This post is just to show a couple of photos taken  during my daily commute from Molineux to Basseterre - something usually just catches my eye, and I have to stop the bike and dig the camera out! For example, this shot was taken on the way home one early evening, because the light was kind of magical, and the sea looked so calm and silky, as you can see below.

This next one shows a bar with the St. Kitts flag - the morning sun lighting it up with the mountain of Conaree in the background.

All for now!

Sunday night - at least I am not alone in the house - there are several other Living Things - at least one bat who lives in the roof and sometimes flies around the kitchen (if the light's off), several zillion termites (downstairs- actually hopefully less now as I had another attack on them yesterday with some diesel), some cockroaches, the odd centipede lurking and waiting to bite (ouch), several dozen mosquitos, a lot of spiders, harmless crawly worms, some inch-frogs (like to live in the bath), some small lizards, several trillion small pin-prick-sized ants (just put down some sugar or so and they'll appear from nowhere), the odd moth, ....and that's just indoors.

Outside in the yard and surrounding village - free-range chickens, cats, dogs, goats (mostly tethered), sometimes a cow, horse, bigger lizards, cattle egrets (see photo I took the other morning from my bedroom window, of one with a goat someone had tied in the yard), a zillion mating? crickets (right now, making noise as usual). the ubiquitous rat (thankfully a rare sight near my house), and a lot of cute birds, such as the yellow 'banana quoit' (see photo I got off the internet) . I've probably forgotten some other wildlife. Sometimes the monkeys come in the area, but I don't see them much (there are more monkeys than people on the island apparently, though).

Hi to all family and friends around the world (ie-UK mostly) and in St. Kitts too. This is a new blog because my Dad says he is interested in seeing/reading about my day to day life here in St. Kitts. (My other blog is rather non-productive at present  :{
