Hi cooperflykiller, don't suppose you know anything about land prices in Barbados do you? Would love to buy a small plot and heard you can buy for 10k, but this seems a bit cheap to me.

Hi Kjade, I'm born here but my parents are from Antigua and Monserrat.

Plummy my mother brought in Monserrat for about the same so it may be possible (hopefully)!

Hi my DH is mixed afro carb so my DS is 1/4 as i am whie. DS look nothing like me and people have even commented upon this - to look at hin you would think I had nothing to do with him!!!

DH and I occasionally worry about him goin to school is this reasonable????

Poshpaws · 07/05/2006 09:41

Me, Black-British, DH White-British, my heritage Bajan/Guyanese. Have 2 mixed-race DSs.

Bigbaubleeyes, why are you worried about school?

Poshpaws · 07/05/2006 09:42

Forgot to say, live in S.W london/Surrey

plummymummy · 07/05/2006 17:41

oh thanks cataloguequeen - v interesting. Heard Monserrat is beautiful. I love the Caribbean (been to Barbados, Grenada and Cariacou) and would love a holiday home. 10k for land is very reasonable.

Dear Plummy mum!

Property is very very expensive in Barbados but land can still be cheap; traditionally Bajans bought a plot of land and painstakingly, over years built fabulous complicated 'wall houses' (as opposed to wooden!) on them. The trouble with that is that builders and workmen can rip you off terribly and take forever to do the job; you REALLY need to be in the Island to oversee it (or have trustworthy family).

Have a look at this! And this!

Good luck! :)

Thank you cooperflykiller, that's very useful. It makes a lot of sense about overseeing building work etc. I'm going to show dh your link tomorrow when he's got over his hangover

plummymummy · 27/05/2006 23:17

Looked at the links but unfortunately no mention of land on either one.
