Currently enjoying a very hot break on the East coast of Mallorca. Weather here has been absolutely blistering - temperatures approaching 30 degrees centigrade every day (and not dropping far below that at night). The hotel room has fantastic views out to sea. Last night a procession of 100 little boats, each lit up by lanterns, passed across the bay in front of us. Later, when the boats had returned to harbour, there was a spectacular (and loud!!!) fireworks display.
Natural connections have included a profusion of colourful flowers, both in gardens and on waste ground, two young Spotted Flycatchers making feeding flights from a hotel balcony and lots of bats flitting above early evening shoppers along the pedestrian walkway.
