This week we started our WWLOR Book Circle with a group of women from all over the world. Our first meeting was full of lively discussion. We all agreed that reading is like travel for the soul so I thought I would just refresh your memory with some great island reads (some of them from […] The post first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

I know many of you are planning your Spring Break trips to the islands. Lucky you – the islands have missed you all!! It’s always so fun getting ready for a beach vacation. We have some great products that have been rock tested listed on the website but I thought I would just throw a […] The post Calling All Spring Breakers! first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

So you’ve just returned to your island after a busy, bustling, beautiful vacation abroad. As you unpack your 500 suitcases of goodies (and your 8 weeks’ worth of dirty laundry even though you were only away for 10 days ) you reminisce over the good times that were had with family and friends.  And the […] The post Post Vacation Blues first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time… If once you have slept on an island You’ll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home […] The post If Once You Have Slept on An Island first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

RATS… I think every rock has ‘em and if you don’t count yourself lucky!! I can’t stand them – from their beady little eyes to their gelatinous tail – yuck!! On my rock, you see them wandering around from time to time but as my husband would say in his English accent “They keep themselves […] The post There’s a Rat in Mi Kitchen, what am I gonna do? first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category.  For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year ago I have the pleasure […] The post Link Up Local first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

So, my husband and I have just relocated from the “big” island of 60,000 people back to one of the smaller “sister” islands with a population of 2,000 people. We left here 20 years ago after the birth of our first child. The return has definitely felt like a homecoming. Happily, not much has changed […] The post Return to a Small Island first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

My life in the Dominican Republic had a major change in March 2020.  My husband and love of my life passed away.  I was also extremely ill with a Lupus flare and COVID at the time he died.  I was in hospital and wasn’t with him.  Doctors were trying their best to save me and […] The post The Story of Rose – The Little Dog That Could first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

This year I’ll be celebrating my 11th Christmas on this beautiful island and my main goal for this holiday season is to make the perfect sand-snowman. I can assure you that this is a task far more difficult than Pinterest or Instagram would have you believe. Last year’s attempt involved; five sun kissed children, four […] The post Sunkissed Christmas first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more

It’s quiet out. And dark. The colourful street lights are up in each of the four villages of Saba, Chris Rea’s Driving Home for Christmas is playing, the tree is up, half hiding the presents underneath and the house smells of home-made cooking. It’s Christmas time (Cue: Band Aid). Time for thick woolen socks and […] The post Christmas on Saba first appeared on Women Who Live On Rocks ..read more
