The crossroad in Dalvey, St Thomas

In the Parish of St Thomas is a small village called Dalvey. It is surrounded by sugar fields and on clear days you can see the Blue Mountains. If you climb to the highest point in Dalvey you can see the Caribbean Sea on two sides of the island. There are no tourists so very soon everyone knows you. I am not too good at remembering names but "Mornin" or "Evenin" or a simple "Alright?" is good enough to get by.

There are a couple of small crossroads. Recently on one of the crossroads a little stall (small shop) was created by one of the locals called Paps and it soon became a local hang-out place. It is near a pipe (tap) where the locals collect water.

In the late afternoon you can find lots of sporty young guys playing football on the football field behind the school.

Demus, D and Tommy, who all work at the restaurant, all come from Dalvey and I have had so much fun hanging out with them and their families. I found it interesting that I met several older people who had lived over 40 years in the UK and decided to return to their home town.

Most of my pictures are taken in and around Dalvey and "Paps" stall. I hope you enjoy them.
