Very nice, country living is the best there is. One day I will make a move away from the seaside and submerge myself once again into the simplicity of the country.

Bink, LulaBell and Nanook - Glad you are enjoying the report and nice for me to be &quot;giving&quot; for a change - I'm usually taking so much enjoyment from your posts

Queen of d A - you caught the SUV ting as well...(smile)

During our morning visit to Uncle C's home I asked him to share with me some of the history of the district.

The blossoms on our neighbour's tree are so unique - no one I asked seemed to know the name of the blossom/tree. Anyone here know the name?



We decided that something the property needed was a few coconut trees. Were we ever surprised to find a wonderful newish garden centre a few miles down the road from us. The owner's last name is Wooley (can't remember the name of the centre - but it is near D'acre). If you any of you are moving back in this region you should visit this centre for flowers, trees, etc.

As I indicated in the title of this report - there were some hairy moments as we drove up and down that mountain. Like many Jamaican roads, this road up Dry Harbour mountain is NARROW, but that doesn't seem to slow many people down - especially the trucks.

Truck coming...


Truck passing...


To give you a better feel of the driving experience in this region here is a short video from one of our drives (up or down the mountain)- excuse the wind noise - the Flip camera's mic is very sensitive.

Ms. Muse, are the pictures taken with the same Flip camcorder?

I just googled them and they seem like a neat little gadget

Nylah the pictures were taken with my regular digital camera but you can take stills from the video recorded with the Flip. The Flip camera comes with software that allows you to make stills easily. I love my Flip

Hi TSmall - I remember your country posts from a few years back - those were wonderful and I always looked forward to your check-ins.
