These are new pages to catalogue Nigel's "Updates" on life in Trindad - much appreciated by those of us far from home... They are a wonderful mixture of reportage and personal observation and I am really sorry I lost so many of them in a stupid software glitch last year!

I had saved the whole lot, right from the beginning of the Pointe-a-Pierre web site, so if anyone has any of those old ones and would like to email them to me, I'd be really happy! The ones below begin in 2001.

Nigel's own web site (from where these pages are taken) is @: http://www.papmemories.net/

Hi All, Just to let you know that we moved are in to Haleland Park, and the workmen finally out. Seeing Christine Denton (Coombs) and her husband who are presently in Tobago on holiday, Friday coming....they will spend a few days with us and we plan a get-together on Sunday.

The Crosswinds site is down.....arrrrrrrgh!....trying to find out from Crosswinds what on earth happened....can't believe that I am innocent and have to load the whole durned thing all over again....will keep you advised.

Gotta go and sweep.....sweep and drill (more dust)....sweep and drill.....that the routine for now. See you all soon as soon as things settle down.....downloading e-mails twice per day.

Regards Nigel.
