Lost Dog…..
This dog turned up at our house of Friday, he was hungry and thirsty, and full of ticks and fleas. We have fed him and given him water.,
He is very friendly and used to people, we live in the area of Las Cuevas , so I wondered if anyone knows where he has come from.
I put a photo on Facebook but so far no one has come back to me.
Any help or advise will be great.
Many thanks
Maggie

Rental Needed – Dog Friendly
My husband and I are in our sixties and are looking for a property to rent from October 2016 to April 2017 inclusive.
We would prefer somewhere near to the coast – we love La Herradura –
and a pool is not necessary.
Having said that, we would consider anything that has some outside space
for our two dogs and is not approached by a steep hill with a sheer drop
and no barrier.
Private rental considered.

Further to your search for a caterer – we would recommend Restaurante las Fuentes at Oasis de Capistrano. They have been in existence since 1999 and are extremely experienced in ad-hoc lunches for both local and tour groups. They are more than willing to design a buffet or cooked meal to your budgetary and culinary requirements.
Anglo – Spanish owned Janette would be the person to speak with. Listed on TripAdvisor with a 4.5 star rating. We cannot recommend highly enough. (Please note at this time of year they are closed on Mondays)

Recommendation -Re-register car in Spain
May I recommend Guillermo Gonzalez (Willian to his friends, contact E-mail: gandiacorp@hotmail.com) that took over the job of the ‘Classic registration’ of my 1985 Mercedes Benz after an eighteen month failed delay caused by Gestors!!
William was precise, efficient, communicative, excellent value for money and comes highly recommended. My advice to you is ‘don’t even attempt a DIY registration’ you will get lost in the ‘administrative paper work’ of the registration authorities in Malaga who, do not like anyone !!!
Please feel free to contact me for any further information at: johnnerding at lawyer.com should you wish and seriously think again about a DIY!
Very best best of luck, John
Responses – Re Buddha House
Glad to hear that John and Chrissy share our taste, and sympathise
that they had to make do with sausage and mash!! Know just what you
mean. Next time try going for lunch, just a few customers and
excellent service, then you have the rest of the day and evening to
digest that wonderful food. J & C melbury75 @ gmail.com
Recommendation – Replies to query re Biopark
(1)
We have been going every year for many years now as our
grandchildren love it.
There is ample underground parking, adjacent to the park.
The park is well laid out in clear areas and it is fascinating even
for adults who go every year!
There are a couple of restaurants and cafes on site but of course
Fuengirola has many restaurants and as the park is right in the centre of town, nowhere is too far to go.
There is of course a shop before you can leave.
Photographs are also taken as you enter the park,
which you can view as you leave, the price for the photos is acceptable and make a nice reminder.
Estimate 2-3 hours for your visit and we guarantee you will go again.
Hope you have a good time.
Carol and Patrick

When my grandkids came out, I found the best and cheapest option was to buy the combined train and entrance ticket.

What’s on –Special – during Competa Art Walk
24/3 & 26/3 paper making workshop by Artist Annabel
On Thursday morning 24 March from 11am until 1pm the Artist Annabel Keatley will run the first of two papermaking workshops in the Salon de Actos Competa , as part of The ArtWalk.
Participants will learn the process of making paper by recycling their scraps and left over paper and see how they can completely ‘upgrade’ it to make beautiful sheets of decorative papers. In this workshop they will learn how to add inclusions such as flower petals and leaves, fabrics and images- as well as colour their paper and use embedding, embossing, strengthening and drying techniques.
Materials included.
Please bring along anything you would like to include in your paper.
20 euros per person. Please book in advance; Tel: 699801613 or annabel @ annabelkeatley.com
On Saturday 26 March from 4pm to 6pm Annabel will be leading a plant papermaking workshop. Participants will learn the whole process of cooking and breaking down plant fiber in order to create their own wonderful fibrous plant papers made from Esparto grass. The process is time consuming but can be carried out afterwards at home and with just about any plant fibre. Participants will also be able to add inclusions and emboss their plant papers. Materials included. 25e per person. Please book in advance; Tel: 699801613 or annabel @ annabelkeatley.com
Annabel is a self- taught papermaker living in Salobreña and has been making her own paper for many years. Her workshops are inspiring, fun and informative and are supported by many samples of her work with paper and that of other international papermakers . It is surprising to know that making paper from local plants such as fig , banana and avocado leaves, pampas grass, cactus, spring weeds and left over vegetables is all possible with some basic kitchen equipment.

Your email address must be quoted in this forrmat…I insert spaces within the address so that nasty software can’t steal their address for spam purposes – e,g, my address is correctly janekirkspain@gmail,com
if it were a Contributor’s address I’d insert spaces thus –
janekirkspain @ gmail,com.
So all you do is remove those spaces before contacting a contributor.
