  • Interview with an elderly Bequian, Marjorie Ollivierre, 97 (December 2022). She talks about Christmas past in Bequia, and my grandmother.
    Sadly, Marjorie passed away in November 2023. I’m fortunate to have spoken to her many times over the years, and to have experienced such a joyous lady. May she rest in peace.

    Lovely grandma! I hope she's still around. Sharp as a tac! She reminds me of the days I used to sit listening to my mum reminisce on growing up in St. Vincent in the 40s and 50s. God bless this grandma abundantly ❤
