Caribbean Living

There's something truly magical about the Caribbean - from the original plantation houses to today's island living. The verandahs, overhanging roofs and shutters that keep the houses cool in this tropical climate, add so much charm to this small piece of paradise. It must be the most beautiful place to live!

Up the Garden Path

Today is gardening day - we're mowing, weeding and starting the annual agapanthus harvest. There are over 10,000 flowers to be chopped off so I'm hoping for fine weather (and a hot shower and a large G&T at the end of the day).

A Place in the Sun

The rain has finally gone and the sunshine is back. It's much too nice to stay indoors - come outside and enjoy the day; perhaps a long, lazy lunch or lie back and take in the view! I'll be back in a second with a nice cold glass of .......
