Summary
The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society finds Chris and his family still living on their farm, El Varo -- but life there never stands still. You will find yourself laughing out loud as Chris is instructed by his daughter on the way to treat dung beetles, bluffs his way as an art history guide to millionaire Bostonians, collects seeds in North Africa, and joins an Almond Blossom Appreciation Society. And you'll cringe as he tries his hand at office work in an immigrants' advice centre in Granada.
In this sequel to Driving over Lemons and A Parrot in a Pepper Tree, Chris Stewart's optimism and zest for life is as infectious as ever.

I loved this story. We visit our apartment a lot in Carbonaras. We are in lockdown because of Coronavirus so listening to this stopped me missing our Spanish friends. I wish his first books were on Audible

Transported to distant climes, a gem of a listen.
I sat back every day after my chores were done and listened. Enveloped in the warmth of the medditterranian transported to the Spanish hills and plains of Morocco.

A good listen
Love Chris’ memoirs and his gentle humour, the deprecating musings snd the vision of the lifestyle and countryside that he creates by the writing. He has a nice voice too. Could listen all day..

A wasted opportunity
Not really engaging at all, I must say. A big disappointment after the sickly composed, and genuinely amusing and interesting 'Driving Over Lemons'.
