In terms of ranking the Friday night fetes worked out overall as the best experience, with Road March second and J'ouvert taking bronze. Every week a group of us would fete at Mas Camp until after 2am and having a whale of a time. Occasionally we'd be joined by two or three other lymerz and just have even more fun, at times going to Island Grill for an early breakfast (or truth be told just to continue the lyme, on one occasion we even hung around looking at a car as the excuse to lyme :-D )
Road March was great pure and simple. Met up with my friends who were playing mas in the morning, then lymed with some other people roun the corner, then went back on the road and jumped for most of the route :-D Yes indeed Mummy Mel came prepared with her bag of goodies (chicken sandwiches galore and tropicana fruit drinks). Afterwards I met up with more friends on the road then planned an ice cream lyme (which went seriously over my estimated cut off time). Will do my best to play mas properly next year.
Joker's Jouvert fell down on a couple of counts but was still overall enjoyable
- Machel Montano whom I specifically went to see had performed almost exactly the same set at one of the Mas Camp fetes only a few weeks previously. But of course how often do I get to see Machel perform :-D My condolences to the poor foolish woman who thought she was prepared to dance with him on stage.
- I didn't have a Screaming Orgasm. This was a blend of various rum creams with condensed milk served with crushed ice that I had last year. The bar this year only had some rum cream liquore or Wray and Nephew rum cream, so my hopes were dashed. I'm a Sangster's and Bailey's girl.
- Silly kids started a silly fight
I definitely enjoyed myself this Carnival season , looking forward to an even better one next year.
