Oyster soup...

So last night was a full-moon, and I spent the evening on the beach, sharing a bottle of wine and enjoying the culinary delights courtesy of Yvonne. Full moons represent new beginnings, new journeys which I think is very apt considering in a few days I will be beginning my life back in London again. I also took the opportunity to have a few private words with the sea (yes I do talk to the sea, slightly crazy you may say, but she is a good listener), so I hope she took my questions and requests on board! 

One thing that I really wanted to do here was to meet and hang out with actual locals, as it seems all to easy to live here and only get to meet ex-pats and holiday makers. However last night I had the opportunity. Armed with a glass of red wine, Yvonne and I made our way down the beach to gatecrash a bonfire party and eat a local delicacy called Oyster Soup, drink a few (too many) cognac cocktails - caribbean strength and meet some really cool guys. Of course this morning greeted me with a case of dehydration, predictably! But I can safely say that that was one of the best nights that I have had since I've been here! 

So I'm aware that there hasn't been any photographic evidence that I was actually here. Anyone who knows me understands that I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it, so if anyone manages to capture a photo of me they should consider themselves very lucky (or unlucky depending on which way you look at it). However one unlucky blighter stole a cheeky photo of me the other night whilst I was enjoying expresso martinis with a couple of friends at the bar, and it ended up in the local paper. Of course I can't remember this photo being taken, but before you pass judgements, this does not mean I was too drunk. It has more to do with my incredibly bad memory. Well that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it..

I'd like to add that despite the caption at the bottom of the photo (cute couples), none of us are in fact 'a couple', it's amazing what people assume!

Yesterday I spent the day editing my first ever 1 minute-film. OK, so it's not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, but it was good to learn the editing process and to see where I went wrong, and what I could improve. I'll upload this 'behind the scenes' film in the next few weeks so we can watch and laugh together...

Anyway, bye bye for now!
