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 he has now mastered all too well. When the Kerrs are introduced to Mallorca's champagne-swilling filthy-rich set, their eyes are opened by just how the other half lives. But their feet remain firmly on the ground. Mosquito-repellent vinegar baths, the island's simply-delicious cuisine, and background support from friends old and new, dogs, donkeys, parrots and canaries all help make this an autumn such as they've never known – Viva Mallorca!
