Great to be BRITISH! Updated 25th January….
It’s sort of good being back home where it’s bloody freezing with not much is happening but to think it will be Easter in a few weeks then we had all better get on our knees and pray for an early change in the weather over the next four weeks. They are such a miserable lot out there in St Kitts and when I compare the happy atmospheres at our Car Boot Sales to being served in some of the shops by miserable and indifferent assistants I think I will have to send a posse of our people to cheer…WILBUR the PIG is DEAD thank the lord!
On Sunday Lou and I drove around the island which takes about 2 hours but SUNDAY is the day of the LORD here, there are so many churches that are full to bursting point of the local populations! "I can see you Lord" is chanted in high voice from up to 400 chapels-n-churches, the crowds of worshippers get really dressed up for the occasions as they get all togged up in their 1960s 70s and 80s clothing lovingly folded away for the next week! This is when they are happy praising their God for whatever but it is the preachers…So this is what happened when my back is turned!!
According to Rachel who supervised Truro on Sunday 50 sellers turned up to sell at the first Car Boot Sale of the year well supported by about 500 eager buyers who spent well. Towards the end of the sale Rachel went to collect the directional signs which we place around Truro. Whilst she was away the caterers left and locked up the main gates locking in 8 sellers who were most displeased! One of 'the irate prisoners' phoned me and whilst I appreciated the problem his rudeness did not help! Eventually Rachel returned and opened the gates and we apologise…St Kitts….continued…..CANNABIS!
It is no secret that the majority of the population of St Kitts has at some time in their lives been involved with either growing or selling Cannabis and one of the CHALAWA sons has just come out of prison for the following reason. Several months ago unemployed Bignell aged 23 was stopped and searched by the police and a small quantity of the weed enough for about 3 smokes was found in his pockets. He was arrested put in the overnight cell and bailed to appear before the courts. Several months went by he had heard nothing about about…Very poor Internet service here!
Sorry the blogs are infrequent due to a crap internet service. Weather is fine but TOO hot! Got the water sorted, Lou has been to her YOGA today and tells me there were nine ladies and only one man who stood in front of Lou! When they started doing the exercises they all had to do a SUPERMAN position which is standing on one leg with the other one in the air. Apparently the man fully exposed himself as he stood in this daft position while my Lou had to endure the scene! Nine women and one man? What a…Rain and then more rain but no bloody water!
Day 6 Went to Basseterre the Capital of St Kitts for a look around the shops and we reckon up to 20% shops have closed down over the last two years due to the world recessions. The town looks unloved and to see a smiling face is a rare occurence, over the years we have come here the kids coming from schools were polite but this time they dont even look at the tourists. That is up to them but as tourism is their main industry they should awaken to the fact that they are the future of this country…GREETINGS from St Kitts!
Its Wednesday at 8.00am and Cornwall's time is 4 hours ahead of here but do not think we are in the raging sun and heat here because the showers followed us from home. After almost 24 hours travel we arrived very late on Saturday night crashed out to be woken up by an absolute downpour of heavy but warm rain which lasted about 20 minutes followed by brilliant sunshine which dried up everywhere within minutes. We are staying at an apartment known as Bayhill house is has spectacular views of the Caribbean and Atlantic Oceans but then so do all…Indoor Car Boot Sale-Tregony for 14 stalls!

Challenge on BRONZ to GOLD!!
You will remember the story of the 5'2" Bronze stature of a very pretty young lady on sale at Newquay Car Boot this season. Hundreds saw it men compared it to the figure of their wives but did'nt dare tell them their thoughts I fell in love with it and bought her for 70 quid. I took her home and she has been in the office ever since. She is such great company (never says a word) but parts of her a flaking and their are cracks across her bum chest and back which need repairing before being sold on…Happy New Year roll on 2013
2012 was an absolute bastard of a year for most of the UK because the weather controlled the country for all businesses especially farming and outdoor leisure facilities. Its no use complaining about the weather we all do our best but it is bloody demoralizing. We have visited all of the locations with The Royal Cornwall Showground coming out on top with the best drained grounds but Lanhydrock and Long Rock are very open grounds and cause worries about the new season. A friend came from Newcastle by train yesterday and was stunned at the sights of most of the…Page 71 of 109
