After a late night dancing until dawn at the Mustique summer party some members of the Mustique community decided to salute the sun in a slightly different way. Dr Michael prescribed a healthy dose of yoga and a delicious breakfast down at Lagoon beach to cure the hungover.

LICHFIELD RETAKE

Patrick Lichfield took a fabulous shot of the island's children more than 20 years ago.  During the 50th Anniversary celebrations we thought it would be fun to reenact this photo with the next generation.

ALL GO - BIG 50

ALL GO - BIG 50

It certainly is All Go with only a couple of days before the Big 50th celebration.  The tents are going up all the way along Britannia Bay, the rain keeps coming and going so the island is beautifully green and flowers abound, and luckily the sun shines in between.

SPLASH OF GOLD

Just 6 days to go until the big Mustique 50th celebration party.  'A Splash of Gold' is the dress code, and we have yet to finish making our costumes!
GALA GREENS

GALA GREENS

16 days to the 50th Celebration of Mustique and I'm 'Farm Girl Thursday' again. This means taking the early morning flight off-island to St. Vincent (6 minutes), and a ten minute drive up into the hills to 'Spring Valley Farm' - Paradise on Earth!  We have important work today as we are supplying the Arugula for the Gala Dinner.
