  • Welcome to the Nature Island of the Caribbean: Dominica. It's wonderful when the name suits the face - Dominica, The Nature Isle!
    Here I am visiting our farm on the north of Dominica for the first time in the New Year 2022. I am always in awe of the abundance of fruits and vegetables from our fertile Caribbean soil.
    Go-Goat our home raised goat is 'kinda' happy to see me - I think I am happier to see him.
    Come with me to take a glimpse of what life is like on our earth friendly island, Dominica as I enjoy picking and eating fruits, chatting with the animals listening to the birds sing, breathing fresh air and more...
