CARRY ON CRUISING WITH US KNAPMANS!

Here in the UK the arrival of Spring is turning people’s thoughts towards the looming General Election. We’re told the date will be the 6th of May but no doubt that will be confirmed or denied when it’s good for us to know. It would be over-stating the options before us to call it Hobson’s Choice. For that reason alone, the turnout is likely to be far lower than the viewing figures for the X Factor. What makes that serious rather than simply ironic is that all this proves a loss of faith in democracy itself.

 

Staying in the yesteryear theme of long time ago: and journeying south from Caleta de Fuste on those un-surfaced roadways, with goats exhibiting a total disregard for the infrequent vehicle that crossed their way: you came across a sign on your left at Risco del Passo saying, Villa Christina, but at that time there was no left turn allowed, so you had to turn right swing round until you faced across the road, then drive straight across, a bit inconvenient but it worked. Today with the black-stuff death-way you can pull into the middle of the road and wait: then, if you are still alive, turn left.

This was the theme for the Gibraltar Archdeaconry Synod held recently in Portugal.

The walk is being organised by me, Trevor Mills, at the request of a lady in the village who is celebrating her 70th birthday that weekend and instead of presents she wants to try to raise money for these charities.

She already has adopted three dogs from OKAPI and feeds half a dozen feral cats around the Finca she lives in.

The local Mayor of Antigua Gustavo who was/is a vet has given his approval and help to the walk.

Gambling may be bad for your wealth but if you can smile it can be good for your health.
