I love it. Greg and I married on Hastings Beach, just adjacent to Rockley. So beautiful ... Greg laughed when I said I wanted to marry there. "What a cliche," he said. To me it was a dream, as it was to you, marrying the man you love in the paradise that is Barbados. I always appreciate your contributions, Rainy. Thank you for reading, for writing, for sharing who you are and what you feel. I think you express so well the magic that is here and wanting to access that magic in any way possible, including through my writing. From one West Indian to another, in-process :) xox Ahh, you were married on Rockley Beach! I love it. Greg and I married on Hastings Beach, just adjacent to Rockley.

I was married on Rockley Beach Barbados. My grandparents are from the beautiful island of Montserrat. I love the carribbean islands. My grandfather was very proud of his west indian heritage and shared it with us grandkids. What I love most about Barbardos among other things is that it is where I started my life as Mrs. Rainy Hickman-Linsdeau. I married the man I love on that beach. Barbados will forever be special to me. What has kept me reading this blog is that it is like visiting the island each time I see a new post. Learning different things about the island and its people, making me want to visit the island again. Over the past year, you have shared many different things about your life and I have responded. You have become like a distant friend who lives in Barbados and writes about her adventures and new life. I hope you continue to write you blog and share your life with us. Your blog has been a pleasure to read and you are a wonderful person to share with us details of your life. Not to many people would open themselves up to the world and you have. Hi Jane:

I must say I agree with other commentors who say they think of you as a friend - that may sound odd but part of my reason is reading your blog feels like a letter from a friend. You put a lot of of yourself and your feelings into your writing. It has a very open and honest feel. I know I subscribe to your feed and read and enjoy every single post. I look forward to see them in my in box. Thank you for bringing a piece of Barbados to me so often.
