This is a story tapped out on my iPhone on the patio at our own version of ‘Paradise in the Sun’ in Costa Adeje during our recent winter sun break (February/March 2026).

A modern version of a Peoples’ Friend tale, this is clearly fantasy fiction but hopefully it may entertain.

Suspend your critical faculties and dive in, the water’s warm. Good things happen in Paradise, don’t they?
