4 | OUT AND ABOUT COSTA BLANCA
Dear Reader
The summer atmosphere is
fantastic and really pleasing to
know that the holiday season
is here and everyone can start
to enjoy this season’s warm
months.
The sun is a fabulous source
of vitamin D, it makes you
feel happy and relaxed but too
much of a good thing really
can be dangerous! So always
wear a hat, put on some sunscreen,
sunglasses and sip that, yes, water! There
are also wristbands you can wear, that
helps keep your body from overheating and
also pillows to cool you whilst sleeping.
Also beware of the “downsides”; yes too
much sun, not enough drinking water and
too much alcohol, all can spoil your day.
Although “al fresco” eating on the lovely
summer days and evenings can be quite
relaxing and enjoyable.
What is special about the month of July is
it was named by a Roman Senate in honour
of the infamous Roman general, Julius
Caesar as July is the month of his birth.
Prior to this time, it was called Quintilis.
July’s birthstone is the ruby, which
symbolises contentment. Its birth flowers
are the Larkspur or the Water Lily.
July is a pretty unique month, being
known for the month in which a grand total
of seven US Presidents have died in – more
than any other month – and also known
for being the midway point of the year.
However, July the 3rd is the year’s midway
point, not July the 1st.
DEAR READER
The two zodiac signs associated with
the month of July are Cancer and Leo.
People born from July 1st to July 22nd
are members of the Cancer zodiac
sign and can be identified by their
emotional and intimate nature.
Cancer is a receptive and highly
sensitive sign, capable of huge
empathy giving oodles of love,
care and reassurance when
required. Leos are affectionate,
warm and cheerful people and can
be counted on to bring sunshine into
other people’s lives. Dignified, playful,
ambitious and loyal, they’re known for
being exceptionally generous.
