Hi Tom,

Greetings from Spain! We arrived on Monday after a long journey — the plane was two hours late. Our hotel is small but very clean, and it's only five minutes from the beach. Yesterday we swam in the sea all morning and then ate fish at a little restaurant near the harbour. It was delicious! Tomorrow we're going to visit the old castle on the hill. Mum says it's more than five hundred years old. I'll send you a photo. See you next week!

Twenty years ago, the fishing village of Portelo appeared in few guidebooks, and its narrow streets belonged to the 800 people who lived there. Then a budget airline opened a route to the regional airport, a film crew used the harbour as a location, and photographs of its painted houses began to spread on social media. Today Portelo receives close to 9,000 visitors a day in high season — more than ten times its population.

The effects have been dramatic. Souvenir shops and cafés have replaced the bakery, the pharmacy and the fishmonger, forcing residents to drive to the next town for basic shopping. Rents have tripled as landlords convert apartments into holiday lets, and younger families, unable to compete, have moved inland. The village school, which had 70 pupils a decade ago, now has 23.

The local council is trying to regain control. Coaches must now park outside the village, day-trippers pay a small entry fee in July and August, and new holiday-rental licences have been suspended. Critics say these measures arrived a decade too late, and that Portelo has already traded its identity for tourist income. Supporters reply that without tourism the village would have declined anyway, as fishing alone could no longer support it.

Question: What does the falling number of school pupils suggest?

When the software company where Elena Marsh worked announced in 2021 that its employees could work from anywhere permanently, she did what tens of thousands of others have since done: she left the city. She sold her one-bedroom flat, bought a house with a garden in a town of 4,000 people, and cut her commute from ninety minutes to nine seconds.

Towns like hers have been transformed by this quiet migration. The population of Alderton has grown by 12 per cent in four years, the primary school has a waiting list for the first time in living memory, and the high street — half-empty in 2019 — now supports two cafés, a bookshop and a co-working space. House prices, inevitably, have followed: up 40 per cent since 2020, to the dismay of local families whose wages have not moved at anything like the same rate. "The newcomers bring money and energy," says one long-term resident, "but my daughter, who was born here, cannot afford a house here. That cannot be right."

Economists are divided over whether the shift will last. Some point out that several large employers have already begun calling staff back to the office three days a week, which puts distant towns out of reach. Others argue the change has passed the point of no return: once a company has hired employees it has never met, in cities it has no office in, geography stops being a rule and becomes a preference.

Question: What does the phrase 'geography stops being a rule and becomes a preference' suggest?

RESTAURANT REVIEW: 'The Copper Pot', by our food critic

It is rare for a restaurant to annoy and delight me in a single evening, but The Copper Pot managed both. Let me deal with the annoyances first. Although we had booked a week in advance, our table was not ready, and we spent forty minutes at the bar being ignored by staff who were clearly overstretched. The menu, chalked on a board too far away to read comfortably, changes daily — an admirable idea, poorly executed, since our waiter had to recite it three times and still forgot the fish.

And yet, when the food finally arrived, almost all was forgiven. The roasted cauliflower starter, served with burnt butter and hazelnuts, was the best thing I have eaten this year. The lamb was cooked with real confidence, pink and resting in its own juices, and the plum tart tasted of actual plums rather than sugar — rarer than you might think. Prices are fair for cooking of this standard: expect to pay around forty euros a head without wine.

Would I return? Yes — but on a quiet Tuesday, not a busy Saturday, and I would ask them to write the menu down. The kitchen deserves a front-of-house team that matches its talent.

Question: What is the reviewer's overall judgement of The Copper Pot?

For thirty-one years, Tomas Andersson kept the light burning on Svartholm, a bare rock two hours by boat from the Swedish coast. He was, by the end, the country's last resident lighthouse keeper, and when automation finally made his job unnecessary in 1994, he did something nobody expected: he asked to stay. The authorities, puzzled but sympathetic, let him remain as an unpaid caretaker, and he lived on the island alone until his death in 2011.

His journals, published last year, have become an unlikely bestseller. They record a life ruled by weather and routine — cleaning the lens, measuring the wind, salting fish for winter — but what has captured readers is Andersson's refusal to describe his life as lonely. "People confuse being alone with being abandoned," he wrote in 1998. "I have the sea's company, which is never twice the same, and I know every stone of this island the way other men know their children's faces."

His editor, Karin Lindqvist, believes the journals appeal to readers precisely because their world has disappeared. "We check our phones two hundred times a day and call it staying connected," she says. "Tomas watched one horizon for thirty years and missed nothing. Readers sense he possessed something we have lost, even if they cannot name it."

Question: What was unexpected about Andersson's behaviour in 1994?

When sixteen-year-old Daniel Kovač noticed how many plastic bottles were thrown away at his school every day, he decided to count them. In a single week, he collected 1,400 bottles from the corridors and playground. Shocked by the number, he wrote to the head teacher suggesting recycling bins for every classroom. The reply was polite but discouraging: the school could not afford the bins, and the council did not collect recycling from schools.

Instead of giving up, Daniel contacted a local plastics company, which agreed to pay a small amount for every kilogram of bottles delivered to its factory. He organised a rota of volunteers to collect and weigh the bottles, and within a term the project was earning enough to buy the bins the school had said it could not afford. By the end of the year, eleven other schools in the region had copied his scheme.

Daniel is modest about his success. "I didn't invent anything," he says. "I just refused to accept that nothing could be done. The hardest part wasn't the recycling — it was convincing adults that a teenager had a serious plan worth listening to."

Question: According to Daniel, what was the most difficult part of the project?
