With no more ado, let’s get straight on to Tapas may be known as the food for sharing, but you should creamy salve of the frothy top. our tasting of some of the new plates for 2016. most certainly keep this one to yourself. Coffee cocktails will be a love or hate option for most readers Rosemary chicken in a creamy parmesan and garlic and again we had a divided table, but that brings us to the sauce (bottom left) ying to my aficionado yang ….. Really pleased that this dish was on our order of service. It is not the type of dish I would be likely to order if choosing myself—but something of a revelation. Moist chicken in a thick creamy cheesy, garlic sauce with the Rosemary elevat- ing it to something that bit more sophisticated. It earned the descriptor ‘heavenly’ from my co-taster who correctly point- ed out it would be a great dish for children. One that could be eaten all day, but both fortunately and unfortunately we must move on.

Quinoa Salad The only thing healthier than this in vogue salad favourite of many a celeb A-lister, is the portion size—which pushes the Flower Power term tapas to its limit. But we won’t complain at that. Served Gin, cucumber, rose syrup, elderflower syrup and lemon juice, with chick peas, rocket, black beans, courgette ribbons and described perfectly by my opposite number as ‘like you are sweet peppers all doused in a citrus dressing, the quinoa drinking India, unique and absolutely amazing’. plate is light, fresh and guilt free.

Pulled jackfruit and courgette noodles Indonesian shredded jackfruit served with courgette noodles with a soy, orange, chilli and parsley dressing. For us it was a first experience with Jackfruit and so for the uninitiated here is a bit of background. Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world — one fruit can weigh between 10 and 100 pounds and con- tain hundreds of seeds that are rich in protein, potassium, calcium, and iron. It is native to South East Asia, and is hailed by some as the new miracle crop that could save the world from starvation. Wow, quite some crop then, but what does it taste like? To be honest I still cannot make my mind up. I have seen de- scriptions likening it to pulled pork. I get that in terms of texture, but I didn’t get a taste of pork at all. We were a divid- ed table, one loved it, and one still didn’t know whether he liked it or not after eating the dish. That is one of the great things about the Tapas approach to dining—everybody finds their favourites.

Seared scallops pan fried on a bed of wilted spinach with a sweet chilli, lime and coriander dressing Oh my days. Forget tripadvisor, these melting morsels of heavenly seafood have gone straight to my personal number

Marinated chicken skewers with sriracha mayon- naise Skewered chicken with a Cajun and smoked paprika rub. The mayonnaise is spicy; the chicken is moist and juicy with an afterheat and lingering taste that suited us perfectly— though we might recommend it as the last plate on your menu selection to avoid overpowering some of the more subtle delicacies on offer.

(Continued from page 1) Europe. With Spain already having made overtures as to the potential outcome of a Brexit vote to its many thousand British immi- grants, we will be facing a period of uncertainty, a limbo land where planning a long term future becomes very difficult. Of greatest concern will be issues such as education, healthcare services and employment rights. Andy Cox expressed the concerns of many in saying “Honestly not sure what to say. I've made my life in the Eu whilst being proud to be British, and now what do I do? Knowing what Spain (especially Ibiza) is like they will stop processing legal documents of UK citizens (frankly they have been waiting for any excuse)and life will become increasingly difficult here (not that it's easy already). Honestly worried for mine and Katie's future. But hey never mind, I'm sure with the UKs unlimited natural resources it can cope with all its expats returning on the dole because frankly they is no work for a whole load of middle aged bar men!”. Though these areas will take several years to clarify, an im- mediate effect is likely to be felt by the tourist industry upon which a large proportion of the British community in Ibiza rely. Holidays to Ibiza, and everywhere come to that, just got considerably more expensive for Brits. It is likely less will come, and those that do will have less to spend. At time of market has struggled out of recession. mother country. Some were angry with the outcome.

The UK is just starting again on a new economic and democratic pathway forwards. Change brings opportunity to those who seek it. Fortunes are being made and lost as we speak on the stock market and currency trading. Everything recovers economi- cally. Extraordinary day. Keep positive and push onto greater days ahead. New dawn -New Day.” Martin Makepeace pointed out the importance of the demo- cratic process. “It's a BREXIT and the result should be re- spected & accepted. There may be rocky times ahead but the UK is strong & will bounce back from any uncertainty. Ulti- mately it was immigration and the economy that were the deciding factors and the UK government needs to under- stand and react to this clear message. Well done to everyone who voted. Democracy is the winner.” Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, made a statement that if mir- rored with similar in Spain, would go a good way to easing the concerns of British immigrants here. “I want to send a clear message to every European resident living in London - you are very welcome here. As a city, we are grateful for the enormous contribution you make, and that will not change as a result of this referendum. There are nearly one million European citizens living in Lon- don today, and they bring huge benefits to our city - working hard, paying taxes, working in our public services and contrib- uting to our civic and cultural life. We all have a responsibility to now seek to heal the divisions that have emerged through- out this campaign - and to focus on what unites us, rather than that which divides us.” Whether we will see any such assurances from the Spanish Government is unknown, however it is fair to say their own state of limbo land and forthcoming elections are likely to play a large part in how the political parties position them- selves as to our future fate.

sleep diaries for six months. The group included 394 good sleepers, 36 good sleepers who have developed short-term insomnia but recovered and 31 who had long-term chronic insomnia. The study showed that the good sleepers didn’t change the amount of time they spent in bed, whilst those who had previously developed short-term insomnia spent less time in bed. Yet those who developed chronic insomnia spent an in- creased amount of time tucked up as their sleep deprival soared. Those with insomnia typically extend their sleep opportuni- ty.
