James had a great first day at private school on Thursday, he looked super smart in his new uniform and handsome with his Caribbean hair cut. Both James and Poppy think their new school is very nice.

They think the 2 minute walk to school is manageable!

Culture Shock 1

This our lovely School Dentist Dr Alice. Yep School Dentist! She is here everyday in the room next to my office which is kitted out as a dental surgery and the kids trot by regularly to see her for their appointments. The kids here have enviably nice teeth as a result.

It also leads to the situation where 8 year olds knock on my door in their lunch hour and say, “can I see Alice I have tooth ache” or “I have loose tooth can Alice pull it out?”… No anxiety about dentist visits at Prospect the kids are making their own appointments! Brilliant.

You know you have arrived in the Caribbean when your caretaker (the lovely Mr Connely) brings you a bag of star fruit from his garden to make juice with! Lovely!
