Myself and my sister came to Spain to look after my dad recently when he was gravely ill.
members of breakfast club gave us details for Lynda Ballesteros who had recently attended the club to talk about her services.
Faced with a massive language barrier and bewildering processes we contacted Lynda.
She was absolutely amazing. She was contactable day and night for interpreting services even attending hospital with us when necessary.
She translated for us when the worst happened and he died.
She sorted out the funeral services for us as Dad had not made a ‘plan’ and those in attendance said it was the best organised funeral
they had attended. We cannot thank her enough nor recommend her services enough.
We will be forever in her debt so do not hesitate to use her services if the worst comes to you and your family.
Her WhatsApp contact is 0616 34 88 03
How lovely that you have taken the time to write this at what must be a difficult time for you. So sorry for your loss xxxx
author Thanks x

author: Some of you in Chiclana Chat will know my husband Nigel who had lived here for about 17 years.
Very sadly he passed away on 16th October after a long time suffering with metastasis prostate cancer.
There will be no funeral at his own request just raise a glass and remember him. Thank you.
I didn't know him, but I accompany him in the feeling xxxx
So sorry for your loss xxxx

The Spanish Association for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) and Mercadona have released a statement in which they report
the presence of an ingredient in some Hacendado brand cookies. Both have issued a food alert after noticing the presence of hazelnuts
-not labeled on the product- in the Relieve cookies .
It has been the supermarket chain's own supplier, Cerealto Siro Foods SL, which has reported this ingredient not included in the labeling of
one of the brand's batches. The alert only affects one batch, belonging to the L012256 031000P series and with a best-before date of 06/2023.
For its part, Mercadona is taking measures to try to solve the problem. In addition, people allergic to hazelnuts, who may have the product in their
homes, are recommended not to consume it.
The product had only been distributed in 70 stores . It is already withdrawn from the market, despite the fact that they themselves have explained
that it does not pose any risk to the rest of the population . However, Mercadona will allow the return of the product as long as it corresponds to the lot
and the price paid will be refunded.
Anyone with nut allergy take care not to eat these particularly hazelnuts xxxx

Does anyone have any recommendations for funeral plans? I am looking for a plain and simple cremation
Golden Leaves & Avalon are the major players - Jilly at LHD is an agent and can talk you through it ****
I didn’t have one for my husband and had to transfer the money to hem immediately on death.
It was very traumatic and without friends I wouldn’t have managed. On the other side it was very cheap. ****
author: no one should have to go through a traumatic time like this especially under these circumstances
I’m sorry you had to go through that. And it’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid
Had a plan with Mapfre and when my husband passed in October they even came to the hospital on the day (Sunday)
to complete paperwork. At all times they were efficient and competent. ****

It’s sad that one single Royal will be there to cheer them on and I find it rather insulting.
If England’s men were in the World Cup final I am sure that would be a different matter. Good luck England !
I don't think England have any royals going - just Spain ****

On 17th August the authorities “precintado” ie sealed his lorries so El Pipa the water man is not allowed to use them to deliver water.
I attended a public meeting held today in Zahora to discuss the issue, and to unite to support him and try and persuade the authorities to allow him to continue his work.
Tomorrow there will be a public demonstration held outside the Ayuntamiento de Conil at 11:00h.
There is a petition to sign too.
A WhatsApp group has been created by supporters of El Pipa, primarily for his customers but is now open to anyone to join.
Spanish language but many foreigners in the group.
The object of this group of affected by the precinct of trucks to the Pipa, which supplies water to most of the population of this environment.
It's about seeing, among all those affected, that real possibilities exist for this precinct to be lifted and we can be supplied with water normally.
It is not common sense that in the middle of summer, and with the shortages of drinking water supplies that we suffer, numerous neighbors and businesses are deprived of this basic need.
We had thought of holding a meeting with all the affected people we can to make a decision about it.
Esta reunión se realizará el Día 20 de Agosto en la puerta del Colegio Público de Zahora a las 12:00 h.
We look forward to your attendance.
A greeting
Thankyou for explaining the current situation. This affects many of us living in the Campo de Vejer and Barbate. ****
oh no! I didn’t know about this. ****

Does anyone know if it is allowed to tank water out of your well and take it away with a tanker constantly?
It is in rana verde area. I am afraid this person will drain out all the people’s water.
No, that is not alowed ****
author:
where can I find out more about this?
If he has a license to do so yes. It all depends if he is legal and had the papers to do so! ****
I wonder how many houses around that area have legal wells registered at the town hall?
Those that haven't are taking the water illegally.
He is doing it legally and supplying houses who have no other access to water. ****
Most people probably ķnow who you are talking about, I and many others would not be able to live here without his services.
He is our lifeline as we dont have town water and our well is no good ****
need to be careful with what you’re saying. Of course he is legal if he has his paperwork and paying for the privilege with the councils permission. ****
