omnivores, and have enough predatory instinct left in them to consider birds, fish and even some smaller rodents as "snacks."

A rat's temperature is regulated though its tail (assuming it has one). A really hot rat will lay on its back so that it can "sweat" through the soles of its feet.

A group of rats is called a mischief.

Rats can't vomit. A rat can, however, gag on something if it eats too quickly. The plus side of this is that rats can usually eat and drink before surgery.

Amazing Animals (continued)

Art Workshop In Coloured Pencils

Red discharge from a rat's nose or eyes is usually porphyrin, not blood. Unlike blood, porphyrin is flourescent under UV light. It is produced in glands behind the rat's eyes. Overproduction of this discharge can be caused by stress or illness.

Ursula Williams, a self-taught Peruvian artist, will be delivering a series of workshops in coloured pencils and their use in the fine arts, in English and Spanish, from 22nd May.

A happy rat will chatter or grind its teeth. Often, chattering teeth results in "vibrating" eyes, caused by the lower jawbone pressing the backs of the eyes. This is a good sign, regardless of how silly it looks.

Rats bathe themselves, usually six times a day or more.

Rats have bellybuttons.

Rats can be trained to do simple tricks.

The workshops will take place in privately owned villas in the Axarquia region, and are aimed at people who are interested in developing their creativity.

Ursula won two awards last year for paintings in coloured pencils at exhibitions organised by the UK Coloured Pencil Society, which can be seen on her website, www.ursulawilliams.webs.com For further info ring 648135126, or email axarquia.al.airelibre@gmail.com

Kids Say The Funniest Things Dont´you just love them!

Melanie asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your knickers. Mine say five to six."

Melanie, aged 5 Steven hugged and kissed his Mum goodnight. "I love you so much, that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

Steven, aged 9 I think beer must be good. My dad says the more beer he drinks the prettier my mum gets.

Tim, aged 7

Danni stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

Danni, aged 8 Tammy was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mum knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"

Tammy, aged 8 Susan was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

Susan, aged 6 I don't like beer very much. Every time Dad drinks it, he burns the sausages on the barbecue and they taste disgusting.'

Random Joke To all of you "old timers" and "soon to be old timers� as well as anyone in the medical profession.... Never jump to conclusions Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly.

One student said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that."

The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome.

He walks slowly and his legs are apart just as we learned in class."

Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him Save up to 50% compared to conventional retaining walls

and one of the students said to him: "We're medical students and couldn't help but notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have.

Could you tell us what it is?"

The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think."

The first student said, "I think its Peltry Syndrome."

The old man said, "You thought....... But you are wrong."

The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome."

The old man said, "You thought....... But you are wrong."

So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?"

The old man said, "I thought it was a Fart........ But I was wrong, too!"

BEM idiomas If you don´t practice your Spanish regularly you can easily forget it. Practice is the key.

BEM idiomas in Velez Malaga is a well established language school. The owner, Viviane, has been running this successful school for 7 years, together with her team of 9. She is waiting to help you become more confident in speaking Spanish. She helps beginners take their first steps towards learning the language too.

I’m no longer a beginner thanks to BEM. I can, if I want, converse and be understood. But sometimes us English are a tad lazy and we should try harder. I’m sure if we really put our minds to it, did our little bit of homework every week, practiced whenever possible and really worked at it, we would flourish and really surprise ourselves.

Give Viviane a call and book a summer course now. She has some great intensive courses with special prices.

After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "darling, 44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white tv, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old girl. Now I have a â‚Ź500,000.00 home, a â‚Ź45,000.00 car, nice big bed and plasma screen TV, but i'm sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-yearold gal, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Divas

Divas Boutique & Emporium

Boutique & Emporium If Divas Boutique was a Bentley it has just moved into seventh gear!

Due to ongoing demand Divas Boutique has expanded and it is now named Divas Boutique & Emporium. The premises (next door to Morenos cafe bar), in Puente don Manuel, occupies a very spacious 250 sqm. Run by local entrepreneurs, Karen Taylor and Dawn Smith, they now offer an even larger selection of superb ladies fashions, including shoes, handbags and even a range of fancy dress attire!

When the opportunity arose for Karen and Dawn to take over the lease of the premises it was too good to pass up.

A plan to create a small department store was hatched and Divas Boutique & Emporium was born! So what, you may ask, is an Emporium? According to the dictionary it is 'a centre of commerce' and this is exactly what you will find when you visit Divas!

A group of likeminded people have come together to offer a selection of services all under one roof. The line-up includes Mario Reid (from the Sunday night 'jammers' at Morenos) who has opened MuSiCa, a fabulous music store selling guitars, keyboards and other musical items. He also offers guitar lessons for wanna-be rockers!

Geoff (another Sunday 'Jammer') and Tina of Spanish Management Property Agency have relocated their office to Divas, where

they also offer HiBond flooring, Virgin Vie Cosmetics and Homewares, along with a very useful selection of Pet Care Products.

Hair dresser to the stars, Georgie South, has opened Il Divos Menswear Department with a selection of summer shirts, shorts, belts, t-shirts, jeans and threequarter length trousers, all at incredible prices.

Divas Boutique & Emporium would also like to welcome PuenTech, a one-stop shop run by a group of local IT experts with over 30 years of combined IT experience.

PuenTech offer a full service, including computer repairs and resolution of software and hardware problems. The team at PuenTech have extensive experience in creating internet solutions for all types of businesses, and they have an impressive portfolio of work. Why not come and see?

In their shop, PuenTech plan to sell a selection of reasonably priced cartridges, computer stationery and peripherals.

Another shop joining the Divas Emporium is Naturally Fabulous, with a range of 100% natural, handmade soaps, skincare & bath products, locally produced by the Andalucia Soap Company using olive oil.

Superbly moisturising, they are enhanced with essential and aromatherapy oils, fresh fruit, flowers and vegetables. Give your body the treatment it deserves without spending the earth, or spoil your friends with a special gift. We will also be stocking a range of chilli sauces and chocolate, handmade in the Alpujarras using organic produce.

Divas do not currently sell Bentleys, but like anything else, they can always find you one!

Book Launch Pen Press are pleased to announce the release of Death and Deceit, the new novella by local author Val Wingrove.

Billed as “A moving story of love and betrayal, intrigue and murder, with the action swapping seamlessly between London and Maro, a small village on the Costa del Sol” - the book will be launched on 27th May at All That Jazz, Playa Burriana, Nerja, where Val will be signing copies between 5pm and 7pm.

Join them for a complimentary glass.

All welcome!

About the book: A young woman discovers she has only a few months left to live.

She decides to leave her home, her art business and her friends to face whatever comes along, and travels to the tranquillity of Maro, a place that is so dear to her heart. At the same time a young man is found dead, murdered in a London hotel room. Investigating the crime, Inspector Tim Walters and Sergeant Nobby Clarke stumble upon a serious fraud; at first it

would seem one has no connection with the other, but as the investigation unravels could artistic and economic worlds have collided with tragic results? Time to book a flight to Malaga to find out more…

About the author: Val Wingrove was born in Ireland and seems to have inherited that Irish tradition for storytelling; this gift was honed by writing and telling stories to her children when they were young. Val now divides her time between her home in Surrey and frequent visits to Spain. She has drawn on her knowledge of the Costa del Sol, particularly Maro, to paint a vivid picture that many readers will instantly recognise. Death and Deceit is her first novel.

Pen Press ISBN: 978-1-907499-04-3 £7.99 large print. Available from Amazon.co.uk and Smiffs in Nerja.

About the event: Join Val, the author for a glass of bubbly to celebrate the publication of her book and ask her to sign your copy.

Having problems?

Has the rain created a need of building new retaining outer walls?

Let us take care of this by offering you this new system, for half the price or more of shattered Concrete Walls.

Even so this system is by far much more resistant than the conventional rock walls that tend to break and fall apart.

We use Solid Concrete Blocks sized 1.50 metres wide x 70 cms high x 70 cms thick. Each one has a weight of approx 2,500 kgs and they are sectioned above each other and with some pointing inwards offering more resistance to the ground.

The finished wall can be painted to match the surroundings.

We can create any size to your requirement. ´Quotes will vary depending on sites and distances´

Mind, Body, Spirit Hello. This month I’d like to introduce some of the basic principles of MindBody health & healing and respond to some of the letters you have sent in.

A key concept is that physical symptoms and behavioural “disorders” are the result of deeper rooted imbalances or conflicts operating at the emotional level, and that these may stem from negative beliefs and thought patterns, which our minds are unconsciously “transmitting” to our bodies.

We are all individuals, so while I can offer general advice as to the causes of health problems, getting to their specific root is a personal issue best addressed with the help of a therapist.

(Q) "I have an itchy red rash on my arm which my doctor says is eczema. She prescribed me a cream, but it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Any ideas what might be causing it, or suggestions for an alternative cure?"

Mrs Fletcher, Nerja (A) Generally speaking, skin rashes stem from suppressed emotional energy “venting” through the skin. Often this comes from deep hurt or anger, which has its origins in childhood or infancy and has been “buried” in the unconscious or cellular memory. Its persistent and irritating presence may have been triggered by a more recent stressful event. This acts as a wake-up call to address the original issue, which may be affecting other areas of your life and relationships as well. A pharmaceutical cream usually contains anti-histamines or cortisone, and even if it does succeed in clearing up the rash, will only force the underlying energy to find another

outlet, and may produce unpleasant side effects. A less aggressive herbal based cream may help reduce the itching, but a lasting cure requires getting to the root of the underlying emotional issue. Going into these cellular memories to heal the root cause is difficult on your own, and it is best undertaken with the help of a skilled therapist. However it is worth the effort and it will bring about improvement not only of the skin condition, but of your general health and happiness as well.

(Q) "I have an eating disorder. Whenever I am alone in my house I raid the cupboards and stuff myself with junky food.

After, I feel very depressed - at times suicidal. This is also affecting my weight, which has ballooned in recent years. I feel like a constant failure and I want these feelings to stop. Can you help?"

Anonymous, Torre del Mar (A) Your compulsive eating of junk foods is an attempt to stave off the strong negative feelings you are suffering from, to fill the seemingly bottomless pit of depression and feelings of failure, and to bring some relief and comfort into your life, albeit fleetingly. Space doesn’t permit me to explain how such chronic emotional states can be healed and transformed, but I will return to this issue in next month’s edition.

Until then, keep the questions coming in, and I will do my best to answer them.

To book a healing session with Richard call him on 676 346 402.

The Word Throne Continuing to look at a writer’s negative beliefs, The Word Queen discusses a fear that we are all up against; the fear of failure…

Today I’m going to explain the fear of failure. This is perhaps the easiest fear to understand, as failure plays such a big role in our society.

It’s a common trait that writers who are afraid that things might go wrong, or not turn out in the perfect way they had hoped, rarely start a project in the first place.

To add fuel to the fire, if they take the negativity a step further and continue imagining scenarios where everything goes wrong, or reminding themselves about times when they feel they failed in the past, things generally become much worse.

Fear is like a poison. It stops you from living the life you are here to live. Instead

turn the tables! Write lists of your achievements, or times in your life when you feel you have shone. If you can include any writing related achievements then even better! Read these lists over and over until the information sinks in and you can begin to feel good about yourself and your writing again.

Feed that new you with a fresh creative writing project and watch your confidence blossom to new heights. Make the decision to have a book published, take action then watch doors open unto miracles.

With Love The Word Queen xx Contact The Word Queen on 610 976 284, email info@thewordqueen.com, or log on to her website, www.thewordqueen.com (see advert below)

$$$ Share´oscope $$$ The hour has come. The clock hand has struck the spot! It's time to look through the Share'oscope to check out Mr Stockmarket's pick of the month.

This month he has chosen European Goldfields. He has purchased 215 of these shares at 465p each.

He told The Sentinella magazine: "The outlook for this company is very promising and if you're looking to take a step into investing in gold shares, this could very well be your answer."

Last month Mr Stockmarket bought 222 Greggs Bakery shares at 450p each.

These are now up to 489p each.

Let's see if his success continues in the June edition...

) : a h a h s e k o J A couple take on an 18 year old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bathroom and she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

'Mondays the best night, when my husband goes out to darts', she said, So the girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday. After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched as the girl got undressed, she was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair and told her husband when he came home. He didn't believe her so she said, 'Next week I'll leave a gap in the curtains so that you can see for yourself'.

The following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked, 'Do you shave?'

'No', replied the girl. 'I've just never grown any hairs down there. Do you have hairs?'

'Oh yes', said the woman and she showed off her great, hairy muff.

When the husband got back in she asked, 'Did you see it?'

'Yes', he said. 'But why the hell did you have to show her yours?'

'Why not?' she said. 'You've seen it all before.'

'I know', he said, 'but the bloody darts team hadn't'!

------------------------------------------------------After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Irish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Irish, in the weeks that followed, an English archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the Sassenach Morning Herald read: "English archaeolo-

gists, finding traces of 130-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 30 years earlier than the Irish".

One week later, the Banffshire Courier in Buckie, Scotland, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Clat, Aberdeenshire, Jock Broon, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger all.

Jock has therefore concluded that 130 years ago, Scotland had already gone wireless."

Just makes you proud to be a Scot!

------------------------------------------------------My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and said......

'Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super.'

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle.

'Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines when I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pittypat us on the ground.'

She calmly turned her head and said, 'In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one.'

To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, 'Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, Bitch'

Excellent News :) In August 2009, Fletcher, a 3 year old little boy from Torrox, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of life threatening brain cancer. His father Noel, made a heart-rending appeal, through various local publications, for funds to enable Fletcher to undergo a costly vital life-saving proton therapy, in Florida USA. At least 130,000€ was needed.

Many folk, and various organisations responded to this appeal, both in Spain and the UK. Members and friends of Torre del Mar Evangelical Church combined with those at Torrox Park Community Church, held various fund-raising events including a bring and buy, coffee morning, cheese & wine evening and an auction. Raising a total of 700€.

We were delighted to hear of Fletcher’s positive progress and eventual return to Torrox, in December. We were kept updated by reading the online diary found at www.friendsoffletcher.com Members of the church-linked Craft Group felt that the last few months had been hard for Fletcher’s big sister, Shannon. It can’t be easy for an 8 year old to deal with all the stress that is placed upon a sibling when a younger member of the family isvery sick and therefore receives all the focus of family. They decided to design and make a quilt especially for her. Girly

On Thursday April 1st the quilt was presented to a delighted Shannon at a Coffee Morning and ‘Bring and Buy’ held at El Trapicho in Torrox Park, the regular meeting place of the Torrox Park Community Church, thanks to the generosity of Joe Livingstone from El Pino Restaurant.

It was a wonderful morning, and we were delighted to meet the whole family, parents Noel and Andrea, Shannon and of course little Fletcher and share their concerns and joys at Fletcher’s progress.

Our thanks to all who brought items for sale including delicious homemade cakes.

We raised 167€ for CUDECA the local hospice charity.

An update from Andrea Falvey: “Fletcher has been at the local Spanish school since January and at the moment he is doing well. He has to have an MRI scan every 2 months and so far he has had 2 since the end of treatment and they have both come back clear. It will be a few months yet we can see if the treatment has been successful as it’s still very early on. Fletcher needs some further treatment to correct some damage from surgery to his eyes and also he will need some physiotherapy to help with his balance problems. At the same time though, he has come on leaps and bounds since we got back from America, his talking and his little personality, he is a pleasure to be around. I’m very proud of how well both my children have coped with what has been the most difficult 8 months of our lives. The support that we have had from friends, family and the people of Torrox has been amazing and we are forever grateful for that. There is a long way to go for us but we are feeling hopeful for the future”.
