Dear Readers,

The Gazette has got a scoop this month.  Rod Stewart is performing live in Almeria (his only live performance in Spain in 2008).  Tickets are available from www.ticktackticket.com and elcorteingles.es.  Hotel packages and other info available from the package hotline number - 636 627 454 and bus packages to and from Almeria are available from CoachTrips on 966 785 910. Remember to book soon as tickets are being snapped up quickly!!!

I had a bad back recently and it was really giving me some gyp.  When I went to deliver the magazine last month to Brit Bits in Mula, there was a lady in there called Jennifer O’Neill who said that she was a healer and offered to have a look at it for me.  I was neither a sceptic nor a believer - to be honest, I had never really thought about healing before so, with nothing to lose, I let Jennifer do her magic.  I could feel heat coming off my back and neck (even though healing does not involve actual touching).  How fabulous when the pain just vanished!!  I would highly recommend it to anyone.
