This is the second travel biography book by Peter Kerr telling the story of him and his family setting up a new home on a fruit farm in Mallorca.
The trees continue to produce plenty of fruit, even after a severe pruning by Pepe which leaves them looking in a sorry state after he has thinned out the branches. Pepe and the neighbouring farmers all offer helpful advice to the family on how to look after the trees and which tasks should be undertaken during a waxing or a waning moon!
As they head into their first summer at Ca's Mayoral and temperatures steadily rise they finally learn that they have to be as tranquilo as everyone else and work slowly to get all the jobs done. They are now really settling into their new life, all except Sandy their eldest son who is not quite sure if he wants to stay or go back to Scotland.
