Trini Christmas in Surrey, in November.....

  • Parang and Soca and an inter-generational winin' contest
  • Garlic Pork
  • ONE Set Ah Trinis (which, as we all know, is different from AH set ah Trinis)
  • All Fours Tournament with much bawling and accusation
  • Beautiful Trini Children everywhere dancing and riding bikes THROUGH the melee. Trini Children are really the most beautiful!
  • Fudge
  • Rum
  • Food like peas
  • Presents!
  • Some English Spouses And Friends
  • Heating On HIGH
  • HAIL the following morning. The boys ran out and brought some inside, where it melted and made little puddles
  • Coming home, tired, to a messy house, is A-OK
  • And now, it's turned COLD. Proper thermal undies weather
  • I'll work up a sweat washing out garlic pork jars and fudge pots that have been sitting there since the Saturday morning rush, and hanging up Christmas cards on a ribbon. NOW I feel Christmassy! What radio station is online and has parang? One hundred? Please advise.

Google parang radio station and you get "Caribbean Free Radio" # 39- A Taste of Parang. No kidding! Your party sounds like great fun and Christmas is still to come!

If there is one thing that brings me back - and close to the Islands - it's the music. I am now listening to Caribbean Free Radio. Cool.
