ISBN 1 84024 380 5
Autumn has arrived for the Kerrs on their fruit farm on the island of Mallorca ...
The year's third season, 'winter spring', finds Peter, under the sharp eye of his long-suffering wife Ellie, struggling to shake off the relaxed Spanish tranquiloness that he has now mastered all too well. Old friendships have been established, and new ones are found as the Kerrs are introduced to Mallorca's champagne-swilling Filthy-Rich-Set and their eyes are opened by just how the other half live.

a laugh from the most po-faced”

informative historical and geographical facts about the island and its
inhabitants”

an irresistible, irrepressible account of the risks and rewards of starting
over"
