Antigua, my home.


Antigua is a wonderful island.
Truly a world class cricketing nation and one that is struggling with the wide variety of issues that come to the for from development, particularly due to coastal and tourism development.
Sadly with weak legislation enforcement and statuary bodies that are less than inclusive in public consultation, which drives a top down decision making process.

Who losses out, as usual the folks at the bottom of the pecking order, primary education is sadly poor and the drive towards a consumer, celebrity society doe little for people to understand the true long term costs of todays development.

Thankfully some folks are able to use our mistakes for their study, while we welcome them I also hope that their observations can be used to enhance our own understanding and capacity.
