Previously published asMañana Mañana, this is the second book in the award-winning pentad of fun-filled Mallorcan travelogues which also includes ‘Snowball Oranges’, ‘Viva Mallorca!’, ‘A Basketful of Snowflakes’ and ‘From Paella to Porridge’. Having battled and succumbed to thetranquilopace of rural Mallorca,where you seldom do today what can be more judiciously put off tillmañana, Peter Kerr and family are now relaxing into asupposedlysimpler way of life, growing oranges on their little valley farm, Ca’s Mayoral. However, even after the trials, tribulations and triumphs of their initiation, Spain has not yet finished with them. Embarrassing subtleties of the language, brushes with the local police, the unfortunate outcome of a drinking session ... there are surprises aplenty to test the resolve, stamina and, perhaps more importantly, the sense of humour of this venturesome émigré family.
