Just when you thought it was again safe to sneeze without covering your face with your elbow, 2009 H1N1 has made a reemergence in cats infected by their human owner. The H1N1 influenza virus, previously known as swine flu, is now termed "North American Influenza" according the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). This labile virus wreaked havoc the health of many humans and a smaller number of animals in 2009-2010.
Recently, two Domestic Short Haired (DSH) cats in Wisconsin were diagnosed with H1N1 after showing clinical signs of respiratory disease (coughing, wheezing, gasping for air, sneezing, pale pink to purple gums, collapsing, lethargy, etc). Both cats were middle aged adults (six and eight years of age) and had been in close contact with their owner, who was reportedly ill from the influenza virus.
The six year old cat declined rapidly and was put to sleep, but the eight year old cat recovered until a relapse of illness led to euthanasia. The presence of the H1N1 virus was confirmed via IDEXX Laboratories' Feline Upper Respiratory Disease (URD) RealPCR Panel in the six year old cat.
The eight year old cat tested negative for H1N1 on a sample taken at the time of euthanasia. Due to the short time the virus is shed in bodily secretions (saliva, nasal discharge, ocular and respiratory tract fluid) and can be detected, there is high likelihood the eight year old cat still may have been infected with and ultimately succumb to the complications secondary to the virus.

Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 1 VOLUNTEER CENTRE WORKPLAN VOLUNTEER CENTRE: WESTERN ISLES OPERATIONAL YEAR: 2010.11 • Introduction This Workplan describes how the Volunteer Centre plans to progress towards realising its Vision for local volunteer development. It has been developed using the LEAP (Learning Evaluation And Planning) Framework. It is based around the Scottish Executive Volunteering Strategy, and relates to the VC National Standards. The Workplan begins by describing the volunteering Local Picture or current baselines from an evidence-base, particularly highlighting what needs to change. The Volunteer Centre's Vision is simply a statement of how things will look when the positive changes have been made. The Vision is used to create a set of desired Outcomes and Indicators that are expected to bring about an improved quality of life through volunteering for people and communities. The Outcomes themselves will be achieved by implementing an Action Plan that identifies specific Outputs – key tasks and targets – that will be the focus of activity for Volunteer Centre staff and volunteers during the operational year. Delivery of the Outputs will be subject to an internal programme of Monitoring to gather evidence of achievement. The achievement of the overarching Workplan Outcomes will be assessed through completing an Evaluation in accordance with the LEAP Framework. Thus the following, when taken together, constitutes the Workplan of the Volunteer Centre. It is a working document that requires regular reviewing and updating throughout the period covered. VISION How it will look when the changes have happened LOCAL PICTURE OUTCOMES How things are now and what Overarching statements of needs to change aims, tied to Indicators Volunteer Centre Planning Cycle EVALUATION OUTPUTS Reviewing Outcome and An Action Plan of key tasks Vision achievement and targets to achieve MONITORING Regular checking to ensure achievement of the outputs Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 2 • Local Picture & Community Engagement – Identifying What Needs to Change [Research and other investigations undertaken to establish baselines of activity and need.] Local Picture Volunteer Centre Western Isles Location and environment The Western Isles are an isolated, peaceful and unspoilt chain of more than 29 islands, off the north west coast of Scotland. (Also known as the Outer Hebrides).The Western Isles is home to a wide variety of interesting species and habitats and beautiful landscapes in a relatively compact area. The environment is recognised internationally as being of global importance. The quality of the natural environment in the Western Isles is unique. A large percentage of land, areas of inland water and marine sites are designated for nature conservation purposes. The Islands are also home to a number of rare species such as the golden eagle, basking shark, whale, dolphin, otter and corncrake. The importance of the environment of the Western Isles extends beyond the land to the seas around the Islands. Not only is the coastal landscape of the Islands unique and beautiful in its variety but also the coast and coastal waters are important for a range of species and habitats. 13 islands of the Western Isles are currently inhabited and are usually grouped into the following 4 main groups, Lewis with the largest population and the main town of stornoway, Harris which is joined to Lewis but is very much considered an island in its own right and incorporates Scalpay. The Uists a chain of islands joined by causeways and Barra and Vatersay the most southerly islands connected to Eriskay and South Uist by an hour's ferry journey. The western isles are connected to mainland Scotland by a number of ferry routes and airlinks. The costs of which are currently discounted through the Air discount scheme and Road equivalent tariff. The cost of fuel is 14% higher than in mainland urban areas (Rural Price Survey). The extent of Fuel Poverty in the Western Isles, based on the 2002 Scottish House Condition Survey is 38% against a revised Scottish average of 17%. Over 72% of the data zones in the Western Isles are within the 10% most deprived zones in Scotland in relation to Geographic Access / Telecommunications. Migration and Achieving a Sustainable Population While in recent years the Outer Hebrides is estimated to have experienced positive net in-migration (more people Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 3 moving to the islands than leaving) it has not been enough to combat the persistent year-on-year negative natural change (more deaths than births). Despite, a higher than average fertility rate (2nd highest in Scotland in 2006), annual births are projected to decline by 50% in the next 20 years as our age structure is currently skewed to older age groups, leaving a significant deficit of young people and young families within our population structure. Our legacy of an ageing population profile has created a momentum so well established, that based on current trends, our population is set to continue to decline and age at a worrying rate. While we cannot modify the natural change patterns already set in place, by reducing out- migration and encouraging complimentary in-migration we can help to ensure our communities, services and workforce are sustainable for the future. Population Projections Using the 2006 population estimate (26,350) as a base and taking into account key assumptions (mortality, fertility and migration); the total population of the Western Isles is projected to fall to 24,892 by 2031. This is a projected decline of 5.5% or 1,458 people between 2006 and 2031. The equivalent figure for Scotland over the same time period is a decline of 5%. Projections suggest an increased proportion of the population will be elderly with a corresponding reduction in younger age groups, as they are based on the continuation of current trends, as figure 5 illustrates. Between 2006 and 2031, the Western Isles is projected to see a large decline in the key age groups of 0-15 years (-25%) and those of working age, 16-64 yrs (-11%). By this date, 33% of the population is expected to be 65 years and over. The Western Isles is projected to see a large percentage decline in annual births between 2006 and 2031 at -38%. Births are set to fall from 250 in 2006/07 to 154 in 2030/31. In Scotland the percentage decline in annual births is 11%. Unemployment* In December 2003 (based on claimant counts) unemployment was 4.1% in the Western Isles. This is compared to 2.7% for the HIE area; 3% for Scotland and 2.4% for the UK as a whole. In the Western Isles the proportion of those unemployed and over 54 years old is double the national average, 10% compared to a Scottish figure of 5%. The proportion of the unemployed that is long-term unemployed is also greater. 40% of those unemployed in the Western Isles at the 2001 Census last worked between 1996-1999 or prior to 1996 compared to a national figure of 33%. Employment* Between 1997 and 2002 there was an 8% decline in the number of people employed in the Western Isles compared to a 10% increase in Scotland. In 2002 approximately 61% of jobs were full-time. Only 2% of the workplaces in the Western Isles employ over 200 people however, they account for 36% of employees. Educational Attainment* Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 4 The proportion of adults with no qualifications in the Western Isles is 13% above the Scottish average. (NHS Scotland - Community Health Profile 2004). In contrast to this the Western Isles has the highest proportion, in Scotland, of school leavers with 3+ SCQF Level 6 or 1 or more SCQF Level 7 qualifications at 43%. The 2001 census indicated that 6% of the working age population were participating in further or higher education compared to the Scottish average of 9%. However the Scottish School Leaver Destination Report for 2002/03 showed that the Western Isles is above the Scottish average for school leavers with positive destinations with 41% entering higher education, 21% entering further education and 11% entering training although the HE/FE entry rates, as a percentage of the Scottish average, have dropped from 175% in 1998/99 to 119% in 2002/03. Life Expectancy* In the Western Isles as a whole, based on 1998/02 figures, 4% fewer 15-year-old boys are likely to survive to 65 compared to elsewhere in Scotland. In South Uist 20% fewer boys and 5% fewer girls will reach the age of 65, compared against national figures. (NHS Scotland - Community Health Profile 2004). (*Research and Statistics taken from Western Isles Community and Learning strategy 2005-8) Volunteering The 2007 Outer Hebrides Community appraisal found: Just over half (55%) of Outer Hebrides residents say they have undertaken work or activities on a voluntary basis in the past 12 months. Around a quarter of residents say they have undertaken voluntary work with a voluntary organisation, charity or community group, while a similar proportion have undertaken voluntary work with a church, religious or faith based group. This is more than double the 25% SNHS 2005 figure for Scotland. However, the need remains to highlight volunteering as a positive force in the community and to encourage participation with both existing and new volunteers. With an ageing population and general out -migration of young people, there is still a need to encourage more involvement among the younger age ranges. Our recent survey shows that up to 75% of the 16 – 25 age groups say they volunteer at some point in the year, with many regularly giving of their time. Asked what would encourage them to undertake work or activities on a voluntary basis in the future, the Community Appraisal found that just under a third say if the work fitted in with their interests and skill and if it fitted in with their other work commitment. Other things that residents say would encourage them are if they had more time and if they could volunteer when they felt like it. However, nearly a third of residents say they are not interested in volunteering. Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 5 Men are more likely than women to say they are not interested in volunteering in the future (33% compared with 25%). Additionally, attitudes to volunteering differ by age. Older residents (aged 65 and over) are most likely to say they are not interested in volunteering. Conversely, younger residents (aged 44 and younger) are more likely to say they would be encouraged to volunteer if the work: fitted in with their other commitments; if they had more time; if it was good fun; if it would help improve their skills; and if they had more confidence. In addition, younger residents (aged under 35) are more likely than all other age groups to say they would be encouraged if they knew more about the opportunities available. Comments on local volunteering : We are pleased with the level of enquiries from young people over the last year. Young people have been well involved in VC special events during the year, particularly in Ness and Harris, where Volunteers Weeks and MADD events took place. MV Awards have been ongoing, though numbers did not increase significantly due to changeover of staff in all offices. In the islands, participants are mainly in the 16 – 19 age group as many leave to go to university at 18/19. This requires focus and encouragement to get them through it in time. We consider it important to get them signed up and onto collecting MV hours quickly. Duke of Edinburgh has been busy in Harris and WAVE under 16 has been taken up by the Youth Council but this has been slow elsewhere. Uist has just signed some WAVE under 16 participants after an initial slow start. Contact with schools had also lapsed during the time of staff changeover, and possibly other factors have come into play, such as new teachers: contact is being re-established with all schools. Harris is the exception, where contact has been maintained throughout. We have made good progress with Student Volunteering, taking up where we left off previous year. We were able at last to give a presentation to lecturers, to good effect; we were subsequently invited back to talk to one class. There has been an excellent response to VC events in the islands: Volunteers Week in Ness and Barra; MADD in Ness and Harris; Womens' Day in Harris; Spring Cleans in Uist: this suggests that these events do help raise the profile of volunteering and to celebrate it. We also had good radio and some TV coverage of some events. This aspect of our work needs to continue. Working on better media coverage is also ongoing as it is a good way of gaining publicity. The VC in Stornoway has promoted volunteering through displays, public visits and organisational meetings. We have interviewed and placed a high number of volunteers while dealing with a huge level of volunteer enquiries. Numbers of higher support needs volunteers are quite small, but several placements have been made in different locations. This will continue to be a need. Knitting continues to be a major focus for many people who might have not done other volunteering; this is very popular throughout the islands. Job Centre work has expanded, partly with the DWP project. Numbers remain small, but we have established a good partnership with the Job Centre. Attempts to encourage Employer Supported Volunteering did not develop as hoped. There was a very small response to the mail shot and press coverage before Volunteers Week. Only 2 employers responded and this did not lead to developing the promotion as planned. However, one organisation was the college, with whom we are developing a stronger relationship, so their interest can be covered in with the student volunteering. Ad hoc requests can be dealt with if and when they arise. Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 6 WAVE Awards were a bit slow to follow on the initial awards ceremony but there are some in line now. This has been well received when discussed on a one to one basis and clearly needs this contact to facilitate the process. It can be quite time consuming: best done when new organisations are setting up. Face to face contact continues to be a vital part of our work as this is what encourages involvement with the VC and events. We are continuing to receive and deal with a high level of organisational enquiries which are registered on Vbay. We have identified a need to run VC award ceremonies so that proper recognition can be given to those achieving our own awards. Volnet meetings were not very successful last year, but this would be a good time to promote WAVE. We could experiment with different timings for the meetings. We used Survey Monkey for the first time, with good results. We got positive and useful feedback from organisations and volunteers, which we will use in the coming year. We have done well this year with case studies and all staff understand the value of gathering this information. We will continue to gather a range of case studies in the coming year. We have continued to develop our partnerships with a range of organisations, and have some very strong links eg with HVS, VABV, Community Education, Job Centre Plus, Lews Castle College and are developing our work with the Health Board.. Some partnerships have not developed fully, eg Sports Development, but we hope to change this in the coming year. We have again this year spend a huge amount of time on legal and strategic matters, including the change to becoming a company limited by guarantee. The creation of the new interface for the Western Isles has been time-consuming and challenging and has on occasion detracted from other work. Despite best efforts, getting volunteering well recognised in the SOA did not come about, nor did we manage to secure a seat on the CPP. We are, however, active in the CLD Strategy Group. Comments on progress towards our vision: We have made a good contribution to the wider community again through our work. We made significant progress with student volunteering and have developed our relationships with schools in Barra and Harris. We have undertaken work that encouraged young volunteers to be involved in their wider community. More young people achieved their MV awards, and a number are working on the WAVE under 16. We are re-establishing relationships with schools across the islands. Media coverage has been good and we have had excellent responses to VC events throughout the islands. We have also had good responses to individuals who might not otherwise be involved with volunteering, including a small number with HSN. We have had a good level of promotional work across the four islands and strive to raise awareness of the potential of volunteering in each area. We tried case studies and dip samples to good effect – found they enthuse others and create positive images. We have interviewed and placed a higher than usual number of volunteers and got more hits on our web site. We are still getting a high level of organisational enquiries. We have also developed some new partnerships and continued to build on existing good relationships. Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 7 We have dealt with challenges to our autonomy and the future interface. The managers have spent a great deal of time on staff matters and developing our board of directors, constantly striving towards the best internal operation for the organisation. What needs to change ? Further raise the profile of Volunteering as a positive activity to young people: • We are continuing to build on our relationships with schools and the college. We have made significant steps forward with the college, and this will be continued as a tool for promotion of student volunteering. We plan to focus on encouraging MV awards to be done in a short time scale in schools across the islands, particularly in Barra. New relationships need to be forged in schools throughout the islands. • We will use specific events as a way of encouraging a range of young people into volunteering, eg school National Spring Clean campaigns in Uist. • Holding our own VC ceremony for awards during Volunteers Week should highlight the MV for 16 – 24 year olds and WAVE under 16 awards. We will continue to promote the MV award to all young people between 16- 24. We will be monitoring the number of enquiries from young people about volunteering and the number of MV awards presented. We will continue to promote the WAVE under 16 award. • We will continue to support the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, particularly in Harris. We will also try and establish contact with more youth groups. • We will actively seek opportunity for intergenerational work with groups, especially in Ness. • We will continue to gather photos of young people volunteering to use as promotional and celebratory material. • Work with 16+ Learning Choices co-ordinator to encourage this target group to volunteer. Maintain and develop work with the media, use projects, campaigns and outreach work to promote volunteering to all: • A large part of our work is about raising the profile of volunteering and trying to get the message across that volunteering is for anyone. To do this we try to make best use of the media throughout the islands and use local papers, Island Eye and the Gazette to help us reach our potential market. We will continue the very successful series of feature articles in the Island Eye which we help to co-ordinate, focusing on a wide range of volunteers. We also need to try and get good radio coverage as this help raise the profile of volunteering. • We wish to further develop a marketing strategy to help us co-ordinate publicity and target potential volunteers, including those harder to reach volunteers and organisations who might not be registered with us. We will develop a leaflet on 'Marketing your Organisation' We plan to have more co- ordinated islands-wide volunteering promotions, using our own high quality materials and will continue to look for opportunity to develop the quality and scope of our promotional activity. • We will continue to develop the use of Volunteers Week and Make a Difference Day as tools for encouraging participation and promoting volunteering, as we have had a number of outstanding events in the islands in the last year. • We plan to hold more VC award ceremonies for MV, WAVE(organisations), WAVE under 16 and others awards such as volunteer of the year. • We have further developed our partnership with Job Centre Plus and will continue to work closely with their advisors and mangers to promote volunteering as a potential route back to work. • We will continue to support and encourage the Loving Hands knitting project, which enthuses so many volunteers across the islands. • We plan to investigate more ways of outreach, including places such as the library in Stornoway, Tarbert and Castlebay, North Lewis Carnival. • We will be monitoring the number of enquiries from individuals about volunteering, number of volunteers recruited for one off events, number of items in the local press and radio. • We plan to increase in the number of opportunities registered with us, particularly sports, HSN and young people friendy, so that we offer a wider range of options to suit different individuals. Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 8 Maintain and enhance our role as the local centre of excellence for good practice and volunteering: • We will continue to promote our Western isles Award for Volunteering Excellence (WAVE) award to encourage improvement on the overall standard of volunteer management within organisations. This has been a very successful tool to date. • Aim to run a number of short training sessions throughout the islands. • We need to commit time to working individually with organisations in the coming year, as our stakeholders have again clearly indicated a need for meetings on a one to one basis. We also need to use resources creatively, maintaining contact via a range of methods such as e mail and phone. We aim to run 3 Volnet meetings in Stornoway and try one in Ness. • We hope to have the resources for an audit of organisations and map any that are currently not registered with us. We will target sports organisations to encourage registration on vbay and hopefully establish relationships. • Work needs to continue on raising our profile throughout the Western Isles allowing more organisations to access our support and advice; to this end, we will run another promotional campaign during the year. We will expect to see an increase in enquiries from organisations over the year and will take another dip sample of volunteer experience to gain feedback on their experience, as this was most helpful in 2009 – 2010. Develop relationships with key community leaders/activists/organisations: • We will further develop good partnership working and keep alert to new possibilities. Continue to work closely with well established partners and build on things eg Youth Council, Youth Action Team, CLD strategy group and Community Capacity Building Action Team etc. maintain contact with agency workers. • We still need a presence at national level in the VCNS partnership. Must consider membership of Voluntary Action Scotland. • Be active voices in the development of the WI Voluntary Sector Interface. Develop staff competencies in evidence collection and research (including Vbay). • Further develop competence for all staff in use of Vbay and practice using reports and other functions. • Collect more photos of volunteers in action. • Gather a wide range of case studies and quotes from customers. • Make even more use of the web site as promotional and information tool. Involve staff more in contribution of articles. Continue to develop organisational planning: • Continue to support staff in their work. • Arrange support groups meetings and other meetings to encourage and involve our board • Keep the website up to date. • Attend national meetings, including Communications Working Group. • Encourage staff participation in team and national meetings. • Develop a formal policy on environment and community impact, including assessing recycling, fair trade, e mail policy and other environmental issues relevant to greening the office. • Develop and implement a marketing strategy for the organisation considering : Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 9 • Include set question on supervision meeting record to prompt discussion about training undertaken and gather feedback. • Encourage uptake of relevant PDP.

For the purposes of this Workplan, however, the Volunteer Centre has created a specific Vision for local volunteering development in this operational year in collaboration with partners and other stakeholders listed above and based on the Local picture analysis. It describes positive changes through volunteering that contribute towards helping local people, organisations and communities improve their quality of life: • "Our vision is of a Western Isles where young people are more aware of volunteering, its value, and how to get involved. A place where the barriers to volunteering are being dismantled and there is a greater awareness of volunteering as a positive force; where organisations are more aware of simple steps they can take to improve volunteering. By ongoing investment in the VC staff, high standards of service are achieved and maintained." Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 11 Outcomes – Desired Changes The Outcomes are derived by considering the Vision and breaking it down into more thematic aspirations. They are based around the four strands contained within the Scottish Volunteering Strategy and on the results of a quality improvement analysis on compliance with the Volunteer Centre Standards. The validity and desirability of the Outcomes has been confirmed through the process of community engagement. It is anticipated that achievement of the Outcomes will ensure that the Vision is realised to a measurable extent. The Outcomes will be evaluated against a set of Indicators of Achievement that are selected to provide evidence of progress towards realisation their when taken together. Outcomes are also matched to some (not all) relevant policy Contexts (such as the Volunteering Strategy for Scotland, the VC National Standards, Social Justice Milestones, etc. as well as any locally operative strategies such as Community Planning and Community Learning and Development).

Volunteer Centre Western Isles Work Plan meeting notes 2010/11 Page 15 • Action Plan – What We Plan to Do The Outcomes describe how the Volunteer Centre desires things to be, but justifying the use of time, skills and resources requires that specific, measurable Outputs (key tasks/targets, or delivered products) be established in an Action Plan. While acknowledging that the focus is on achieving Outcomes, any such aspirations can really only be realised if they are backed up by Outputs that are calculated to bring about the desired results. Thus Outputs are selected thoughtfully, in line with best practice, and endorsed by experience. Targets and/or Timescales are specified to aid monitoring and encourage improvement. Those with Key Roles or lead responsibilities are identified to ensure accountability and to streamline supervision and reporting arrangements. Performance Indicators (both quantitative and qualitative) are created to provide scope for gathering evidence of achievement. (Each Output will require certain Inputs (resources) and Processes (methods of working) to be applied. Inputs include skills, knowledge, energy, time, money, equipment, facilities, etc. Processes include training, network development, research, campaigning, group work, marketing, project planning, etc. These are not listed on the tables since they are repeated in relation to most tasks but they should be accounted for.)

C'est le père de Vicky qui nous a montré l'appartement qui était parfaitement conforme à sa description et vraiment bien situé pour visiter Barcelone. Super accueil, il a même gardé nos valises le dernier jour. Le fait d'avoir une terrasse avec une vue dégagée nous a donné envie de manger sur place deux soirs de notre séjour ! Une fois le soleil couché, on peut passer des heures là haut à discuter... Appartement très calme, étonnant vu sa situation en centre ville sur un grand boulevard, mais la terrasse donne sur l'arrière de l'immeuble. Bon à savoir, il y a de nombreux marchands de fruits et de supérettes en bas de l'immeuble pour faire quelques courses. Nous avons acheté de l'eau en bouteille pour boire en grandes bouteilles de 6L. Magnifique séjour, on y retournera avec plaisir et chez Vicky très certainement.
My friends and I stayed at this location for a few days and it was wonderful. We felt very safe in the location and appreciated the key-only gates to the apt. It is at the top of the building and there is an elevator in case you don't want to get your cardio in for the day or have huge luggage like we did.
Just as the other reviews said, the location was great, a few blocks away from Pl. Espanya/metro stop and other major attractions. There are also many mercado/other stores close by. It was clean and had the most amazing view. We felt very fortunate to have found the listing. Vicky was very kind and responsive all the way through. There was a slight mix-up when we first arrived with timing and we got there way later than initially stated. I did not have a working phone or wifi connection but she was able to catch us regardless and was very gracious about it.
We loved the location and thank you for your hospitality!
The apartment is very beautiful with a nice view of Barcelona near the Placa Espayna. Convenient to the metro stops and a short taxi to La Rambla. Breakfast was not included in the price but had everything in the Kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Apartment is really lovely place where to stay for peaceful nights and enjoy a breakfast on terrace with great view. Well designed, clean, with all necessary stuff for living (even shampoo :)) and great location next to Pl. Espanya.
Vicky is very kind and friendly person. Will definitely choose to go there again in case of visiting Bcn some day again.
A lovely bright airy flat which is spotlessly clean. A balcony where you can catch the last rays of the day's sun and a location which is extremely handy for catching the metro.
Has every amenity and although we only stayed for a weekend it would be perfect for a longer stay.
Vicky very kindly met us with our key at 11.30 in the evening and was charming.
Vicky met us at the apartment and was most helpful in explaining everything to us. She was especially helpful when the wifi connection failed to work, and both Vicky and her father bent over backwards to have it repaired as soon as possible.
The apartment was airy, spacious, clean and comfortable, and situated in a very central position. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
We kregen een prettig welkom, we mochten onze bagage eerder stallen en ook langer laten staan omdat we bij vertrek pas laat het vliegtuig namen. Zeer vriendelijke en accurate bejegening door Vicky. Ook is ze makkelijk bereikbaar per telefoon.
Het appartement was erg prettig, licht en fijn ingericht We hebben gezien het mooie weer veel op het balkon vertoeft met prachtig uitzicht over de stad. Alle winkels bakker, supermarkt zijn in de buurt en er is zelfs aan een boodschappentas gedacht. Ook de aerobus en metro's zijn op loop afstand.
We got a very nice welcome, we were allowed to store our luggage before arrival time and also because of our late departurture allow longer. Very friendly and accurate treatment by Vicky . She is also easily accessible by telephone.
The apartment was very pleasant, light, clean and fine furnished. Because of the beautiful weather, we enjoyed our time on the balcony with a stunning view over the city . All the shops as the bakery, supermarket are nearby, and Vicky even thought of a shopping bag in the house. The aerobus and subways are within walking distance. We would love to come again another time!

Are you wasting hundreds of pounds a year on home insurance that won't pay out when you need it?
If you're paying to have maintenance work done on your property, make sure you get a good deal and the right cover
Being robbed is a nightmare but it's even more devastating if you let the offender into your home. We show you what to watch out for as winter sets in and the risk of burglary increases.
Fitting a smoke alarm is not only a common sense safety tip but it could help to cut the cost of your home insurance.
Most homes usually have several keys covering front doors, back doors, side doors, and windows as well as garages, sheds and outbuildings. Homeowners may think that locking the doors and windows of their property is enough to keep it safe from burglars but is it?
Legal cover on your contents policy is a lifesaver if you've been ripped off by cowboy builders
Failing to include stashed-away possessions on your policy could leave you out of pocket
Confused.com's Chris Torney explains "new-for-old" cover in home contents insurance, and how it may affect you.
The summer holidays are a boom time for break-ins. Our guide shows you how to make sure your home is secure.
Half of us admit forgetting to lock the shed according to M&S Money, and with garden thefts increasing by 60 per cent over the summer we're handing out open invitations to opportunist thieves.

34 year old man | Norfolk, VA, USA | Seeking women 23-32 within 50 miles of Santa Monica, CA
Hello there!
I'm 34, smart, well educated, hard working, responsible, funny, good looking, kind, indestructible, tall, honest, and generous. I have one of the most dangerous, exciting and challenging jobs in the world, which has been a total blast and has filled me with the satisfaction of making the world a better, safer, and more beautiful place. The constant travel has gotten to me and I'm looking to put roots down with a smart, kind, happy lady. I'm also capable of being a total jerk, inconsiderate, rude, and selfish. I'm working on that, though. I know who I am, and am looking for a woman who knows who she is as well. Just like to meet new people and see how it goes! Enough about me, tell me about yourself !!

Santa Monica is my happy place. New Orleans is my heart. Montreal is my daydream. Oslo is my future.

I'm weird with music, but I love hip hop and indie. Right now I'm usually blasting either Lil Wayne, Sleigh Bells, Sigur Ros/Jonsi, or M83.
Oh my gosh, when i'm working it's difficult to find a distraction, but when I'm off I love finding crazy things to do to keep myself active. I'll pick up a skateboard and skate around all day or hit up a museum, park, the beach, anything!!!
I picked up a really old book at a antique store last weekend, it's called "Mountains Are Free" written in 1930. So far I believe it's young adult fiction, but it's fun to read something different.

Lewisham Road railway station
Lewisham Road railway station in London was built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway on the Greenwich Park branch. It opened in 1871. It was very close to the South Eastern Railway's St Johns station. Although the line was intended to rival South Eastern's line through Greenwich it was probably the competition from this which contributed to the low use of the branch, which closed in 1917 during the First World War. The line through the station was reopened in 1929 to a new connecting spur via a flyover to Lewisham.
The station building remains as a salvage shop; the platforms were removed long ago but some structures remain at this level on the 'up' side. To the east of the station beyond the spur to Lewisham most traces of the branch have been removed and extensively built over, but a short stretch of embankment forms part of Brookmill Road Nature Reserve just to the north of the spur.[1]
