This week we chat to Alfie Hincks, founder of.... https://seascopemaritimetraining.com .... about careers in the superyacht and cruise ship industries, football, and plenty more.

....and we mark the sad passing of Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, or Margaret Whittaker as she was known on the island. Founder of Slimming World, and pillar of the community in Mallorca. Have a read of Vicki´s tribute in the Majorca Daily Bulletin here.

....we catch up with motor racing talent Luna Fluxá Cross (and her mum). Half English, half Mallorquin. Just 14 years old, she´s already turning heads in the motorsport world, and has her eyes on an F1 future.

Also stuff about the window in the cathedral, a bit of bicycle racing news, and a phenomenon in the cathedral, and general Mallorca themed babble....... but mostly its about Luna... did we tell you she´s amazing?

Read Vicki´s interview with Luna in the Majorca Bulletin here. https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/holiday/life-style/2025/01/20/130601/luna-fluxa-cross-mallorca-rising-star-making-history-motorsport.html

And if we left you completely in the dark about Santa Lucia (ha ha) then visit https://www.majorcadailybulletin.com/photos/fantastic-santa-lucia-concert-palma-cathedral.html for some photos.

The Santa Lucia tradition:

Lucia was a Christian virgin who was martyred in the 3rd century. The Swedish practice of Santa Lucia is much more to do with the practice of bringing light into darkness during the Swedish winters. A young girl portrays Lucia, wearing a wreath of candles on her head, and is supported by other young people, the girls carrying candles and the boys carrying stars. Santa Lucia processions happen all over Sweden in community centres such as hospitals, churches and schools.

Hasta next time.
