Welcome to Lomaverde – a new Spanish hotspot.
Dermot Lynch, is a widowed Midlands bus driver who travels to Lomaverde turning up one bright and sunny morning to visit his son Eammon and his girlfriend, Laura. Shame Eammon never opened Dermot’s letter saying that he was on his way.
To say his arrival is a shock is an understatement! You can imagine the hilarity, bickering
“He wasn’t sure at first what it was. The gleaming white cubes looked somehow scientific in purpose, a collection of laboratories or observatories perhaps. It was a few moments before he realised that what he was looking at was Eamonn’s village”
“Lomaverde looked like a mirage”
A holiday with your parents might not seem like a good idea to some so pity the poor Eamonn whose father turns up unannounced on his Spanish door step!Talk about a clash of countries and a clash of the generations too. This is not going to be an easy time for either of them. As they start to get used to one another in such a unique situation, they also start to become involved with the British expats’ life there which seems to consist of barbecuing and bickering. They look at their own pasts and how they are there today. However as well as luggage, there are secrets spilling out of suitcases here!
