At the library

We had cake and port too! Raquel's initiative.
Oscar Wilde is always controversial and the discussion that followed the reading of his best known children's story The Happy Prince brought up some very interesting points of view and interpretations that hadn't occurred to me.
There are fourteen of us signed up so there is still room for a few more if you want to join us.

We'll be reading the first act of The Importance Of Being Earnest next time we meet.
That will be fun!

Coming Up

THE ORIGINAL UNABRIDGED OSCAR WILDE

Very soon, on the 21st February at 19.30h in La Biblioteca Central San Sebastián de los Reyes we will have shared readings of works by Oscar Wilde.
This time we will be reading his most famous children's story The Happy Prince. It is a good choice because it shows another less known side to Wilde who always seems to be portrayed as outrageous and frivolous. He had a social conscience too and these stories really pull at your heartstrings.
Anyone interested in joining us and learning more about this wonderful writer should contact us at

A Walk In The Snow

Snow underfoot, blue sky overhead, well wrapped up we set off through the quite deep snow to reach the fountain where we had lunch and a nice break before heading back to the lovely town of Cercedilla for coffee and beer.

On the way Vicente spotted a little mouse, a dormouse, as friendly as could be. It came close enough to be fed some bread as you will see from the photo. There was a good group of us chattering in English and occasionally in Spanish.

Bravo to Eduardo for getting us all together...people from ASEDOW, Candás and E.O.I. San Sebastián de los Reyes.
Well worth it as the company was good and the walk was beautiful.

You really don't want to miss the next one!
