****I missed this part out...my arrival in country from negril day 1****
(From when I WAS CRYING IN THE CAR SAYING BYE TO NEGRIL)
OMG LOL what was this?What a wuss I am. TICTOC was crying OMG nobody makes tictoc cry EVER only Jamaica can make me cry.I never cry I don’t really show feelings too much it’s too much effort LOL
But there I was bawling like a baby…wiped my eyes let out our friend and on with our journey into the hills.Bye bye Negril until we meet again and everyone and everything in it.And of course all of the people and things and food and places I SAVED especially for next time.
I should practise what I preach and do everything in the here and now as next time and ONE DAY may never come but I can’t, I like to save things so I have things to look forward to for next time and always save the best things until last.
I have saved a lot of things to do on my return,
I need to bring a whole stashful of money though to complete it all.There was a traffic accident at the roundabout on the way out of Negril then we took the road past rooftop club out of Negril.I waved bye bye to the beach park BYE BYE My baby soundsystem I LOVE you BOOM BOOM BOOM I waved bye to the patty shop and fatties and the blue sea and American pie nightclub and all of the little spots I will miss, Looked fondly through the window that was tinted and the handle was b@@@@ broke so I could not put it down and take photographs damn!
We passed bamboo avenue and middle quarters and past Peter toshs burial site.We arrived fairly quickly to the family home.
My father in law greeted us at the gate Hey we are homeeee
He is doing really well I think he is about 90 years old now
Then my mother in law came out and my sister in law and one of her children.Some chicken and home cooked gorgeous sauce waiting for me wooooo this is what I been waiting for the real deal homecooked food.
Pictures of me all up on the walls in my wedding dress and photographs of all of my family , yes this is my home I am welcome here and happy and it is always nice here.
Theres meeeee TICTOC on the wall ha ha (Long story took me a while to get my photos up there maybe i will tell u later on but then I am not a maybe girl so most likely I will lol)
There are 2 new additions here a mother cat and baby kitten quite cute even though I am not a pet person.I have taken photographs to share with you.
So our driver decided he want to HOLD A VYBE LOL take a likkle rest hold a vyb a meditation LOL
WTH I said you gonna get me in CHUBBLE If my rum is banned your stuff is definitely BANNED so he went round side of the house LOL
NAUGHTY NAUGHTY so I am now on an official rum ban and I have to behave , maybe we will attend church, the children best behave or else! No whining about food no sirrrrrr
Homework is a full time priority now.
There are quite a few trees growing in the yard, coconut, lime, oranges, bananas and mangos and some other things I have not learned about yet.
My son was very pleased to see his grandparents and immediately started to tell them he now has some adult teeth and about his school.
I hear my sister in law talk about how fat we got LOL yes that is us big fat people LOL don’t start me on the food prices ha ha.
Waved to the neighbours I am waiting for one nice lady to arrive home she always looks out for my in-laws very nice lady.
So I have a little bit of rum left in my suitcase,not sure if that will make an appearance or not, I have a bedroom door lock, Access to Jamaican music as long as I play quietly LOL I could have a private party LOL but for now I will remain on best behaviour!
I am currently watching the sun set over the mountains and a new journey is beginning and my other journey has ended.Its all so emotional 2 different worlds in one same country.Both worlds I love the same.
One, partying concerts and soundsystems and love of my life which is always taken away from me – MUSIC.
And the other- family and church and talking and cooking and learning
Both Worlds I love are here in one country JAMAICA and I want them to last forever.If I could bring my parents here it would be really good.
Apart from a few family members I have no connection to England apart from my passport.NOTHING is there for me miserable old cold hellhole!
All the Jamaicans I know who wanted to go to England thinking it would be a better life soon shot back on a plane straight back to Jamaica!
So now the sun is setting over the mountain views and the house is in darkness and is getting all of the wooden shutters closed up.It is as quiet as a mouse peaceful and serene the only sound is the tapping of my keyboard with my nails done in Negril I miss you Negril!

LOL I can hear my son rambling on to his Jamaican auntie about cat food and how many tins does it eat and when OMG stop questioning her!
He likes the kitten he is being real nosey OMG
I am allowed to drink out of the glasses in the posh glasses cabinet woieeeee V.I.P MI SEH!
I am always made to feel at home here I can be myself ,their home is my home , my home is theirs, my inlaws came to our home in England a few years back a couple of times.Now they do not feel up to the journey.
WOW YOU CAN HEAR A PIN DROP HERE NOW, THE MOON IS COMINGOUT, THE KITTEN GAVE A PURR and even the children are enjoying the peace and quiet.
I find it very entertaining that my husband has to control his mood swings as my inlaws are still mommy and daddy and discipline still rules the roost ha ha
Peace and quiet time for me yay!
Aww my mother in law is now dressed in nighty with her little plaits in her hair she is so cute and so loving to us all.
No mr egos live here only NICE people,nice polite well mannered lovely people.YES YES! I am a bit out of my element now as I have no plans nor a fund for any plans so it will be taking each day as it comes and each new day will bring a new plan.The family smiled when they saw the pushchair it was worth the extra effort on a minibus 2 trains a tube and a 10 hr aeroplane and another transfer plus one more drive just to get that one little smile.I am waiting to give it my neice who I will hopefully see very soon.My childrens cousin age 14 is staying over so the kids can play Jamaica style and he is very creative and has already made a toy car from plastic bottles andcaps and string just like my son said he wanted to make so he can teach him how to build toys.
Then my son can show some children back home how to do it.

I brought some cheese, spaghetti ,egg and toast for supper so we will have a little midnight feast with our packets of cookies too! Let me live here in Jamaica I am so upset that this journey has almost ended yet I feel I never even got to begin.I have to get straight back here although the loans I took to top up the zero budget I can only imagine the mess of bills I will return to!
Hopefully they will not take too long to deal with and I will be back.
OMG my husband just asked his mother for rum LOL he said I know you got some for people to have at Christmas as they treat the neighbours to a little if they visit at Christmas so she said yes she hid it LOL so hesaid where and poured himself half a glass OMG lol I am not getting involved.Right in front of the Jesus and his disciples picture too!
I am chilling out tonight I am in the zone going to chat with the family with no TV no noise cook up my little snack supper and sit out on the verandha with my father in law.That is the plan for tonight.The kids are working on their school projects and will then head to bed after cleaning up!
Nighty night my friends, that was a saying my nana used to say before she died Nighty night sleep tight.
From the hills and interior of my baby Jamaica.I was sad to leave Negril but it is not totally over yet.
I would love to come back for the yellowman show but do not have taxi fare.Maybe I could call him ask him to pick me up along the way! HA I WISH
Hubby would totally ban that idea LOL
For everything someone says there is a song to back it up! Infact there is actually a song called back it up LOL Jamaica is full of musicand there is a song for absolutely everything you are talking about and everytime I speak here I cannot help but remember the songs that sing about it so I will start adding the songs to the reports!
I have to go it is bible study time :0 reading passages out loud- everyone LATER X
