St Lucia

Sunset at the resort.


Catamaran to the national icon - the Pitons (peaks in background)



Hot active volcano replete with Rasta chill...


Cocoa plantation


The "dancing of the beans". 
By the way, these aren't my feet - they're the feet of a skinny Caribbean teenage lad who demonstrated how cocoa beans are 'processed'.


I looked good and hard - no pirate. Damn it. 






Christmas in the Caribbean

Merry Miami

Sunset after a downpour led to a dark and broody Miami night.



Cue the boat Christmas parade right past my window.



Merry Miami Christmas one and all!

I feel a collection coming on

Nutcrackers. 

That's what I am giving myself this Christmas. 
Can't get enough. 




Pirate, Sherlock Holmes, Gambler...
Genius. Every one.

Sweet sweet home

It sure is nice to be home. 






The sunsets don't disappoint. 




Plenty of room if anyone wants to come and play.
Just saying...

Thanks a-plenty



Georgia on my mind.




Thanksgiving goodness and Southern hospitality at its most gracious.
Two turkeys, 12 people, four desserts, innumerable calories...
 plump and content. 


Right pretty. 


Great tastes shop alike...
Brunette wears beige, blonde wears black. 
"Love your coat, no love your coat!"


Happy birthday Beedle!


ROMANCE! 
Officially the world's most beautiful couple. 
Fact. 





I am thankful for: 

The cuddles, both human and puppy
The autumnal leaves and the long walks in them
The spectacular show of Southern Hospitality and the sensational feast
The coffee that Shane trudged out every morning to hunt and kill 
The girlie shopping fun times
The Nighty Nighty tea 
The morning licks and long night spoons with the showgirl hound, the one and only Lola
The Range Rover's arse warming goodness
The grandeur, splendour and the grace of Georgia and her very finest, most beautiful and charming citizens
The love, friendship and fun ...


Awwww!

Close but no shoes

Amazing view from The Standard hotel in NYC and yet, oh and yet, no time to shop. 

Heart. Breaking. 

Maybe this time, maybe next time...





This is the pier that the Titanic would have docked at.
