Call me crazy but I just love the simplicity of life places like this wine yard / restaurant with the little buildings just relaxes me . Thanks a lot for showing the land of my birth my biggest dream and intentions is to come back home to live out my days I will never give up on my beautiful little island no matter what

[@mdl9096]

It must have been hard to leave that beautiful home where you grew up. I got emotional just seeing you looking at the space which holds your best memories and where you were happiest. Jamaica is also the place where I grew up and where I felt the happiest in my entire life, even though I have lived in Canada and the United States for close to 40 years. I am hoping to move back to Jamaica in a few months.

Wow! What an emotional journey. It took me back to my own adventures in Fern Gully. I enjoyed the visit to your ancestral home. it was very moving for me as well as I recall driving up that driveway as a young boy. I could almost hear Toots and the Maytals belting out the song, "Country road take me home to the place I belong....you remind me of my home far away And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I sure did Oh yesterday, yesterday All my memories, oh, gathered 'round her"

I know the feeling as whenever I visit two former homes where I grew up in Jamaica I get lost and teary eyed as my mind wander back to my good old days. I would love to move back but I've left so long ago that relating and re-adjusting seem like an impossible task. Nonetheless, I'm happy for you. Bless

Wow, Melanie, what an idyllic place to grow up and raise your kids! I could move there right now. That is, to me, the most beautiful kind of place to live! I love living high, with a view, and that view around there is gorgeous! My grandfather's family lived in St. Ann's Bay, on Royes Street, a lovely old house that was run down the last time I saw it with my 3 elderly grand-aunts living in it. This was a beautiful trip. Thank you. I can't believe how Ochie build-up! Lawks. I will never recognize the place, and it would take me a few days of being there before I'd be comfortable driving on the left again! I see why a week back you said you were ready to go back. If only we never had to leave... though you stayed way longer than me!
