Four fabulous, beautifully written memoirs that will make you love the Caribbean for much more than its sun and exotic delights. Lally Brown has captured the essence of the people, the places and the colourful way of life in the islands.

I loved this book too. My admiration for Dawn and Don is immense!

A really interesting project supporting Montserrat marine life. If you love Turtle’s then this is yet another reason to visit Montserrat 🇲🇸 #nature #marinelife #Turtles Government Information Unit Montserrat

Ever wanted a job on a Caribbean Island? Soft sand, warm seas, palm trees, friendly people? 🏝️
A word of caution, beware what you ask for! 😲
Be prepared for hurricanes, drug barons, erupting volcano, murder, escaping convicts, armed robbery and much, much more!

Dunno what sort of weather everyone else has, but it's been teeming down here since mud morning. An afternoon read is needed. One of the nicest, easy to read books. Well done to Wendy and Rory.

A special thanks to these amazing peeps who support me through thick and thin ❤️

Good morning from a bright and sunny Gibraltar…
So great to be back on board and looking forward to a busy day preparing Zingara for the new season. There will be snags, as there always are, especially as she is now getting older like the rest of us but it will be fun whatever.

An amusing memoir about living in Spain with holiday guests. vallypee.wordpress.com/2024/05/24/oli…

This is a very special memoir that moved me deeply! Highly recommended.
