We did the food – fruit skewers, bagels/Philadelphia/smoked trout (a la The Williams) and the bar did hotdogs for the kids & drinks (fruit punch 
with or without rum). We also had an exceptionally lurid cake, a Caribbean speciality, which meant that all the kids had blue-stained mouths and fingers.

Although we’ve always enjoyed all the kids parties before – this one by far wins hands down for Party Holder Satisfaction, because I can honestly say I wasn’t stressed for a single second. That has got to be a first for me. Needless to say I did have a few fruit punches...
On Sunday we went exploring in T's new (old) Nissan Pathfinder. We trundled down some serious roads and eventually ended up in Rogues's Bay, which was a scene out of Robinson Crusoe - white beaches, palms, crystal sea, completely deserted. All of us went out for a snorkel along the lava flow (see above) even little William on Tyler's back. Here is a video to give you a taste of our Sunday's - hope you can see it. The rest of the week has been so quiet in that I went to work for 5 mornings, the boys went to school, Tyler went shopping and nothing dramatic happened.
It is however half term this week and we are all looking forward to it. The last two months have been pretty intense, to put it mildly – and although we do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time flopping around and relaxing, there are some stress cracks appearing in all of us, as the enormity of the move sinks in.
We're thinking of getting "off-island" as they say, as Friday is a public holiday (the BVI appears to have even more than SA) and going somewhere else - such as , urrr, another island. We were looking at places to stay tonight, and I kept saying to T "I'm not paying $300 for something that looks like our bedroom...".
wow! Looks fantastic!
