General Chat

Mary - do you get the Costa Blanca News ? I don´t - but normally read it on line - just had a glance at this week´s issue and there is a letter from someone who is trying to set up a genealogy group in the Calpe/Denia/Javea/Pego/Oliva area. Thought I might contact her and see what her ideas are. I am a member of Javea Computer Club and we have a genealogy group there - we meet up once a month (last Tuesday morning of each month) for a chat and get together.

Elaine Yes I do get CBN - will go and have a look. Rather a large area from Calpe to Oliva - I do not drive - only people up the wall - and hubby works so I am rather stuck. Off to read the CBN. Mary

Mary - have emailed her to see what she had in mind - will let you know what she says.

Elaine Thanks just read letter on line - saved me tramping down stairs - I look forward to hearing from you. Should say sorry to Lindy for hijacking her thread - sorry. Mary in Spain

Hiya Ross, Great to hear from you! Hope you and Bob have settled in nicely. Just as a matter of interest Vitor told me to tell you that the drink Catembe has it's origins from a small village in Mozambique called Catembe. You must be in touch with South Africans in Madeira. As a young boy he used to catch the ferry boat to Catembe where they would go swimming. Coincidentally, he was also drinking Catembes last night as it is refreshing in this heat. Try a 'Penalty' (white wine and 7up) also very refreshing. Chat to you again! Lindy ;-)) Mary, No Problem! ;-)))))

Hi Elaine and Mary :)) A CB meet sounds good but I will be a long way from the genealogy group. We are going to be north of Alicante, near Castella. I drive but will need to get used to the roads and driving on the right before I attempt such a long journey :( Linda

Awww Lindy you have depressed me even more! We got back from a 2 week holiday in Gale yesterday, we are very depressed and keep saying things like 'this time last week etc'. Lots of love from a very enviable Jules in a cold, wet, miserable Southsea! XX

Jules, Sorry to hear that your weather is so depressing. Not that this is any consolation, 'the grass always looks greener on the other side' but having a holiday over here and living here is not the same thing. Stick with your holidays as you will always have great memories... Living here, at times, is a nightmare. ((( Hugs ))) Lindy ;-)))

Lindy, make sure you keep some of that warm weather for us coming end of Oct, hear if you have an extra hot Sept there, it cools off rapidly end of August.

Valice, Am a little bit confused as we are already in September. Never know it to be so hot in September before, but then we have never had a raging storm in August before. Normally, the transition from summer to autumn seems to happen over night, at the end of September. Not so sure about this year! Hope you have good weather when you arrive. Lindy ;-))

thanks Lindy. the Worlds weather has gone haywire, no one knows what to expect anymore!! Val
