Due to circumstances that I wish I could control, but cannot, I am on a short but essential break. My computer will be in repair for a few days.
Meanwhile, I have been absorbed in the book “Call Me American” by Abdi Nor Iftin is an intimate and at the same time high octane refugee story – highly recommended – photographed below in a cozy spot in Negril. Thank you, Sunset at the Palms – it was beautiful.
Soon come!

I retired as Public Affairs Specialist/Information Adviser at the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica in 2012. I am British by birth, married to a Jamaican, with one son. I have lived on this amazing island for 37 years. I am currently a Board Member of the Natural History Museum of Jamaica, a member of the Media Working Group at BirdsCaribbean, a Director of BirdLife Jamaica and a member of the Caribbean Climate Justice Alliance. My interests and pursuits are creative writing, reading (especially international fiction), environmental issues (bird-watching is a real passion), art, music (I am "wired" for rock but also love jazz and classical), and indie films from around the world. And Arsenal Football Club.
