The robin redbreast
It is interesting to note that the population of robin redbreasts in Spain increases with the wintering birds that visit from Northern Europe. Here in Spain this bird is the bringer of good news so when you see one you can be sure it has been sent by a loved one from afar to say hello. Possibly for that same reason they are on Christmas cards and stamps all over Europe.
Our good news is that on Wednesday September 22nd we will renew our weekly conversations. Same place same time

Happy Talk
TOKYO 2020
The Olympic
Games of 2020 are being celebrated from July 23rd until August 8th 2021 due to the
pandemic that has affected our lives worldwide. It is a welcome change to have
news headlines celebrating our glorious youth. Each day the countrymen and women
of big and small nations see that dreams can come true.
A case in point is the Olympic silver medal in taekwondo that seventeen year old Adriana Cerezo is bringing home to Alcalá de Henares, Spain which happens to be the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes.
It is an incredible achievement for such a young girl. The Hankuk International School of Taekwondo San Sebastián De Los Reyes where she trains must be very proud of this remarkable success.
To compete in the Olympic Games is to be among
the world’s elite, an achievement in itself but to win a medal is awesome.
With hard
work, joy and dedication, believing is
seeing.
Children who love this sport will be inspired
to follow her footsteps.
Others will be inspired to follow their dreams.

Nuestras andanzas
Las charlas y los paseos han sido muy bien acogidos.
Las Lecturas Compartidas nos acercaron a la
literatura inglesa, irlandesa, americana y africana y tuvimos la suerte de
estar acompañados por personas de diferentes países que teníamos en común
nuestro amor por la lectura. Esto contribuyó a lograr más socios.


Los Pub Quiz
Aprender
compitiendo y disfrutando en un bar de la localidad con preguntas de
conocimiento general con premios incluidos. Una diversión más.
Salidas
En Madrid tenemos la suerte de tener actores que montan obras en el idioma inglés en distintos teatros y el apoyo y la colaboración de la Embajada Irlandesa que nos informa de distintas iniciativas culturales durante el año. Hemos aprovechado para que nuestros socios tengan conocimiento de estos eventos y de la oferta cultural interesante de nuestra localidad San Sebastián De Los Reyes. Nuestros socios nos han sugerido visitar exhibiciones preciosas y lugares de interés.
Las Subvenciones
Nos
hemos reunido con distintas autoridades locales durante este tiempo y nos han apoyado.
Hemos recibido varias subvenciones, pero hemos comprobado que el dinero no es tan necesario como la buena voluntad de la gente para nuestras iniciativas. No hemos creado puestos de trabajo sino un espacio de ocio. Si fuera trabajo, no habríamos disfrutado tanto. Muchísimas gracias a todos por acompañarnos.

It pays to sing in your own language
And here are the results of The Eurovision Song Contest 2021.
A rock band from Italy came first singing Zitti e buoni
France came second with a a song called Voilà.
Switzerland came third with Tout l'Univers.
The official languages of Switzerland are French, German and Italian and they have a fourth language, Romansh but this beautiful song was sung in French.
The last time Spain did very well in Eurovision was in 1995 when Anabel Conde came second in Ireland singing Ven, ven, vuelve conmigo.
