British expats rally for more winter flights to Majorca
It’s the same old chestnut. Every autumn as soon as happy summer holidaymakers have packed up and returned home to different parts of Europe, Majorca rapidly goes into hibernation. The knock on effect of this is that resorts fast become ghost towns and hotels and restaurants close up from as early as November. Naturally this is dismal for the local...

Spring time in Mallorca
What a glorious time it is to be in Mallorca. The fat and juicy lemons are literally hanging from the trees and wild and delicious notes of jasmine and orange blossom fill the air. Temperatures here have soared and we’re experiencing the sort of weather we normally come to expect of June. No one’s complaining!...

Belated New Year Greetings
It’s extraordinary how time seems to swallow you up when a considerable part of your life is spent welded to a computer in a basement. Not that this bothers me.

Mallorca Reveals a Scientific Phenomenon of its Own!
Mallorca’s very own Dodo
Goats from a Small Island, my third book about life in rural Mallorca will be published by Summersdale in July. I am delighted by the growing media interest in my central theme of Myotragus, the little mouse-goat that became extinct in the Baleares about 5000 years ago. Myotragus was discovered in 1909 by Dorothea Bate, a...

Myotragus…the year of the Mallorcan mouse-goat!
Goats from a Small Island
There is nothing more liberating that being released from the shackles of the writing den and if another well meaning person says that penning a book is surely an inspirational process in which the muse acts as guide, I shall go into the orchard and knock myself out with a very large lemon. The fact...
