Today was a glorious day!

Whoever said island life sweet was not lying.

Left my home with two guys on what should have been a 30 minute trip to collect some items from a friend of mine who is visiting from the US...left the house a little after 1 and got back home minutes to 5.

We made a trip to Montreal just to prove that the road was 'circular'.  Saw a sign about a spa decided to go take a look...found no spa headed back to the road. Here comes man with cutlass and fork, so we asked him about the spa...he said yeah man it down there not too far...we go look for the spa again with the strange man with weapons of mass destruction.



Found the spa! Yeah! No? No spa? Spa is dried up...

Okay back to the vehicle!

Climbing uphill in wet slippers is not an easy task.




"What the hell is that!!!??? "
I was being attacked by a creature with over a million legs, fur, a rainbow of colours, and fat body that was possibly a whole inch long. Luckily I had picked up a stick with which to defend myself had the stranger with the cutlass attacked.

You must always have a stick when entering unknown territory.

Okay back to the car...nothing to see here.

"Wait, wait, wait! What is that? Plumrose? "
"Girl, dem ain't ripe."
"What you mean dem ain't ripe? Some MUST ripe."

We enter premises of ...hmm mawga dog? Mawga dog looks at us doesn't seem bothered.

A few, hellos no response.

"Bring the bag!"

Ten minutes later a rastaman emerges from behind a hill,-

 "Hello"

"Hello, we just picking a few of yo wax apples eh, no scene".


You must always say, "no scene", it shows that you have a heart. :)

Back to the car!

"Aye remember, I said to stop so we could get the avocado dem."
"Yeah, we ain't reach no where near there yet."
"I know, but I am just reminding you."

Ten minutes later...

"You know when dey full?"
"No, I think you would know."
"How I would know? We will just pick the big ones"


WE PICKED EIGHT BIG ONES... and two soursops.











































Back to the car...the back seat is now filled with, wax apple, soursop, avocado, and a plant I cannot tell you anything about...it just appeared.

"Let's go round here, I have a friend who lives somewhere around here."

Drive aimlessly for about 5 minutes.

The friend who is stationary finds us...go figure.

Stood around chat for a bit and had 'lunch'...A viva water, a bag of plantain chips, and a pack of rough tops.

Rain started to pour like crazy....

What a day!
