Jumbo jets full of German visitors, and UB40 are all heading for our shores.

- Freezing weather as storm Juliet visits the island,

- Palma disappears into a hole.

- Latest update on Sir Richard Branson's mountain retreat.

...... and we talk with Becky and Keri from Mallorca Solutions. They hold your hand through all kinds of Spanish bureaucracy, but this time we focus on residency visas. The golden visa, and the brand new nomad visa. If you are moving to the island, and you aren't an EU citizen, you are going to need one.

It's Balearic Day on March 1st.

.. we catch up with Dan, back on the island after his, and Ian's row across the Atlantic.
- Folklore about almonds, Moorish Kings, Indian Princesses and sardine funerals.
- Nicole Kidman's sunken conversation pit.
 ...and yet another Knight of the realm is in town, very briefly. 

Sad to report no word yet from Sir Richard on our invitation to his flashy mountain hideaway. 

... and we have plenty of tomatoes.

No news is good news, unless you are trying to make a podcast, but it's been a quiet week on the island, apart from where we were recording which definitely wasn't.

... a few days late due to lengthy celebrations.


- Sir Richard's new gaff prepares to open
- Sir Ben's new boat is the wrong way up.

..... and plenty more going on on the biggest lump in the archipelago.

The regional government announces a new website to book campsites on the island, but didn't post a link, and we can't find it.... see if you can!

Happy New Year... again, Chinese one this time. Palma celebrates the year of the rabbit.

It's been snowing, a bit, and some bicycling happened.

..... and we have a chat to the endlessly fascinating Paul Abrey. Former British Consul to the archipelago, now a big cheese in the movie business at Palma Pictures.

.... and sad news to report the passing of long time Mallorca resident Donald Trelford, Former editor of the Observer, and in his later years a regular contributor to the Majorca Bulletin. A life well lived, have a read of a couple of obituaries.

....Sant Antoni continues for another week, and we natter to two loonies rowing across the Atlantic, direct from their tiny boat somewhere in the vicinity of the middle of nowhere.

Nicole Kidman hooks up with Morgan Freeman on the island, and the rest of the  Americans have finally figured out where we are.

.... and as promised, a site for Brits to bookmark, the official site of the British Embassy in Spain, for all of your updates directly from the horse's mouth. It's not actually a horse (of course) but Ambassador Hugh Elliot, we couldn't recall his name while recording.
We beg a thousand pardons your excellency.
