| 16th November 2009 helen | - From: Fun with Derek and Jane Hi Guys, Looks like the end of a fantastic summer. We're busy getting ready for the start of the season, can't believe the team arrive week Tuesday - where did the summer/autumn go? The chalet is nearly finished, few odds & sods to do & then we will move out to a hobbit hole for the winter - that will be tough. Let us know when you;re heading to the mountains & we'll see you then. Love Helen & Chris x |

Sat in bed sending this as the tilers are finishing the living room floor; the carpenters are fitting skirtung boards elsewhere, so lots of dust & noise. Your idylic pictures made me quite jealous! Have fun. Love Helen & Chris |

| 19th June 2009 Gerry Whitehead | Well Done - From: Mango Lodge - finished for now... Hi Kate & Andy Been reading your blog.Tremendous stuff.Mango Lodge looks lovely & I was laughing at you both with all the local population & how easy they are to get on with.I first went to Dominica Jan.1961 & had a run ashore in Roseau & have been many time since.I mentioned to Kate recently,when I went to see A.Rene, we are going to Dominica again next year as tourists and staying at the Fort Young Hotel in Roseau fot 4 Nights having been to Antigua & then leaving for Grenada & then Barbados.We arrive Dominica 28.01.10 and leave 01.02.2010 & will hire a car whilst we are there so mayby we could get together during our stay. As I said Mango Lodge looks wonderful & even better with a Mount Gay & Coconut Water Love Gerry W. |
| 11th June 2009 millancia | thanks - From: Dominica Carnival! hello my name is millancia i would like to thank you for going to dominica you see not many people know where over half the population in england think dominica is in africa anyway i hoped you enjoyed it i was born in dominica but barely went to carnival (to rough) |
| 2nd June 2009 Frances Fontaine | Dreaming of that day - From: Work, Rest and Play at Mango Lodge Such a lovely and inspiring blogg. I have land in Bellvue and cannot wait for the day when I build and realise my dream. I am dreaming of that day. God willing |
| 26th March 2009 Kate and Andy wandering | A reply to Ruby - From: Dominica Carnival! You seem to have got the wrong idea Ruby. On Dominican music - we are positively amazed that a population of just 70,000 can produce half a dozen professional bands and that (in a world dominated by Anglo-American pop) this dominates in Dominica. We have Triple Kay t-shirts and we are MFR fans. We love Dominica and we love Carnival. |
| 25th February 2009 Ann Dougherty | Great Job! - From: Mango Lodge - finished for now... Been reading with interest your progress on the house. What a difference you have made. Dominica can be tough on new residents (and old) to get the motivation going with their limited resources. My sister in law lives on the other side of the island, if you ever run into her shopping, etc. Carol Bunting (ex-pat). I was born on Dominica, but have lived in the States most of my life, and am now in the Orlando area. If you're ever here, look me up. Ann |
| 23rd February 2009 Ruby | D.A. Carnival - From: Dominica Carnival! Just thought I'd say that your comments are rather negative. It sounds like you were both forced to attend the carnival. Dominicans listen to a variety of music and not just "Dominican music". Reggae is widely played and well as pop...they just love Celine Dion! Only at carnival time is Domincan music promoted due to the calypso shows where a Tent King is eventually crowned. You would have recognised the significance of this if you had attended any one of the calypso shows! All that said, I'm glad you both enjoyed yourselves. You should try the Creole Festival held in October for more fun. Though only go if you can keep up with the Dominicans! |
| 23rd February 2009 Valerie | Well done guys! - From: Mango Lodge - finished for now... With views and rooms like that, do you realise how many guests are going to invite themselves now? Well done - you've done a splendid job..... we'll see it one day hopefully :) x x |
| 22nd February 2009 fiona | nice views - From: Middleham Falls i love the relaxing scenery! must be wonderful to be so close to a waterfall cheers! (http://hongkonger.today.com) |
| 22nd January 2009 Greg & Lani | - From: Christmas and New Year in Dominica We are enjoying reading of your Dominican adventures. We are staying in Calabishie, and plan on hiking to the Chaudiere Pool tomorrow...hopefully the river won't be at "high tide" ! |
| 22nd January 2009 Kate and Andy wandering | Where are we? - From: Making a cup of Dominican coffee We have friends in Calibishie, but we are on the Caribbean coast north of Portsmouth - the village of TOUCARIE (and sometimes Toucari). |
| 19th January 2009 Helen | Dominican coffee... - From: Making a cup of Dominican coffee I grew up on Dominica and remember using a grinder like that many a time. I wouldn't be surprised if it is 100 years old, the one at my aunt and uncle's house in Antrim Valley looked exactly like that and had been in use since the late 20's. Do you live over near Calibishie? I used to love going to Red Rocks when I was a kid. |
| 1st December 2008 Valerie & Craig | Soooooooooo tempting - From: What can you do in 3 weeks in Dominica Once again I salute you two!! You're always such an inspiration in all you get up to. Watch this space while we juggle all the options to see if we MAY head in that direction in 2009! |
| 1st December 2008 Tim | So that's where you are! - From: What can you do in 3 weeks in Dominica Finally found you! Hope all is well. We are fine here in Italy and often think about you. (The photos help!) Kevin still takes the sand and water thingy on holiday with him. Do let us know what you are doing once evry now and then. Good luck The Italian O'Donnells Tim, Laura, Kevin and Emily |
| 27th November 2008 Trevor Overall | More Holidays - From: What can you do in 3 weeks in Dominica Hi Kate & Andy, More adventures for you two huh? Looks like you have an interesting project this time! Keep well Trevor, Tomie & Henry XX |
| 1st March 2007 Linda and Glen (and Scott) | Wonderful! - From: Into the Valley of Death We are all really enjoying your blog, I (Linda) feel like I am revisiting places I haven't seen since the early 80s. The photos are spectacular, keep them coming! |
| 6th February 2007 Trevor | Ahoy the globetrotters! - From: All the leaves are brown... and the bike was PINK! Hey you two, you surprised us with this! Sorry we did not meet up in November, many trials and tribulations with my work. Anyway, you have a fab time - what about getting a Harley out for a few days? We had friends that cruised up the coastline from Los Angeles they said it was amazing!! Tomie and I will check in again so keep the blog up to date. :¬> Trevor & Tomie |
