3.05.08 Fool on the hill

Here in Kingston, it’s easy to forget how beautiful the rest of the island is. Today we drove to the centre of the island along impossible windy roads up into the lush mountains. There at the peak of Strawberry Hill, we had a long salubrious lunch at the eponymous hotel. It’s one of those places that feels it has to reiterate how “groovy” it is by mounting pictures of its famous guests. This is always a bit naff and must guarantee the celebs don’t come back. Anyway there’s no need to prove anything, it is lovely; from its spot on the mountain peak, the view is wonderful and the atmosphere is effortlessly cool.
