well here is the next part you have all been waiting for. If you havent need to read the first one first..

I was contemplating on going to get ready in about half hr, just want to soak up the sun for while longer listening to the reggaie cd i had put on the cd player blasting out. Hope the neighbours didnt mind!!!! Cds were left for me by a friend so it was the first time i had listened to them.

oswald came to let me know that frostychic was on the phone, i didnt even here it ring.. Lol

Nice talking to you frostychic.. She was calling to check that everything was ok. Gave a rundown of the TV, and other equipment that we may want to use. And other info. Very informative.

After our conversation thought better go and get ready as only an hour before moodie and his family arrive. Didnt have to worry about the cooking, cause millie was doing it. The smell from the kitchen made you feel so hungry.

Well we went and got ready put our best clothes on and looked good. Felt good too. Now we were ready. Had about 10 mins to go.

Dont know why but for a split second i felt nervous, maybe because i was hoping everything would go well at dinner. As i wanted it perfect.

Moodie and his family were about 20 mins later than planned which is unusual but he had been working. So i will let him off. The dinner was ok and not ruined.

Then oswald said we could sit for dinner. We had a drink before we sat down at the table which was laid out perfectly.

The food. Lots of it. This is what we had which i had got ideas from froatychic web page. Red snapper in millies special sauce which is so yummmy. We all loved it. All of us had this. There was oxtail and gary and moodie had this which they said was good, they kept eating more of it so it must have been. There was fried chicken too which was good. Plus vegetables, rice and beans, callaloo, cant remmeber the other names of veg. It was all so good and i felt stuffed. Millie is a great cook.

After this there was cheesecake homemade which was good too. Moodie passed on this, which i knew he would and i had asked millie the day before if she could make some small cakes/buns as i know moodie and his son like these. He loved them and took the extra ones home, think he took 7 home.

Before we left the table, you may think i am sad but i gave moodie and his family a xmas cracker each. I know its easter not christmas. They had not seen one before and did not know what to do. They loved the gifts inside and all wanted the gift to themselves..LoL it was funny

After dinner the men watched TV. I played trading card game with moodies son and wife and showed them how to play it properly. Moodies son picks up things quick and soon was beating me. The first time moodie played against us he won. He is so jammy.Lol

The men played dominoes. we chatted, laughed and had real fun.

Moodie liked the food so much he wants to take people there for dinner.

When they left we went to bed after a really great evening that all went to plan.

Moodie picked us up the next morning and we went back to RDCC. The end of our stay there. But we will be back.

If you get the opportunity to stay here for the day and night do it is great.

If there is anything i have forgoten to say i will let you know. Hope you all enjoy the 2nd part and end to my stay at carousel villa

I thought everyone knew what christmas crackers were. Moodie, his wife and son were so thrilled by them I am so glad i took them with me.

When we have friends around at christmas time we have crackers and i wanted to do the same for our jamaican friends, try to recreate it some how.
