RENTAL PROPERTY IN SPAIN
THE
HOUSE IS NOW FOR SALE
We offer to rent a modern link bungalow on Urbanizacion
La Marina, situated 6K inland between Alicante
and Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca. The house
sleeps four. Ths is our "home away from home"
so we have equipped it as such with satellite
TV, washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer.
Urb La Marina is surrounded by the "real
Spain" of agricultural land and rolling hills
leading inland to the mountains of the Alicante
wine country, yet the coastal strip is there for
those who want the bustle of Torrevieja or the
seclusion of La Marina beach. Delightful "Spanish"
towns like Elche, Crevellente, Orihuela, Santa
Pola and Guardamar surround us and Murcia and
Alicante are not too far away. Prices range from
£150 in the winter to £225 in the
summer per week for rental of the property.
We find the bungalow is being rented increasingly
by people who find it an ideal base when looking
for a house of their own.

HOWE'S
HOMILES
This
is where you, dear reader, have to suffer my thoughts
on life:
CARLISLE CITY
MOTTO - "Be Just and Fear Not"
- is my personal motto too.
PASTOR
NIEMOELLER - was a German U-boat commander
in WW1, and after the war turned to the church
and pacifism. During WW2 she spent from
1937-45 in various German concentration camps.
He is probably best remembered for his poem:
First
they came for the Jews
and
I did not speak out -
because
I was not a Jew.
Then
they came for the communists
and
I did not speak out -
because
I was not a communist.
Then
they came for the trade unionists
and
I did not speak out -
because
I was not a trade unionist.
Then
they came for me -
and
there was no one left
to
speak out for me.
And
now on a lighter note from an American post card:
HUGGING
Feels
good -
Dispels
loneliness -
Overcomes
fears -
Builds
self-esteem (Wow! they actually want to hug me)
-
Slows
down ageing, huggers stay younger longer -
Eases
tension -
Fights
insomnia -
Keeps
arm and shoulder muscles in good condition -
Is
ecologically sound, does not upset the environment
-
Is
democratic, anyone is eligible for a hug -
Is
portable -
Affirms
physical well-being -
Is
energy efficient, saves heat -
Makes
impossible days, possible -
Makes
happy days happier -
A
hug makes you feel good all day.
