Morning  

Myself and my hubby moved to vera playa last friday. Since arrivibg my hubby has been at gus new job 11 hrs a day as a chef. Therefore im bored and very lonley , being mobility challenged i cannot just go out for a walk, i had hoped to swim in the indoor pool every day. Until we arrived and found the indoor pool on site i0snt even open till end Jan. 

I was wondering if anyone has a local coffee morning? I dont know anyone and do not speak Spanish. If i dont find some think to do soon ill be wanting to go back in no time. 

Best regards 

Carol

Hi,

Just a thought but there are 2 Charity shops at Bourganvillia Roundabout. The ladies there might have some ideas also there is s group called Dames in Spain, Mojacar ( on Facebook )or similar. Check on Google Search.

If you get a free copy of The Almeria Focus Magazine and Directory, also on line, from P 106 or thereabouts are Groups & Activities.

Do hope that helps in some way.

Every Best Wish,

Bob and Sandra

Hi. There is a wonderful pool in Vera town. 25 metres, with a smaller pool where aquaerobics classes happen on a daily basis. The staff are friendly and helpful. 

EVEN BETTER, if you have transport and can get yourself to Turre, about 20 mins away, there is a support group called ENABLE that meets at the room alongside Turre football ground. Enable is for people with mobility and other difficulties. It´s the brainchild of, and is run by, a fully qualified sports therapist and personal trainer, Ray Daniel. Ray has a fantastic reputation throughout the area. At the meetings we do gentle exercises, both physical and mental. It´s a chance to meet up with others who are in a similar position. ENABLE is 100% free to attend. Meetings are every Wednesday from 11.30 - 12.30. Why not come along and give it a try. Sue Lewis

No worries Carole. It will be good to see you when you can make it. And Los G. is very close by to where Enable meets, literally only about 6 mins drive. Maybe your husband could drop you off and pick you up? Anyway hope to see you soon. Sue

Hello,Carol

It’s Pam. Glad to hear you have arrived safely. Do you like  your new home and has your little boy settled in OK.

My place is still unsold, I think I will change my agents this one doesn’t seem to be very proactive.

Keep In touch, maybe when I come out next we could meet up, when it’s warmer

Best wishes

Pam
