It?s crunch time for the Kerr family on their run-down little orange farm in Mallorca. After their first eventful year on the Spanish island, the honeymoon period is over for Peter, Ellie and their two sons, Sandy and Charlie. Will all the work they?ve invested in restoring their finca provide them with a decent living? Will Sandy go back to Scotland, and will young Charlie be seduced by Mallorca?s super-rich set? Amid the spring ?snowfall? of Mallorcan almond blossom, they are helped, as ever, by an eccentric collection of friends and neighbours, none more colourful than Jock Burns, whose Hispano-Scots fiesta turns out to be a highlight of the Mallorcan social calendar.

A dilapidated, rat-infested stone barn set amidst thirteen acres of overgrown woodland and unkempt pasture might not be many people?s vision of a potential dream home. But for English couple Richard and his wife Al, the cavernous, oak-beamed building in a sleepy hamlet of the Limousin region of France is perfect. Tussles with French bureaucracy allied with fierce storms that wreak havoc on the property do little to dampen resolve as they immerse themselves in the calm of this quiet corner of France, taking trips in Richard?s balloon and starting their very own llama farm. Their colourful, often eccentric neighbours are always ready to lend a hand: the jovial ex-Gendarme and his wife, who is able to foretell the weather; a lonely widow who offers copious amounts of gateaux in exchange for convivial chat; and a brawny cattleman with suspicious motives in offering to clean up the couple?s land. This often hilarious and heartwarming tale is one of obstacles overcome and dreams fulfilled.

In Brazil the motto seems to be: if you?ve got it, flaunt it, and if you don?t, flaunt it even more?? Brazil: an eclectic nation that evokes images of vibrant carnivals, crowded shanty towns and football on the beach. Shaped by its many cultures, the Portuguese, African, Native Indian and European communities have ensured the evolution of a colourful, diverse population. John Malathronas fell prey to Brazil?s seductive allure in the early eighties, a fascination that continues to this day. His odyssey through the adrenaline-fuelled, chaotic city bars, the extravagant and exotic Carnaval, the lush vegetation of the Amazon rainforest and the destitute shanty towns reveals the throbbing heartbeat of this remarkable country.
