A Beach Villa - A Beach Villa in Montego Bay, Jamaica

Wish you were here? You could be...

I have an enquiring mind, I suppose it helps to have one if you spend, as I do, most of your waking hours rummaging through the Internet search engines. I come across many puzzling and unusual things.

A Beach Villa. If I had a beach Villa in Jamaica, what would I call it? Dunroamin? Dunworkin? Maybe, maybe not. There is such a place called A Beach Villa, it is a magnificent place in Montego Bay, A Beach Villa has a great infinity edge swimming pool that makes it look as if you were swimming in the Caribbean sea and not a very posh villa's pool. Take a look at this place, it really is beautiful and then let me know what name you would have given to it. http://www.beachvillajamaica.com/

Uncle Ian wonders if you ever have? Been here, that is.

My auntie has a holiday cottage in Dorset. It’s a nice little place Shitterton.

I am often seized with inspiration whilst gazing out of the window (searching for inspiration!) and today was no different. I was meandering through http://www.myluxuryvillas.com a sister site to Jamaican Treasures, the best villa rentals company in the Caribbean, as you know already. Anyway, whilst perusing the My Luxury Villas website I came across this amazing place called Cannon Cottage, which is at Silver sands in Jamaica. Cannon Cottage? What a strange name for a villa in Jamaica, or so I thought.

Fancy a dip?

Cannon Cottage gets its name from the couple of old cannons that still decorate the grounds. Give Cannon Cottage its due, the views are extraordinary and the beach is golden with fine grained sand. The swimming and snorkeling off the beach at Cannon Cottage is magnificent and if peace and quiet is what you crave, then you have it here in this luxury Jamaica villa.

The bedrooms at Cannon Cottage

Cannon Cottage is beautifully decorated, the bedrooms and villa are done in shades of blue, green, yellow and it is very pleasant on the eye. The staff at Jamaican Treasures loves this place and it is definitely one of the top 5 villas with them.

This villa is a must for anyone wanting to hold a wedding reception, honeymoon or family holiday in Jamaica. Go take a look from their very own Cannon Cottage website http://www.cannoncottagejamaica.com/

Carlsburg Cinema Advert

"Is anyone sitting there?"

Take a look at this fantastic stunt by Carlsburg Beer. They got 128 mean looking dudes, Bikers, Yardies, Skinheads etc and sat them in a cinema with just two seats left for unsuspecting film goers to take. It's a real gas.

MEN VS WOMEN - Church cook-off - Food - Jamaica Gleaner - Thursday | December 1, 2011

MEN VS WOMEN - Church cook-off - Food - Jamaica Gleaner - Thursday December 1, 2011

Reverend Joseph regretted booking a wedding the same day as the Cook-off!

The St Andrew Church of Christ annual cook-off - men vs. women. It’s very nice to see that Jamaican men and woman are just as daft and competitive as everyone else. It sounds like war in the church hall, pots of jam at ten paces and see who can cozy up to the vicar to obtain them few extra points. Take a read, it’s a gas.

Kindle for Christmas - Where's my Kindle?

Oh what a joy! Mrs. BlogSpot’s Kindle Book Reader has arrived at last. OK, it has been to more destinations than Alan Whicker, crossed more borders than a very enthusiastic smuggler but it is here at last.
I got a call from UPS in Madrid asking me for exact directions to my house and would I meet the courier at a specified destination to collect the parcel. It was all a bit James Bond but I agreed. In the end, he left the Kindle with Danni, the waiter in Café bar La Plaza in our village.

Mrs. B is now waiting for 2 couch throws from QVC, and has been doing so for a month; needless to say, I have been dispatched to the Post Office on a daily basis to see if they have arrived. Hey ho! Merry Christmas to Parcel Force methinks.
Talking of Christmas, have we seen the bargains available from Jamaican Treasures? there are some villas offering stay for seven, pay for five nights.

Levi Roots wins recipe row - Jamaican food

 

"Actually, old boy, the name is Keith!"

I do like to bring you interesting jamaica stories, no one wants to be thought of as a "one trick Pony" and harp on about the truly fantastic, amazing luxury villas that you can rent from Jamaican Treasures. No! I like to diversify.

Heres a great story from my favourite online newpaper The Jamaican Observer, all about a dude called Levi Roots (actual name is Keith Graham..not a very "Yardie" name!) who has defended a case brought against him by his ex-partner (business partner) from Brixton, London, who claims Keith, or "Roots" ripped off his recipe for some of the Jerk food mix listed in his "Reggae,Reggae Cook Book"

The judge decided in favour of Mr Roots. Read the article, it's very interesting.

Jamaica Villas - Jamaica Restaurant week

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!

Here’s a great video I found whilst looking for a Jerk recipe. The video is for Jamaica Restaurant Week, a choice of some of the finest Jamaica restaurants get to show off their menus. Check out the amazing pizza and the little cutie presenting this little video. Mind you, Stephanie Scott rabbits on a bit but I guess she's just excited.

Theres no excuse for not knowing where to eat when you book one of Jamaican Treasures Villas.

The best places in Jamaica

                                             



Lisa, the lady wot runs  a certain Luxury Villas in Jamaica company, has sent me some great photographs of someone really enjoying themselves and living “la vida loca” or to be more accurate, it’s photographs of Lisa really enjoying herself in Jamaica and sending me the evidence so I can grind my teeth in envy.

Now, there are places off the beaten track that are “must visit” sites, be they some historic building, some site of cultural significance, a great view or, in Lisa’s case, some great bars and restaurants along the sun kissed sandy beaches of Jamaica.

One such place I have already mentioned in another post is the Pelican bar at St. Elizabeth. This Pelican Bar looks like it’s been built by a Flamingo that was crap at DIY or was working without a plan. The whole thing is a pile of sticks that are nailed, screwed, glued or bolted together but it is THE in place to be.

The food is amazing, the company ambient, the decor no-existent, unless you consider a load of knackered signs grouped together to be worthy of the term “art” oh no, Mr. Floyd Forbes, a local fisherman concocted the idea of a bar on stilts, where he and his mates could hang out and it seems to have taken on a life of its own.

It is a real cool place to go. So, go there.

The other photographs sent by Lisa are of Jack Sprat’s place and as you can see from the photos I put together to form the video, the food looks sublime and I bet it tastes even better than it looks. There are also a few photos of some really yummy looking shrimps from Middle Quarters and more pics of Jakes place.

If any of you have ever been to these places, I’d love to see your photographs, so, get sending them to me robbie@myluxuryvillas.com

Kindle for Christmas - Update

My Kindle for Mrs Blogspot still has not arrived, apparently UPS can’t find my house? Fair enough, I live in the middle of nowhere but you would think that they could drop it out of a passing plane or something? Poor Mrs B is getting worried that she will not have her Kindle in time for Christmas.

I got an email from Amazon, they gave me the number of some place in the states, they put me onto someone who spoke like an American who was dying of boredom “yessir, how may we help you sir, do you have the tracking number sir, sorry, we can’t help sir, have a nice day sir, here’s the number of UPS in Spain, sir, goodbye sir”

I have to call someone else in the morning, a Spaniard, and I’ll bet he / she will be another drone “Buenos dias Sñr, no entiendo Sñr, donde vivas Sñr…”
