    I had loads of dumpling and butter, especially when it rains. You all know when it rains in Jamaica, it goes on for days non stop.

    lol, your cartwheel comment made me buss out laugh at my desk lol.

    we hated some of the things we went through as kids but now looking back, it was good for us. i was probably eating more healthily back then than now. all those fruit and veg you could pick in your backyard or your neighbours lol and never go hungry. it might not have been what you wanted at the time, but it had its benefits. now everyone going on about 5 a day, we were eating about 10 a day back then lol.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING !

    It's work as normal here in the UK
