    Another busy night at LoungeD yesterday, with lots of familiar faces popping in for a drink or two. I have met many new people since working in Masa Squares newest bar; it feels wonderful to be a part of this welcoming community, on Calle Holanda.

    It was a final farewell, from myself and all of us at LoungeD, to Chloe, (Second from left) who is leaving her home in Gran Alacant, after a summer season of work here in Spain. She is traveling to Gran Canaria to begin working as part of her University course in the UK.

    I have personally known Chloe, since moving to GA, nearly two years ago. She is a great friend and I will be sad to see her go. I know I speak for all of us, when I wish her all the luck in the World, for her new endeavours; I can't wait to see her next year, when she once again returns to Gran Alacant!

    As well as saying goodbye to Chloe, we also gave a warm welcome to Paul Stokes daughter Nia, who arrived with her partner Caylee from Canada. It was fantastic to see Nia again; I know Paul and Michele were thrilled to bits!

    Paul and Michele had arranged a surprise visit from two of Nia's friends, who were sat quietly hiding at LoungeD on her arrival. There were lots of emotions  as one would expect. I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all of you, during your stay in Gran Alacant. We will see you very soon!

    Resident artist Richard Clay and wife Pat also joined us last night, for another evening of chat and laughter. These two are great characters and always a pleasure to talk with.

    Richard appeared in this months GA Advertiser, together with an article about a painting, he composed and  gifted to local bar 'Dick Turpin' in Sierra Mar. The painting depicts legendary highwayman Dick Turpin on his horse Black Bess.

    Richard has always enjoyed paining, which helps him to relax and unwind. I was lucky enough to be invited to his home recently, where I also had the privilege of seeing some of his work. Richard has a wonderful talent, always happy to speak about his interest, always a joy to see at LoungeD!

    Today I have included a few reviews from our customers at LoungeD. If you would like to leave any comments or suggestions, you can do so, using our new business, facebook page, or directly to  this blog, (spanishviews.weebly.com;) please use the the contact box at the end of this entry and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

    It was farewell to Paul Stokes (Pauls Hire and Michels Gift Shop) family, as they returned to the UK, after their eventful two week stay in Gran Alacant. It has been a pleasure meeting all of them, as it is, all our customers.

    Finally some good news for me, since working at LoungeD, I have managed to lose some weight, about a stone now, not surprising working seven days a week, another personal goal achieved. Next time you see me, make sure you keep me running about; for the right reasons. of course.

    Muchas Gracias!

    Week Three!

    Familiar faces

    We have just past our third week at LoungeD and everything is going well; much better than any of us could have hoped for. This last week has certainly been the busiest so far; we are delighted with the feedback, response and the reviews you are leaving on our facebook page; can't thank you all enough. Today is Sunday and we are all looking forward to a busy evening in Masa Square, as The Pub, puts on another spectacular show!

    More Familiar Faces!

    Some more Familiar Faces at LoungeD. We had another busy night last night, as customers return night after night, which is heartwarming; we must be doing something right. I am enjoying my time, behind the bar, meeting some wonderful characters, from all over the World. Last night we had guests from Belgium, Germany the United States, UK and of course Spain. I remember writing an article recently, discussing the benefits of living in Gran Alacant, when I came across some interesting statistics: there are over one hundred nationalities living in this community, a lot more than one would expect to find, in similar sized towns across Europe.  If you haven't popped your head around the door and said hi yet, we would love to see you.

    Feel Good Kinda Day!

    Picture
    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!
