Hello
If anyone is interested I am organising a Writers’ Weekend in a beautiful French Chateau at the end of September 2012. Maybe you would like to take time out to hear some experienced writers and journalists speak about writing. Their words of advice and encouragement may be just what you are looking for. Get in touch with me for further details.

Comment on Staying healthy in an increasingly toxic world by michelle

michelle — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:40:58 +0000

Thanks Debra!I don’t know whether you or anyone would be interested in getting a group together for either a seminar or informal talk on the topic of health? I would also like to give a short course on” homeopathy for the family” looking at health issues from a different perspective that focuses on a pro-active approach rather than a reactive one,and that aims to strengthen the immune system. How do we protect ourselves and our children from the onslaught of chemicals, radiation,side- effects of medical treatment.. ? What can we do to make sure that the younger generation doesn’t end up sicker than the parents? These are issues that interest me and if this resonates with anybody else perhaps we can organise something.
Love
Michelle

Thanks for your comments, Michelle. This is really interesting especially to me, who has been through chemo and radiotherapy. I know you are an English speaking homeopath so that’s useful for all our members to be aware of should they need further advice. Love & Light, Debra

Thanks! Helge for putting the address. You know the area well. Some people have asked about parking. I know there is parking in C/Eugenia and in Placa Betrana very near the cafe. This venue is nearer for most of us, I think and makes life a little easier. Look forward to seeing you! Debra

Comment on U3A membership and Girona by gironasue

Comment on Catalan Classes every Wednesday by gironasue

Note from Debra:
Don’t worry what level you are. I am a complete ‘dumb-dumb’ when it comes to learning new languages and find the process very challenging. This is not a course, there are no exams and is really good value. The lessons are structured so that you can join at anytime. We are going extremely slowly and revising back all the time- so don’t be scared or shy, come along & see that it really is fun as well. We have a superb, English-speaking teacher who is just about one of the best I’ve ever known (believe me, I speak from experience!) and also it’s a lovely, supportive little group who all help each other as well. You can do it – Places are limited so don’t miss out (there are only so many I can fit around my dining table!). We look forward to seeing you ! Debs

Comment on Reduced fares for over 60s on Trains by gironasue

gironasue — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 09:18:00 +0000

NO AL LA 'MAT'!
NO AL TGV SOTA GIRONA!
Ross Hill has had a letter published in Catalonia Today (26.01.06).
It should read
'Gravy train Stops Under Girona?!'
North European tax payers are being ripped off for over ONE BILLION EUROS, in order to put THREE rail tunnels up to 5 kilometres under the centre of Girona. Have they forgotten the 'Carmel Disaster' in BCN!?
Why not just ONE TENTH of the cost, with SURFACE tracks alongside the AP7? Maybe someone should 'blow the whistle'in Brussels?!

Comment on Re-birth of the blog! by stevenmac

stevenmac — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 22:23:00 +0000

Sue, Helge and everyone,

I would urge you to create a new post when introducing new content (e.g. exhibition, idea for website/newsletter content).

That way, the new stuff will be more visible for the rest of the members and will allow a more structured order, rather than having one long thread and comments where its difficult to keep track of the many ideas.

cheers

steven

Helge’s ideas (about advice and help as well as sharing experiences) – maybe need a regular newsletter spot?Maybe in the form of Question and Answer session.
eg How do you rent a flat in Girona?
Well our experience was very fortunate. We used an agency that was very good Vivenda i Confort near the station. We both rented a flat through them and also bought a property and later a parking space without a problem. They do a very full service even to helping with the electric and water connections.
Look forward to others asking and answering questions on this blog.

Dear Helge
Good idea about advice for newcomers. Could be a regular spot in the newsletter. What about it Paul and Lesley?
