Ten years on from an impetuous “lock, stock and barrel” move to the Costa Blanca, Mark Harrison recounts the events that exemplify his new Spanish lifestyle. From a serious skirmish with developers, to an encounter with wild boars and the vagaries of the weather, the story paints a humorous and yet poignant picture of life in foreign land as viewed through his own eyes and those of his stoical wife, Vivien. The story is interwoven with a series of paella experiences that epitomise Spanish culture and tradition and give a taste of everyday expat life.
