More on Warning – Fake Microsoft Warnings

It’s getting more difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff with internet security. One tip I give is…. when you log-in to a site that you have an account with, always input a mistake in the username (or email address) and in the password. The real site will not let you in but a dodgy site will so you can quickly go into reverse and get out. This way they don’t have your username or email address or password!!

Unfortunately if you do this with Apple they may then make you go through the ‘new password route’ which is a pain,

Cheers, Keith,

WalkWhat’s on Farm Walk through Almond Blossom with Organic Afternoon Tea on 31st January    

Join us for organic afternoon tea and a farm walk on Sunday 31st January at Casa Montes Negros near Torre del Mar. The organic farm is nestled into the foothills of the Sierra Tejeda mountains and with 160 almond trees, January is a wonderful month to head into the countryside to enjoy the beautiful blossom.

The tea is served as a buffet and is inspired by local and seasonal produce, much of it produced on the farm. Tuck into a great selection of home baked cakes (including gluten free ) scones and jam, freshly baked bread with cheese, pickles and chutneys, plus tea, coffee and infusions. Everything is freshly prepared on the day using organic ingredients.

The  (optional) walk takes 1 hour and is of medium difficulty, starting with a walk around the farm and then down to the river before heading back up to the house and through the almond grove. For more detailed information about the walk take a look at http://www.casamontesnegros.com/farmvisitwithtea

The meeting point is the carpark at El Bar Cruce, Trapiche at 3.30 p.m. Cost 10 euros per person including the walk.

For those who would prefer not to drive, We offer the option of collecting you from the meeting point and taking you back again for an extra 3 euros.

To reserve your place send an email to casamontesnegro at gmail dot com with your name and mobile number or ring Rachael on 655 987 105
