CAMERAS OUT FOR SPAIN'S BEAUTIFUL WILD FLOWERS

OUR ANNUAL TRIBUTE TO MR WILDE

PUT YOUR PHOTOS HERE!

MARIBEL'S TRIBUTE 

My favourite walk

Many people love their city and I can understand ithat. But, I love 3,5km of my little town, this place is so small that it hasn´t a name (can you believe it?). I try to go for walks there every day but it is not always possible. When I go towards it, I always think ….and today, what will be the surprise?  New docket leaves? New flowers?  Birds?  Rare clouds? My little walk in the National Park of Guadarrama, I believe, is the most vibrant and exciting place that I can imagine. These days everything is working hard before our hot, dry summer: growing, blossoming… so there are orchids, rosemary, muscaris, thyme and of course, the queen...the rockrose, in Spanish … jaras. All of them are saying, if you think we are beautiful, wait until you see May and the little wild roses!

PERFECT DANDELION CLOCK

'To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty.Then and only then, does it come into existence.'

TALKING GROUPS

For us it has been a pleasure to share one of our activities with  the new association Asociación De Vecinos de Dehesa Vieja on Fridays in el Centro Cívico Pepe Viyuela. 

They have been able to attract neighbours to see the lovely facilities they have there and to partake in interesting discussions in English.

We  are very happy to have had this opportunity to make friends and wish them every success in the future.

ASEDOW  will continue looking for more ways to help everyone use their English in a meaningful way.

Every Wednesday you can find us discussing everything under the sun 💬💭💭💭in sala 1. 1. in  la Universidad Popular, Av Baunatal, San Sebastián De Los Reyes at 18:30h or you can contact us here: asedow@gmail.com

First things first

8th March 2017

7th MARCH See you there, then!

Hello everyone,

Spring is in the air and  the reading group will be meeting once again at the local library but this time you are invited to write a page and read it to us. This is our way of marking St Patrick's Day which is on March 17th. Ireland is a great country for storytellers.

Here are some lines that might inspire you, if , like me, you have no imagination. It is from Everyman by American writer Philip Roth.

''Then he resumed where he had left off, looking through the large sunny window of their boyhood years.'

March 7th 19:15h Biblioteca Central 
Plaza Andrés Caballero. San Sebastián De Los Reyes, ...which is exactly here:

Monumento de los toros

And here is a picture of some shamrock. Notice it has yellow flowers and has three heart shaped leaves so it is similar to clover (trébol) but different.

Who would be crazy enough to take a one way ticket to Mars? Apparently they had no difficulty finding volunteers to leave this planet and go and live and die in Mars. Explore the future of space travel.
