SNOWBALL ORANGES - One Mallorcan Winter
(Summersdale Publishers)
ISBN 978 1 84953 025 5
“Look! The weather has come from Scotland to welcome you to Mallorca,” beamed Senor Ferrer. To our new neighbour's delight and my dismay, a cold mantle of white was rapidly transforming our newly acquired paradise in the sun into a bizarre winterscape of citrus Christmas trees, cotton wool palms and Snowball Oranges.
Full of life and colour, hilarious and revealing, and set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Mallorca.

“With prose as elegant as this, Snowball Oranges is one travel book that
needs no illustrations. In fact it reads more like a novel, brimming with charming
characters and good humour ... By the time you reach the last page, you feel
as though you are in the Mediterranean ... and you don't want to go home”
