Do you even know where to find the fridge?
That's a very good point Ma'am.

I'm told it's in a place called 'The Kitchen'. Does that ring a bell with you?

Unforunately, everybody's out so I'll have to explore the house to try and find it.

The trouble is that last time I did that I couldn't find my way back . . .:confused:

Surely, the Butler could call the serving maid to let Cook know that you require a little snack?

St Barts?
A virtual beer for the captain.

A quick look in the shops earlier today and Mrs M spotted a very attractive simple short skirt made of Liberty fabric. There was also a very nice sun dress. Skirt just over £200 sundress between £400 and £500. Typical prices….

As I write this, I’m being passed by a tender with underwater lighting, music, blaring, and the tender appears to be longer and bigger than our little ocean-going yacht.

We’ve developed two new acronyms for our private use. GUT and MUT. GUT equals Girl Up Themselves. MUT equals… you work it out. Lots of examples flouncing about and thinking they look great in cafés and restaurants. Not a unique phenomena to this harbour but it’s mildly amusing.

I guess it creates employment?

I’ve no complaints. Superyacht deckies provide me with a supplement to my pension as they’re one of the main customers for Yachtmaster Offshore & Exams. Hopefully they them come back into the system for their Yacht Master Ocean ticket.
es “yachting “ is in it way must be quite an employer but Iwas referring to work created for the island people throughout the Caribbean.Here in the rias since 1982 when I came it’s grown enormously .There was one yacht in Cangas now there is a marina and this is the same in all the rias.

That’s true. St Bart’s is a good example of an island that reinvented itself purely as an attractive tourist place and playground for the rich and famous. Apparently it’s de rigeur for major fashion brands to have London, Paris, Saint Barts et cetera on their list on their bags and shopfronts.

It probably helped that the Rothschilds built a house here before the rich and famous thing really took off.
