With Christmas breeze rather than winter chills, and no snow to shovel, spring cleaning in Jamaica is borrowed tongue-in-cheek vocabulary for a little dusting and raking up.
Last week, we dusted off our picnic baskets for Diner en Blanc - Kingston. This past Friday it was a Euphoria pop-up Spa Day at Neita's Nest, and on Sunday afternoon, the Jamaica Regiment Band played strains in multiple musical genres while we lazed on the lawns of the Hope Botanical Gardens.

Soon, it will be another Art Day with one of our premier Jamaican painters, Heather Sutehrland-Wade, where we all bring our implements and get creative in a shared and inspiring space in the St Andrew hills. How simple life can be when we allow it!
Meanwhile, orchid growers island wide are getting their finest blooms ready to transport and transform the show grounds and to leave us all in a trance. I kid you not. Everytime I get home from an orchid show I walk around with this belief that everywhere around me is profuse with orchid blooms! For the next few weeks I am in Orchid Heaven.
Spring is definitely in the air over Jamaica. So many lovely occasions to dress up or dress down for. So many persons planning activities for friends to get together. So much calling for your spontaneity! Come to Kingston and chill out with us.
