Have you considered Almunecar or La Herradura? I've no regrets about buying a holiday home in the nearby campo, even after 16 years.

How does belonging to a forum widen perspective? I'm curious as to whom or what is an average UK voter?

Get with it Gordon ))

Well done, Cameron, an outright majority to govern. the country has spoken. I dreaded the thought of Ed Balls being in charge of the Nation's finances, he couldn't manage a child's piggy bank. The £ is already stronger internationally.

Richard I pre-load a card then use it as any other type of debit card. Safer than wads of notes.

Needed some €s, just got 1.3323 from Fairfx , no charges. So, the exchange rate is still on the up

I still had choice for 15th April, Ryanair, Malaga East Midlands. I would have thought Liverpool would be equally busy.

Sid, it is an excellent, efficient, easy clean liquidiser. I have a large Kenwood liquidiser, a processor, a wand and a juicer. Nothing I have or had breaks down the food, fruit, veg, nuts, ice etc. as completely or as rapidly as my Nutribullet. The advantage over a juicer is that you benefit from d...

I'm glad you got sorted I mill flax seeds and keep them ready to add to anything. Spinach is a good sub for kale. Happy juicing

Right just found my receipt :- mine is the 600 series, bought from High Street TV Web www.highstreettv.com Included Nutribullet + Natural healing book and natural healing recipe book £85.18 plus vat = £99.99 with the machine you get the motor, blade, separate milling blade (good for seeds, nuts, spi...

mine was £99 on line and included extra recipe book. There is only one genuine Nutribullet that I know of. I've had mine about ten months. excellent, and so easy to clean. Having tried my daughter's I soon gave away my juicer ........... no comparison. It does exactly what it says in the advert .......

The donations were generously given to this man to help him . It was not donated to a committee of people who think they know best what to do with the money. Alan, who lived independently, has already closed the appeal and has said he will take advice. Why do other people think they know best? Like ...

Best wishes

Yes Sid, we made it clear it was a holiday home, but not rented out.

Indoors it can mean too much water.

I insure with Adam Rutter at Secure Solutions in Nerja. The policy is underwritten by Lloyds, Ibex. Very reasonable. covers house, contents, garden and trees. I am in the campo. If you want more details msg me.

Here in Spain, I don't cover it and just run the pump for 15 minutes a day to keep it stirred up a bit. A chlorine tablet or two in a floating dispenser last for weeks and the water is crystal clear. The only problem is the leaves, but I just collect them every so often with a pool net. Sid [/quote...

Hi Mrs.Viking We started with a lump of hillside, partly terraced, overgrown with plenty of stubborn weeds and no garden or flowers........ Now I call it my little oasis ......... flowers, shrubs and colour. We now have 22 varieties of fruit and nut trees and the main crop, avocados, go to the co-op...

Mmmm, I've emptied my pool every winter for fourteen years, no probs. (so far) My neighbour uses the water for his land, he pumps it into his agricultural reserve, so it's put to good use. Cleaning and filling the pool ready for the Summer is a fairly simple task and does not need loads of chemicals...

Perhaps not very helpful, but I have found my Spanish neighbour to be an excellent guide who enjoys sharing his local knowledge. My bible is Lorraine Cavanagh's Mediterranean Garden plants, bought from a local viveros (garden centre) enjoy the challenge and delight.
