VENDING ON the streets is an old, but growing problem in Jamaica. In most urban and emerging urbanised communities, public spaces, especially sidewalks, are littered with vendors.
The problem is so acute that several parish councils are moving to curtail its growth. Apart from the aesthetics, sidewalk vending is a menace, hindering both pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow.
On any given day, city streets and towns are cluttered with vendors trying to take advantage of the large consumerist appetite of the Jamaican public.
But many are not selling on the streets for the sheer love of being there. For several, there is nothing else to do. Employment opportunities are scarce, and with the high price of food, there is a need, others say, to supplement the income of their households.
This specific local vendor sat and made me a necklace from the tiniest of seed beads making sure everything was just perfect for me. The cost to me was $2.00 US which was $171.00 Jamaican.
Lee Knight is a kind of beemaster around here. I bought my 'packages' of bees from him. This is his pumpkin/alfalfa honey that he harvested about a week or so ago. Beautiful color. We happened to meet up at Thanksgiving Point where there was a Farmer's Market this afternoon/evening

Fortunately the English countryside is still well populated with a variety of sheep to provide an added attraction to the beautiful scenery. Yesterday we stopped to watch a farmer and his collie round up a herd and move them to another field. The sheep dogs are a marvel to watch as they race around at the subtle commands of the farmer to round them up and move them in the desired direction. And the dogs obviously love their work.

In January 1913 Margaret Connery, Margaret Cousins, Mabel Purser, and Barbara Hoskins were given one month's hard labour for smashing windows in Dublin Castle. They were imprisoned in Tullamore. They went on hunger strike until they were recognised as political prisoners. Hoskins suffered heart failure on the sixth day of the strike and was immediately released. Although denied political status, the 'Tullamore Mice', as they were called, were allowed special privileges. Connery and Cousins, who had been imprisoned in both England and Ireland, declared on their release that 'the Irish prison system [was] more humane than the English'.

“Commonly known outside Transylvania as Dracula's Castle, it is marketed as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, who shares his name with Dracula. Stoker's description of Dracula's crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle.” (Wikipedia)
