England teaches him the basics like english and maths andscience but I bring him to Jamaica to learn his history , his roots, hisfamily, their way of life, trying to keep some traditions and pass it down andhe learns so much.My girls do too and they become more appreciative of whatthey have and I have tried to persuade my husband to be the same way and toGIVE instead of taking and this trip he suprised me and actually gave somethingaway which he has never done before and I did not even tell him or ask himto.He always says no anyway.So that was nice they are all learning to share andto GIVE what you can when you can those people you help up may be the only oneperson in the world you need one day and even if not..if you can help someonejust do it!Everything I get I give away if I am not really using it.I just needneccessities.If I have something I do not use too often and I see someone coulduse it, It is given straight away.And I always get stuff back everyones alwaysgiving me stuff some I love and some I use to help other people .I watched thesun come up this morning and watched people at shields having breakfastwatching the waves splash.When I return if I am not all inclusive I willdefinately get back to shields for their happy hour to get great littlecocktails at a cheap price to watch the sun go down and listen to some tunes.Idid enjoy that aspect of shields although I rarely spent time at shields doingthat but again I saved it for next time! I have saved so much for next timethat maybe I will have to have another 20 trips to squeeze it all in! I do nothave a date of when I can make this a more permanent thing all I can do is keeptrying at this moment until I get everything I need.I am not bothered onetinybit if it does not work out I will be just mega happy to say I did it I tried Ihad funa long the way.Obviously I will make massive plans to hopefully make itwork forever but if not no worries.I will still have my british passport andwill be no worse off then before we left if I had to return back toEngland.Jamaica feels like my home not England and I hope one day to be able tobe here on a more permanent basis.Everyone keeps saying happy new year and I amlike HUH?And a face of confusion comes on me and I think oh yeah LOL it ishappy new year yayy I was here for christmas and new year! I forget it is newyear as I am having so much fun in the sun and everyone back home is poorlywith coughs and colds in the freezing snow and usually at this time of year Ihave blown my budget on food cooking for over 20 people and buying gifts anddecorating my house with every single light and decoration you can imagine withmy big inflatable santa swinging off my rooftop and it never gets appreciatedreally and I made a good decision to get out of all that and come here this isthe best christmas present I EVER GOT MYSELF! santa did not come for me thisyear but somehow a way was made and I got to stay here for 6 beautiful weeksand the fun is about to continue just in a different style.I will have no wifiat the family house but I intend to write a report every day in a word documentand will copy and paste them here as soon as I can get wifi.I think their nextdoor neighbour may have internet I am sure I will check that out LOL so if youdo not hear from me for a while I may be chasing goats or picking bananas orpossibly be getting up to no good and misbehaving or having some cookinglessons with all the flours and powders and spices.I am looking forward toseeing all the family and catching up and eating OMG yes eating homemadecoleslaw that is the first thing I will buy and make one huge pot full of thestuff.I have not had it once since being here and it is my favourite especiallywitha spicy dish, nice cold coleslaw.So everyone I have to go say bye to somefriends who are passing by to send me off and I will miss them all forever butI will be back as soon as possible.I think I have behaved myself fairly welland I have not been kicked off the board THANKS ROB for letting me stay andbeing a part of the boardie family.I LOVE the board and I may never have metsome of my boardie friends without it.I love to bend or break rules but Robseems to manage to keep me in line God knows how! But I thinkit is because eventhough some of you may think some rules are harsh they are here for a reasonand they work.So I will stick to the rules and hope you all do too!I have seenonly 4 or 5 weeks of the backstage stuff I bet Rob has had a massive sensoryoverload in all of his years here.Imagine if he wrote a book OMG!So before Ileave Negril although I probably will not get to say it in person now as I amsaving them for next time I would like to thank Rob and Lisa for making me andmy family welcome and becoming our friends in Negril and being there if weneeded them and allowing us all to get together through this avenue.Robs doinga good job, Robs a cool guy and we did clash a while back a little but I thinkthat is different cultures , different dialect just two totally differentpeople from different worlds but we got over it and moved on and now I hope weare friends.If you hear them calling me ditzy BEAT THEM LOLOL.I know thissounds like kissing ass a bit but I really think the board is a nice thing tohave for Negril and to get people together who wish to have company.So manysolo travellers here I guess they could get lonely too and this is the perfectavenue to find new friends with similar interests as yourself.Like I explainedI have NO-ONE in England who is remotely interested in Jamaica or anythingJamaican, the music the people the food etc so this is a perfect little placefor me to hang out and make similar minded friends.So thanks Rob keep up thegood work.See you next time.We definately have to have a hang out party daynext time.Rob was always busy working this trip so did not really get to hangwith Rob and Lisa for a day not saying they would have wanted to LOL but stillI woulda hunted them down ...next time baby!xxxxxxxxxOff into the hills I gocheck back soon x
