Conversation Exchange
Hi, I’ve been studying Spanish and have reached intermediate level, so am now looking for someone, preferably a native Spaniard, with whom I can practise Spanish conversation. Ideally an hour or more each week to suit and I’m happy to meet in person or Skype or FaceTime. I can offer the same amount of time helping with English conversation.
Please email me on: lindahwlc @ gmail. com

Recommendation Cattery
I can recommend Campo Cats as the best cat hotel I have found east of Malaga. Apart from the care the cats are given, and the nice “rooms” they have, an added bonus is that it is not a boarding kennels for dogs as well. My cat isn’t used to dogs and in the past she has been frightened when she heard dogs in neighbouring kennels.
There are photos on the website:campo.com
Linda (not the Linda who owns Campo Cats)
Recommendation- A bouquet to:Torrox Viveros
Vivero Garden Centre, Torrox Costa. (Next to Lidl).
I recently bought some plants containers etc from there, very reasonably priced. Antonio was very helpful, and knowledgeable. He also speaks very good English. They deliver, (he carried everything up to my top terrace). Antonio even put up the wires for a vine to trail over.
Their phone number is 952 968 175

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.
