Every Good Friday in Bermuda is Kite Day! Many make traditional wood and paper kites with long white tails. Any also just buy kites. It was a perfect windy day for flying and many were out enjoying it!

We were invited to a party at a friend’s house who has amazing views from the back of the house. And they’re even nicer at sunset. Thanks Felix, and Happy Birthday!

We spent New Year’s Day having champagne on the beach, a lovely Bermuda tradition!

Cheers!

Our decorations and laser dots on the house.

Of course a kitty under the tree. 🙂

And a nice dinner at Blu!

It’s Covid, so no travel, but we are having a great Staycation!

Going for an outing and some hiking at Blue Hole Park

Another great day hiking at Hog Bay Park!

Such a beautiful day for it too! That first image is the background of my blog. 🙂

It’s Covid, so no vacation away, but we decided to do a staycation instead, at the Southampton Princess! It’s kind-of nice because you’re still away from home, in a beautiful place, but you don’t have to worry about flights, airports and car rentals. They had the lobby decorated out for Christmas too!

We enjoyed a day at the spa, with a lovely pool area to relax at afterward. Clearly the perfect time for a crazy shocked smudged make-up selfie! 🙂

Some nice relaxation and lunch at the hotel’s beach.

The other great hang-out spot was at the outdoor pool, though it wasn’t exactly warm. We stayed on the chairs. Some local ducks decided to swim though!

We got a significant storm this year – Humberto came around as a Category 3 storm.

We went out before the storm to see the massive storm surge and winds already picking up.

Preparing my place for the storm. I brought in outdoor items like the scooter, BBQ and trash bin, and tied down the shed as best as I could, twisting the ropes tight with rebar. I even put a large brick on top! Last year the shed opened and fell over! So I didn’t want that happening again.

Of coure during the storm, the power always goes. Here’s my little candle-lit dinner, and creative way of warming my morning coffee! 🙂

And after the storm, checking out the aftermath. Not too bad. After taking the bar off the shed, it survived quite well. The fence definitely did not, and Lance and Princess are happily exploring the outcome! You can also see the fallen power lines. Always happens, seemingly!

All in all, really not too bad. Just a matter of waiting for internet and power to be restored. Whew!

Aah, September, my favourite month in Bermuda. We took a nice outing to Dockyard, and did a nice walk around.

Just getting there was already interesting.

The main event was at Victoria park. So vibrant, fun and colourful, with speakers and singers. We got a picture with the Deloitte folks!

We even got gold tatoos!

We walked in the parade after. Wow, soooo many people! And Felix was DJ-ing.
