On November 3rd of each year the Nature Island celebrates independence from the British. This year is year 33 and hopefully after 33 years of independence things are better than they used to be.
I read this great article by Ayeola George called “If I were in Dominica for Independence 2011″ that I thought I would share – you can click here to read it.
I haven’t had the pleasure of being in Dominica yet at this time of the year and until my youngest isn’t in school I guess it is not going to happen but it is only another 4 years to wait before I can be at my first and as my birthday is a couple of days later it will be a great way to celebrate. By then I will be close to 50… what a thought 
There is music, food, dance, good company and plenty of people around – all the things that Dominica do so very well.
I need to get myself back there in 2012! The video below isn’t from independence celebrations but from when I was at the literary festival in 2010…. just remembering….
