A couple from Wales struggle to keep afloat on the Costa del Sol, and a family from Northumberland expand their restaurant dream with a brand-new winter business in Mallorca.

In Spain, an expat-run family friendly villa complex finally opens its doors to guests. The Buckinghamshire couple running a fine dining gite in France are caught short by early arrivals and there's uncertainty for a Brit run scuba school after being told they can no longer dive in Gibraltar.
