The Queen passed away just a few months after celebrating, what would probably be the most important party of her life: her Platinum Jubilee, that is, her 70 years on the throne, a milestone, in which she ministered the longest reign in British history, making her a fundamental figure for all the countries that make up the Commonwealth.
After almost 71 years on the throne, the death of the Queen Elizabeth came as a surprise to most as, despite her advancing years, she generally enjoyed good health. Not even the Covid-19 pandemic could upset her nobleness. But the years do not forgive even those who seem immortal!
"I declare before you that my whole life, whether long or short, will be devoted to your service," she promised on her twenty-first birthday, in a speech broadcast over the radio from Cape Town, where she was visiting with her parents, still a child princess.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II has plunged the entire United Kingdom into a deep shock.

Elizabeth II, the eternal queen, dies at the age of 96
In both appearances the sovereign appeared smiling, happy, and as elegant as ever.
And that sense of duty, and her devotion to a life of service, was carried throughout her long reign with a full schedule of engagements, from visits to charities and schools, to hosting visiting Heads of State.
It was only 2 days previous that she carried out her final official appointments, seeing the departure of former PM Boris Johnson, followed just a short time later by her invitation to the Leader of the Conservative Party, Liz Truss, to become the 15th Prime Minster of her reign.
The Duke was, in her own words, her "strength" and just a few months after her heartfelt loss, she too has now embarked on her journey to eternity.

Following the news that Europe is once again likely to recommend the enforcement of masks as we prepare for winter, whilst still facing calls to ease the mandate in Spain, the Minister of Health, Carolina Darias, has called for "caution" and has rejected the possibility that the Government will remove the mask requirement for public transport and in other spaces where it is still mandatory, such as health centres, an obligation that the Government confirmed just ten days ago.

climate change and a lack of urban control combine to undermine the beaches of Spain, millions of cubic meters of sand disappear every year, the replacement of which requires a great economic and technical effort, and also a major environmental impact.
“The extraction of sand could result in the destruction of the marine habitat and the disappearance of the entire benthic community of living beings (mainly polychaetes and molluscs) that are a source of food for fish.

Liatris takes very little care, but you may need to stake up the stems, if planted in overly-rich soil, which can cause the plant to grow tall and floppy.
Liatris is usually planted from corms in the Spring, spacing the corms 12-15in apart and 2-4in deep.
As a Liatris plant matures, it typically develops offset corms. Liatris is easy to propagate, by digging up the root corms and separating every few years helping rejuvenate the plants and extend the life of a clump.

They have very good tolerance to drought and dry soil conditions, just about any soil will successfully grow Liatris corms, although quick drainage is essential to prevent rot.
Liatris does not suffer from any serious insect problems; several fungal diseases can occur, including leaf spot, rust, stem rot, powdery mildew, & verticillium wilt.
The best approach is to prevent these diseases by giving the plants good sunlight and air circulation.

Before I got home, luckily the realisation hit me that nobody cared whether I played or not, I’d soon be forgotten about, and I would be the big loser if I ‘stuck to my guns.’ I swallowed my pride and went back playing a couple of days later. Not only did I get so many years of incredible enjoyment for not standing on principle, but eight years later I bought the place! That’s how close it came to that wonderful chapter in my life never happening.
Liatris, also known as Blazing Star or Gayfeather, is a long blooming perennial providing a display from July into late autumn.
I had a snap decision to make. I didn’t know enough to call his bluff and I could see a golden opportunity possibly heading down the Swanee. The bottom line is that I believed the unit was worth that extra grand to me and so I let ‘the ride’ go. I did the deal and we went on to turn the commercial into Spain’s best known pub. Had I stood my ground and held onto my principle, none of this might ever have happened; and I would have ‘cut off my nose to spite my face!’ More often than not, I haven’t been as smart as the above examples would suggest … but I still have my nose!

He insisted I should have checked it all, it was my fault, not his. When I asked him if he spoke and read Spanish he said ‘No, not really.’ I pointed out that this could be a serious handicap when selling Spanish property - I told him that he was at best incompetent, and at worst a crook.
ORIHUELA COSTA EMERGENCY CENTRE
policeman was great - he handled the situation well, saying helpful things like ‘Senor, simpatico’, with his hand on his chest, as if it wasn’t his fault. But the message was loud and clear, albeit in Spanish via a form he filled out.
Back in the UK post-holiday however I soon had some ‘afters’ with that merchant banker of an agent, the tit-head who sold me the house - involving the ‘planning permission’ paperwork he had so generously supplied me with. We had a few blistering phone conversations during which I threatened to sue him - believe me I had every intention of doing so at the time.
Initially everyone got on famously neighbourly-wise it seemed as England met Spain. Godzilla and Manuel were very human apparently, the families even exchanging gifts. But the entente cordial didn’t last. Eventually the English construction of a new raised patio at the back, which butted onto the original Spanish front one, did not go down well next door.
I tried, with limited success to make friends with him, but Spanglishing about the weather was about as far as we ever got. I did get to spend a lot of time at the Town Hall, where I learnt a lot, and quietly finished the patio eventually when no-one was looking - where it remains to this day.
But Mrs Yorkshire, who had initially dearly loved her Spanish casa, was so upset by it all she went into a nursing home to convalesce with her nerves, resolving never again to set foot in Spain. She insisted her husband sell the house, in doing so picking the world’s worst estate agent to sell it for him – cue John... I think I was the first and only buyer to actually see it in over a year.
PS: I got divorced several years later and needed legal help to get my ex off the Spanish books for the house. So I contacted the English notary – named Mr Julian - who I had used to buy the casa several years Ipreviously.phonedhim up and asked if he recalled our meeting on Bedford Station and meeting my wife? ’Ah yes, how is the dear lady?’ he asked politely. When I told him I was seeking a divorce he replied ‘Ah, now - there’s a surprise...’ with wonderful understatement. You can’t buy class, can you?
I tidied up the partially-built patio Bill had started, and we soon returned to the UK after our eventful holiday. I never actually saw Godzilla again, although Manuel, her other half often came for long holidays from Madrid over the next few years.
This results in a high demand for security and public order services in the area, which are not adequately covered by the Guardia Civil from either of their posts in Torrevieja or Torre de la Horadada.Beforethe pandemic, there was a small Guardia Civil office in the Playa Flamenca town hall, where complaints could be lodged, avoiding trips to the Torre de la Horadada barracks.

Yorkshireman won his case. But later, on appeal, this was reversed in favour of Madrid, so all was lost and any original permission was revoked.
Mutual noise became an issue from both sides. Rowdy English grandchildren and loud Spanish TV and music did not mix well and tempers began to fray. Walls and gates were climbed over for aggressive arguing - apparently a no-no with people’s property in Spain. Matters then became so bad that shortly after the English family had gone home after their Spanish holiday, the Yorkshireman received a call from a neighbour in Spain, saying his new patio had been smashed down. He immediately came out to Spain but acrimony Ultimatelyrained.
Godzilla and Manuel were sued in court, someone testified they saw the ageing Spaniard in action with his sledgehammer - and our
Some months later I was working ‘oop in Yorkshire. I knew the previous owner’s name and his address was in a small village just outside Leeds. One morning I knocked at his door, and a short, older man came to the door in his vest (and trousers). I introduced myself and asked him his version of what had really happened in Spain. He told me he and his wife, via MASA, bought and loved the house seven years previously: they had improved it greatly and enjoyed several family holidays for the next few years. They had both retired, and had children and grandchildren who also enjoyed their new house in the Spanish sunshine.

He gave it to me indicating I would have to take to the Town Hall. Godzilla went inside, still giving it up to anyone who would listen, but the grandstand melted away and I went back inside to further more serious Spanish Inquisitions inside, English-style.

The lawyer gently suggested that up to that point, it had not cost me a lot financially, although emotionally was a different story. It could then cost me a great deal more, including major stress and time as well as money. I took his advice, and put it down to experience - or lack of it...

He then threatened me with defamation of character, and as it began to get nasty. I phoned an English lawyer who specialised in such Spanish matters. He advised me that I would need to sue the useless idiot in a Spanish courtwhich could be costly – and very time-consuming and hard work. I might even win, he said, but would I get my costs back?

Another interesting happening on this date in 1944 is when the German troops started to flee from the American forces during the Second World War.

Project to combat BULLYING in Alicante Province schools
11 THREATS TO DOCTORS
Bullying is a serious social problem for which there is currently no specific training or protocols in the province’s schools.
However, the ColaCao Foundation has now committed to making the problem visible by launching Somos Únic@s, an educational project aimed at Primary School students that seeks to educate them about the prevention of bullying, empowering them to grow up without fear of rejection.

How is it that drivers in Spain take what seems great delight in using traffic indicators when travelling on the motorway when it is obvious they are going to change lanes. Why, when it is very necessary, do they find it difficult to use them to show their intention when at a junction or roundabout?
NEWS IN BRIEF
More worrying is, if at any moment in time you could pick up your mobile to make a call and it is dead because the whole of the internet system has collapsed.
we should put the worry of climate change and its implications at the back of our minds and be concerned about what would happen if the bad boys win this game of intrusion into the complication of the cyber brain surrounding us, and the good boys have no answer for their invasion into robbing our banking systems.
The Official College of Physicians of Alicante has said that it has received 11 complaints from collegiate doctors who have been subjected to coercion, aggression,threats or humiliation, between January and August.
This is only 4 less complaints than the number received in the whole of 2021 when 15 complaints were made. However,they say that this situation represents only “the tip of the iceberg as not all the professionals who have been attacked report the incident”. They are now demanding the presence of private security in consultations to avoid such incidents and restraining measures for any aggressors.
The organisation seeks to work on self-esteem, empathy, tolerance and respect, fighting against bullying through various participatory dynamics. The program, whose registration is 100% free is already open, and will be launched during the new academic year 2022-2023.
Are we not seeing something similar with the cyber-attacks or the constant scams being operated daily, different ways of tackling to cheat people out of their hard earned money, or at a different level gathering corporate or government secrets. As soon as one method of deception is curtailed then another is put in place.
