FROM PAELLA TO PORRIDGE -
A Farewell to Mallorca and a Scottish Adventure
(Summersdale
Publishers)
ISBN 1 84024 506 9
The Kerr family say goodbye to their orange farm in Mallorca, and put it up for sale after three years of hard work. The Mallorcan experience comes to an end with a farewell fiesta for neighbours and friends, full of comic shenanigans but tinged with sadness. But now begins the return-to-Scotland adventure, and what a cultural shock is in store.
Welcomed back by family, the Kerrs make plans to start a deer farm on a remote hillside, the beginning of a period of challenges and change, of buying and restoring houses in the lovely Scottish countryside. Meanwhile, Peter explores Scotland with fresh eyes, visiting such places as the 'Biarritz of the North' where Robert Louis Stevenson used to holiday, and giving us an insider's view of the world-famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo. There's never a dull moment in the Kerr household.

REVIEWS
"It's all light-hearted stuff, and Peter pokes gentle fun not
only at the locals
but also himself".
Daily Telegraph
"Full of comic shenanigans but tinged with
sadness".
Spain magazine
"A brilliantly observed account of a Scottish family's transition
from a Mallorcan
finca (farm) back to Scotland. The Mallorcan episodes are a joy. Read
this one ...
I recommend the experience. Thoroughly."
The Scots Magazine
"With his vivid descriptions of life on a small but idyllic orange
farm, his books have done for Mallorca what A Year In Provence did for
France. He lovingly contributes to the richness of the island (and)
Kerr's trademark humour is still there."
H! Society Magazine
"Packed with more highs and lows than any of the other books in the series ... we share, once again, the amazing fortitude of all the family."
