When you are 11 going on 12 and live in the Caribbean you have to make your own entertainment as there is literally nothing to do!
I guess you can make swings out of old bits of rope.
Or make do with balancing on old bits of wood (while pretending I am gymnast).
I suppose I can go swimming or dig in the sand.
I mean it’s a hard life when there is nothing to entertain you and you have to make up your own games!
Sometime when I am swimming I might spot interesting things like a squid or a ray and that can be a bit of a distraction for a while.
When the weather is nice I can go rock pooling I suppose.
Occasionally, if I have been good, I might get a treat! I might get to play with a paddle board or have my hair braided or even get treated to a milkshake.
But on the whole I to have to make my own entertainment!
I suppose I am just about coping though… It’s a tough life but a girl has to do what a girl has to do.
