A husband and wife team from Torrox are running in this year’s London Marathon.

Amanda and Phil Stockton have been busy training in order to raise as much money as possible for children’s charity, Barnados.
It all began when Amanda hit 40 and felt that apart from her career and family she had not achieved much. After watching last years race on TV she decided to enter for 2010.

Phil, who has ran seven marathons in the past, felt he had one more left in him.

Training for the London Marathon has continued throughout the winter. Undeterred by the bad weather they are now nearing the end, with only a few weeks remaining.

Amanda would like to thank all of her chiropodist patients for their support and donations.

The pair are now organising a charity music gig at El Ancla, Torrox Costa, on 17th April at 8pm. Local band Not to Fall are playing and there is a free buffet. Please make a donation on the door. There will also be a great raffle with prizes donated by local businesses including golf lessons, one night at a b&b and a sailing experience.

If anyone wants to donate a service or gift voucher for the raffle, contact Amanda on 636 866 715.

Have you experienced the Light of India? If not then you don’t know what you’re missing!

Did you know that you can eat as much as you like (off the menu) for the same price as the cost of just two courses at a regular Indian restaurant? Yes, really! For just 12.95 euros you simply order as many starters, mains and desserts as you think you can eat, then tuck in to your heart’s content. Now that’s service for you!

I love this set up as it means I can try new dishes which I haven’t dared to order before. For example, recently I let down my hair and ordered fish tikka cooked in anis, which is a real step outside my comfort zone. Ordering fish in an Indian restaurant is not a usual move for me – I prefer a safe chicken korma, or lamb tikka. But boy am I glad I made the move. It was so tender and succulent and my taste-buds thanked me for days.

Indian desserts are another fuzzy point for me. I tried the Indian version of ice cream once, but it didn’t appeal and I hadn’t bothered looking at the dessert menu since. But as dessert is in with the price at the Light of India I thought I may as well give it another whirl. The waitress recommended a little ball of sticky sweetness (the name escapes me) and it’s delish. You must try it. Just ask for ‘the ball’ and if they look at you weirdly then blame The Sentinella girl!
