Animal aid and the lemon tree

We picked up our good friend Lil this morning and had a trip to the Animal Aid charity sale at Churchills bar in San Luis, had a good browse and found some more new reading matter and some handy bits and pieces, among which were 2 unusual flute shaped champagne glasses with no stem and with MM etched on them, then we headed up to the Lemon Tree Market, this market is always very busy now but we arrived just after 10:00 so the masses had not arrived, we got tempted to a full English breakfast again,always good value for €3.50 including coffee and it was very pleasant sitting in the warm sunshine, then purchased one or two bargains like 2 litres of Brandy €7.30, 12 pairs of socks €3.
The fruit and vegetables are good as well, 4 lettuces €1, three cabbages €1, cauli and broccoli, 2 heads for €1, there was not much variety of local fruit this week probably because of the holidays, but we have been getting grapes at 0.80 cents a kilo.

A social weekend

CYCLISTS ALONG THE RIO SEGURA
THE ANIMAL AID AND RESCUE VEHICLE


Yesterday lunchtime saw the Supervalue supermarket paella party near the Campo de Golf in Quesada, It was a a very tasty paella complete with snails (not to some peoples taste) beer and soft drinks provided. In the evening San Fulgencio town hall threw a party at Calle Del Bosque recreation area, to launch their provision of the animal aid and protection vehicle for the area this is a converted ambulance which will be manned by volunteers to rescue distressed and stray animals,(volunteers required) there was a buffet supper and beer, wine and soft drinks flowed, at the same time young trees were planted by children.
Today was The day of the Bicycle for Rojales, around 160 cyclists of all ages took an escorted bike ride along the Rio Segura to Guardamar and back through Quesada, at the finish in Rojales there were refreshments and prizes to lucky ticket holders. Although it was very hot, the ride of around 15 kilometres was taken at a very leisurely pace, so there were no casualties.

Lil has a haircut

Yesterday Lil, had all her hair cut off as a sponsored event for Animal Aid, with a lot of sponsors she raised well over €400 for a great cause, A hat is order of the day now, not because she does not like the style, but because she doesnt want sunstroke.
