LIVE! ANSWERS FROM THE MAYOR – 12

Q. Is it true that you and other members of the Council attended parties at ‘La Morisca’ before the ‘Malaya’ case hit the headlines? Didn’t you see how enormous that Cortijo was, or that it was built illegally? Careful with your answer, as there are witnesses and photographs… Anonymous
A. Another ill-intentioned rumour. I have never, ever – and you will understand that I have a lot of experience behind me – why don’t you publish them? Or is it that things didn’t turn out the way you wanted? Let’s give Pascual Collado a chance; it’s new times, so let’s get out of this no-exit alleyway in which some people have driven everyone.

THOUGHT FOR A LOVELY SPRING DAY
“One should learn to enjoy the neighbour’s garden, however small; the roses straggling over the fence, the scent of lilacs drifting across the road” Henry van Dyke
As we look around us this very moment, what good things do we find? Has a friend given a warm hello? Is th sun shining? The rain falling? Has that plant finally flowered? Has a child offered us the beauty of its smile? We have no claim on these generous events, but we can say that there are always generous forces coming our way which comfort and heal us. We only need to take time to enjoy them.
Today, why don’t I take some quiet moments to notice the good things in my life, and be grateful for them?
