night time slots, you'll get some good dance music. Back in the UK, flicking through, I find that Radio One (R1) is a favourite with international music. Compared to before, having only one good hour on a Sunday night, I can definitely say that the range for broader audiences has improved. I hear from Steve that Music FM has a nice variety playing jazz, rock, soul and more on certain slots - usually the weekend, with live on-air performances too.
Speaking of Steve, how fab it was to meet my Mauritian team. He always writes some interesting articles and bringing the creole language in too was a genius idea. You may remember the snug and warm
Librairie Le Trèfle run by Amandine.
It is as lovely as he had written
with music playing through the
store at times and a friendly
atmosphere. I would just say that
for all the libraries here, it would be
nice to have comfy seating areas.
Steve also put a lovely statement
to our team: we are all scattered
around the world and bound by
music.
Another long-overdue meeting was
with Awad who has supported us
lots and also writes adventure
pieces. We journeyed up to Roche
Noir beach areas and it was such a
pretty day with the sun shining and
a clear blue sky. It was great to
just explore and enjoy the
sceneries. We also did a small trail,
which was a little underwhelming but
we did spot some old train tracks.
Little fact, Mauritius stopped using
railways in the mid 60s due to the
lack of profitably from the
systems.
Our creative girl Ashna has also
been by my side a lot, she is like a
sister to me and it's so great to
see her after all these years. Her artwork is beyond amazing and she did some pretty nail art designs for me.
