There’s actually a motorcycle club in Barbados, the Tridents MC. However, after seeing their President at the Holetown Festival parade, I suspect they’re not quite as scary and nefarious as the bikers on Sons of Anarchy.

A stroll at Martin’s Bay
We headed down to Martin’s Bay for a walk on the beach after school. As stunning as Barbados’ platinum west coast is, for me you can’t beat the east coast. Dramatic, rugged and so invigorating.
Classic cars in Barbados
There are a surprising number of classic cars in Barbados (quite impressive considering the corrosive sea air and terrible roads), and we went along to one of the regular shows this weekend. There were some beautiful cars on display, from as far back as the 1940s, but I must admit to getting most excited about […]
Reeds Bay afternoon
It’s easy to miss Reeds Bay, but it’s well worth seeking out. It’s on the west coast of Barbados, and it’s never busy – head north past John Moore’s Bar and park up just after the church. You might not be able to rent a sun lounger, but you can probably buy a cold drink. […]
Selling lobster at Bath beach
Bath beach is one of my favourite spots in Barbados, one of the less well-known gems that tends to attracts Bajans rather than tourists. The waves can be big, but the water’s warm and there’s plenty of shade. After we’d had a dip, around 3pm, some fishermen came and displayed the octopus, fish and live […]
Not missing the UK this weekend
Most of the weekend was spent playing and beach combing on the east coast. On Saturday, after swimming lessons on Browne’s Beach, the three of us headed across the island to Bathsheba. I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be than the east coast of Barbados. Then on Sunday we visited Bath beach with friends. […]
Swimming lessons in Barbados
As locations for swimming lessons go, the crystal clear Caribbean water at Browne’s Beach is hard to beat. It’s certainly preferable to the municipal pool back in the UK! Our daughter’s been going to baby swim classes in London since she was six weeks old, but her swimming is really coming along incredibly now she’s […]
Camera gear
Many of my photos were taken on an ageing Nikon D700 – which, no matter what wonderful future technology is to come, I am convinced is the ‘best’ camera I will ever own. The balance, build quality, layout, autofocus, high ISO performance, general image quality… lovely. After ten+ years, it’s still going strong, out-performing many […]
A view of Barbados
Samuel Johnson famously said, “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. OK, not the most original way to start a blog post about fucking-off from London, but it’ll do. In fairness, after many years of living and working in London, I wasn’t tired of life but I was tired of ridiculously […]
