I Do Love to Be Beside the Seaside

Hello Friends,
It's been a while since our last Blog but we have been busy enjoying the delights of our new surroundings.
Our niece arrived from England for three months. We've been doing up a cousin's shop. The rain hasn't kicked in like they said it would for the hurricane season so we've been down to the swamp on a regular morning or evening basis cutting grass for the cows and sheep. The regulars from our local rum shop had a beach picnic. Another cousin took us to a gorgeous beach on the west of the island. Josh had a beach picnic for his birthday. Our Aunt retired from work. A relative and good friend passed away; we are preparing now to attend our first funeral since we arrived in Barbados and we've had to find a new outlet to kill our chickens. In among all this, we've also been sending and receiving the emails which we so love to read which keeps us in touch with the rest of the world.
Obviously all of this would take far too long to write about now. We've discovered a website that let's you put all your photos online. You can then link to it for everybody to see on the web rather than sending them and clogging up our inboxes. This may take a little while. We are off tonight to Tim's On De Hiway, a new bar which opened up in Spring Gardens, just up from Bridgetown, so we'll be quite busy still. (Is drinking and partying and having a great time an occupation?)
Watch this space and prepare for serious links!
Love to everybody.
