4 | OUT AND ABOUT COSTA BLANCA<br />
Dear Reader<br />
Time is just racing along at such a speed<br />
lately that I am wondering<br />
where days, weeks <strong>and</strong><br />
months have gone? It is now <strong>June</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> cannot believe it. However,<br />
it is said that when you are<br />
enjoying life time speeds along at<br />
a quicker pace ha!<br />
2nd <strong>June</strong> to 3rd <strong>June</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />
A two day bank holiday in the<br />
UK to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum<br />
Jubilee. Replaces the Late Spring Bank<br />
Holiday.<br />
Father’s Day 19th <strong>June</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />
Celebration of father’s day in the UK, the<br />
US <strong>and</strong> most of Europe <strong>and</strong> many other parts<br />
of the world. In Spain, Italy <strong>and</strong> Portugal,<br />
Father’s Day is celebrated on March 19,<br />
which is the Feast of St. Joseph who is the<br />
patron saint of fathers. In Spain.<br />
Why is the Sixth Month Called <strong>June</strong>?<br />
The first is that the month is named after<br />
the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of<br />
marriage. The second is that the name comes<br />
from the Latin word iuniores, meaning<br />
“younger ones”. It also may have been<br />
called “sere-month, meaning “dry <strong>and</strong><br />
withered,” though this term may have meant<br />
<strong>June</strong>, July or August.<br />
Wimbledon tennis. The Wimbledon<br />
Championships will be the 135th time the<br />
competition has been held.<br />
It is scheduled to start on Monday 27th<br />
<strong>June</strong> <strong>2022</strong> <strong>and</strong> run until Sunday 10th July<br />
<strong>2022</strong>.<br />
The weather is often a topic of conversation<br />
<strong>and</strong> this is of no exception now as summer is<br />
here. It is the most excellent time of the year<br />
when dining “al fresco” is at its best. The cool<br />
evenings <strong>and</strong> the eagerness, which comes<br />
with the holiday passion of the tourists,<br />
family <strong>and</strong> friends <strong>and</strong> more people arriving,<br />
creates an exciting atmosphere. Spain offers<br />
DEAR READER<br />
so much with its s<strong>and</strong>y beaches, lively<br />
markets, several golf courses <strong>and</strong> great<br />
restaurants.<br />
A fiesta is a party, a celebration,<br />
a thanks giving. To a Spaniard,<br />
it symbolises the town in which<br />
they were born: its Patron Saint;<br />
its culture. Therefore fiestas are<br />
important places, to individuals<br />
<strong>and</strong> to families. There are so many<br />
wonderful fiestas celebrated in the<br />
Costa Blanca that you are bound to see one<br />
whatever time of year,<br />
Rose is the flower of this month. Though<br />
roses are available in many colours from red<br />
to pink to white to yellow, all with their own<br />
special meanings, the underlying message the<br />
flowers convey is that of Love <strong>and</strong> Devoted<br />
Affection.<br />
<strong>June</strong> birthdays claim two birthstones; pearl<br />
<strong>and</strong> Alex<strong>and</strong>rite. Pearls have been wildly<br />
popular in jewellery for centuries because of<br />
their natural beauty. Alex<strong>and</strong>rite gemstones<br />
are extremely rare <strong>and</strong> desirable since they<br />
change colour based on the lighting.<br />
The two zodiac signs associated with the<br />
month of <strong>June</strong> are the Gemini <strong>and</strong> Cancer.<br />
For those born from <strong>June</strong> 1st to <strong>June</strong> 20th,<br />
they are members of the Gemini zodiac sign.<br />
Social, talkative <strong>and</strong> familiar with trends,<br />
<strong>and</strong> is one of the most outgoing zodiac signs.<br />
While these traits of the Gemini sign can<br />
make them a lot to h<strong>and</strong>le, their charisma<br />
<strong>and</strong> intelligence is also refreshing, <strong>and</strong> their<br />
magnetism is irresistible.<br />
Have a great <strong>and</strong> enjoyable “Summer<br />
Time”.<br />
Remember you are never alone with a<br />
copy of <strong>Out</strong> & <strong>About</strong> Costa Blanca magazine.<br />
Keep cool <strong>and</strong> happy. Until next time.<br />
