winter

There is no real winter in the Caribbean. At least not in the way the Northern countries experience winter; the snow, the rain, the storms, the short days and the hot chocolate, the cashmere sweaters and the cozy evening by the fire place. But today, there is a winter-esk feel to the weather here. It is cloudy, rainy and dark. I have my coffee to keep me warm and with our neighborhoods putting up their Holiday lights already I can feel the season starting off.

morning swim

Why not go for a morning swim? Especially if you live on an island or near the ocean - even if you have a pool in the garden. This morning we woke up a tiny bit earlier to go for a swim at 6.30am. First an espresso, then the swimsuit, a short drive to the beach house and then that invigorating dive into the water.

A perfect start to a day.
