Synopsis
Here are five magical stories (for 5 to 8 year olds) that will spark your child's imagination. Mia travels to the planet Mirth in her dreams and encounters the gnomes that live there and an array of strange-looking creatures. In the first story, she goes on safari, riding a rhinhorseros that is half horse and half rhino. She discovers the magical forest where toys grow on trees. In the second story, it's Jerome the gnome’s burpday party, which is celebrated on the anniversary of his first burp. The third story is the Mirth games where she runs in a backwards race and wins a gold medal. In the fourth story, Halloween, she rides a broomstick to the witch tree forest, where sweets grow on trees. The last story is the Mirthmas dinner where she has a magic dish. Whatever food she wishes for just appears in the dish. The gnomes have a sprout eating competition with a comical finale

'When it rains, it certainly rains!'
Gran Alacant finally had a taste of winter yesterday. The heavens opened and the rain came down by the bucket load. Earlier in the day LoungeD paid host to the Monte Mar bowls and Social club and their international counterparts. We opened our doors at 9.30am, serving tea and coffee to all those who took park and would like to congratulate our home team for their success.
Luckily the Bowls club missed the worst of the weather, which hit Calle Holanda about 3pm, flooding roads, in a deluge of torrential rain. Trapped at LoungeD, I spent an interesting few hours, talking to cutomers. The people who live in Gran Alacant are friendly, open and always willing to pass the time of day, part of the reason we love living and working in this part of Spain.
The weather is changing as winter fast approaches. Daytime temperatures are still a pleasant 28-30 degrees, but at night there is a distinct chill in the air. I've put on the winter duvet, the cats are getting in bed each night and in a few weeks the electric blanket will be out.
I hope all our customers are enjoying the changing scene; we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Happy travelling!

I had a fantastic day at LoungeD yesterday, not that I haven't on every other day, but this Wednesday I felt on top form. We had some fantastic customers through the door; stories to tell and memories to make. The weather was also on the turn; cooler air was sweeping in along the coast. For the first time in months, we actually had some rain in Gran Alacant and what a welcome break it was; long overdue. As I write this entry today, sat on the sofa, I am not sweating uncontrollably, uncomfortably; It is cooler and much more bearable; a chilly 24 degrees!
