Not sure what Elgar and Blake would have made of it either. See my latest post on Montserrat! I’ll have to read Pete McCarthy’s book.. It’s not on kindle. I read McCarthy’s Bar years ago xx

We do meet lots of people. But don’t tell me Annie that you never missed home or Kathryn just a bit when you were travelling for a year in S America? xx

Hi Tom. I think that they’re all volcanic islands round here.. some more extinct than others. The one on Martinique erupted in 1902, I think, and wiped out 30,000 of the population in the capital. We’ll be there in a few weeks…

Thanks Jetski. We decided to do just that! xx

Our guide was a young cricket player, hoping to get selected for the West Indies team, so a hike in the mountain wearing bedroom slippers was a walk in the park for him xx

Bet the royalties soften the blow, though. Be interested to hear about Monserrat. There’s a strong Irish connection ( read Pete McCarthy’s book ) through white slavery as I remember.

Think with the Britannia thing I’d have opted for the hiding of the flag! I’m sure it’s a very impressive ship though.
