This is what happens when you compost mangoes and papayas and then leave for a few months! Ten mango and 16 papaya trees in that small compost.

It’s hibiscus (Sorel) season starting now on Cayman Brac, it’s a popular Christmas drink in Jamaica. Julie and Dan, our guests, were adventurous enough to pick our Sorel plants and follow the recipe to make this marvelous drink. It was well executed and well received, mostly after adding rum!

Summer!! Warm water and warm outdoor showers, bananas and beginning of the dragon fruit season, pickleball early in the morning, long bike rides in late afternoon, afternoon reading in the shade, in and out of the pool, snorkeling in warm sea water, taco night with mostly the locals and Al fresco dinners on the pool deck, full moon rising and beautiful sunsets. You can’t beat Summers on Cayman Brac!

The Caribbean’s Most Underrated Ecotourism Destinations—And Where To Stay (Forbes,May 28, 2024)

“…those seeking a more remote ecotourism destination (than Grand Cayman) should be sure to book a trip to neighboring Cayman Brac.

Roughly 150 kilometers east of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac is far less developed than its neighbor, providing an opportunity for wildlife to thrive. In the heart of the island, Brac Parrot Reserve acts as a crucial refuge for both native plantlife and all sorts of colorful birds. The site is best known for its high concentration of Cayman Brac parrots, while additional resident species span from the yellow-faced grassquit to the smooth-billed ani to the Caribbean elaenia.”

And we complete this article by mentioning:

Just south of the preserve Bliss Beach House offers very private accommodations that serve as the perfect base for exploring the island. You will probably see more Cayman Brac Parrots at Bliss than at the reserve and every night before sun down you will see the brown bo***es returning home. It’s a great happy hour activity!

These idyllic North American islands are home to high-end resorts and a fascinating array of native flora and fauna.

The Bliss Garden keeps giving: key limes, lots of papayas, coconut and mint, blueberries are from Kirkconnell Supermarket but we now have Barbados cherries. The background is all Bliss Beach House!

In addition to building a garage/green house, we are finally replacing this “beautiful” gardening bench (first photo) with 8 new ones! Don has been very busy! We also have been propagating many plants and fruit trees for the Cayman Islands National Trust Fundraiser Plant Sale (on February 24) and also for a new sitting area in the garden by the bluff. It will be a very serene spot to have coffee and watch the birds in the morning! Sometimes, the ocean is just too loud 😉

Fantastic 6km morning walk from Bliss to the end of our road and back. At the end of the road there’s the Great Cave on the left and the Columbus Heritage oceanfront hiking trail on the right. Only saw 2 cyclists, 2 runners, 4 walkers, 2 cars and many chickens. After your walk, reward yourself by picking fruits for your breakfast in the Bliss garden and with a little effort, some fresh coconut water. This morning, banana, coolie plum and pomegranate but papaya and passion fruit “soon come”.

Did you know that the Cayman Brac Airport is the second smallest international airport in the world?

“The A-Z Animals website included Charles Kirkconnell International Airport in Cayman Brac in its list of ‘The 10 smallest airports in the world, ranked‘.

It came in at number two, just behind Juancho e Yrausquin Airport on Saba Island, a special municipality of the Netherlands, also in the Caribbean.

“Charles Kirkconnell International Airport in the Cayman Islands offers an incredible view and a quaint interior,” it read.

“Don’t worry about arriving two hours before your flight; there are only four flights per day on average, so there’s never a crowd.

“If you do arrive early, there’s WIFI and a restaurant to keep you entertained. CYB’s single runway is a little over 6,000 feet long.”

The Travel website included the Cayman Islands in its list of ‘10 beautiful Caribbean islands for retirement‘.

“The Cayman Islands… offers everything retirees would need to enjoy a perfect life, including a favourable financial environment, a robust healthcare system, and a booming economy.””

They have been visiting our almond tree these last few days!

On the third day of Christmas, Cayman gave to me: three Cayman Brac green parrots.
