Haha Mark! You know that I am not young or fit enough for that!!

Tomk - I don't try to compost palm leaves - they are too woody - I just use the banana leaves and pstems - in fact all their trimmings, but because some of them are so tall, I had to get Antonio to do it for me. Some of the tall plants like Saba, Orinoco, Blue Java, Tall Red ( and now 1000 fingers and some of my mystery ladyfinger types) are so big that someone needs to stand on tiptoe on the top of the tallest ladder we have to trim them (and it's not me - I get too wobbley)

Bepah and Scuba_Dave - sad to say that after a while coco-locos and drinks with umbrellas become old hat! But Jim makes the best Margaritas on the island - with our own lemons. Surprisingly lemons are never seen here commercially, while limes are everywhere! Who knows why.

OK Dalmatiansoap - I will tell you when it is launched!
