Hello and welcome to the November issue! Did you enjoy the
Feria? Or were you one of the many who actively avoided it? If
you did go I hope you had an amazing time, now we can look
forward to Halloween with all the spooky costumes and
traditional trick or treating! Well traditional now - back in the
day we only heard about it or saw it on the TV in American
shows. It seems to have spread world wide now. The highlight
of autumn for me as a child was making a Guy and then
putting him on the bonfire! Oh and cooking baked potatoes in
the ashes, risking life and limb with sparklers, Catherine
Wheels and rockets! I am probably showing my age a lot now!
And also we always had chestnuts in the winter which are often
seen in Spain, being cooked in a brazier on a street corner.
Lovely. And don’t forget November 1 is All Saints Day and a
public holiday in Spain.
Of course as you well know November 11 is Remembrance Day
but as you can see to the left the Royal British Legion (Nerja
Branch) are holding their event on Sunday November 10. And
of course we have our traditional November poppy cover.
I was glad to hear that Scruffs Dog Show last month went so
well, read all about it on our CAS pages - see page 48. We also
have news from various clubs and associations as many of
them take a break over the summer months. All our regular
articles are here of course, News, Jottings, Smalltalk, Sport,
Health and Books. You can also try your luck at winning meal
vouchers with our Brain Workout on page 50.
We hope you have a good November and don’t worry,
Christmas is coming soon! Enjoy this issue.
