This was us on New Years Eve just thinking about getting ready for the evening ahead. The Lushuns celebrate New Year hard . We were still shaking our bits in the early hours and the music blared until sunrise,which coincidentally was when we had to get up to take John,Fi and Vic to the airport to get their plane to Martinique. It should have been an afternoon flight but they cancelled that one so we had no option. We felt awfull, so goodness knows how the kids felt with their long journey . We will never suggest the cheaper/longer route to get here again. It ended up costing the same but fraught with potholes, like fog in Heathrow on the first leg, which meant they missed all their connections!
We are off to buy machetes in preperation of the land clearance. It is a very over grown plot and although the builders do clear they only clear the building site, not the rest, so we will have our work cut out for us over the next few months. It will always be an ongoing job though as everything grows so fast.
If any one is on Skype our address is thebullens (all one word) We try and be around on Sunday lunchtimes yourtime as the cafe is quiet and we dont disturb anyone at 8am our time.
Until next time hope you are well and warm..someone said snow next week?

hey guys, I agree that the crack of dawn mission to the airport trek was not the dream - although think i was still drunk !!Oops. (apologies again for my new yrs eve drunkeness!!) Had a pretty funny time in Fort de France airport though, we got involved in a stand off with a taxi driver trying to rip us off for a round trip to the nearest McDonalds (a hangover necessity!!) after an hour and a half we eventually backed down and agreed to pay the most outrageous amount of money for the trip as we were that desperate for some greasey food!! hee hee.
Im definately missing wine down and you guys it is so windy and depressing here!! vic xxxxxx
