The Cricket match

So I aint really into cricket and I don't even know who won. I went to watch the Barbados V Austrailia cricket match in Chiswick yesterday. The weather actually held out and it was a nice day. A fiver to get in but it's cool. As soon as we walked in there was like a sea of black folk so then we 1st had to find my auntie then go find my uncle.

After a bit a searching we found my uncle and all his food and drink, with his family so I put my pretty pink chair down in the circle and looked for drinks :-) Everyone was shocked that I didnt want rum and coke or any other alcohol for that fact, I think i've drunk 2 much in my life time now I just dont like the taste of it. SO i made myself some Virgin cocktails and Sasha did the drinking on my behalf.

There was loads of stalls selling various bajan food I did have to get some fishcakes and pretend I was back in Oistins for a second. Oooh speaking of food can u believe people brought their pots out and everything most people had a hamper full of food and my family were no different. My uncle brought bare food there was curry goat and rice, salad, chicken, fish cakes, hard dough bread basically everything and he had a mini bar 2.

Obviously everyone from Reading was there, as Reading is Barbados lol I think Martin J djed there was supposed to be some Jam Session which never happened and the music was played quite low :-(

I came to realize that everyone knows my mum and my uncle every 10 secs someone was comin over to say hi or shouting them from across the field or little circle seemed to be quite lively to the point where if you moved to go toilet u'd come back to find some next bajan sitting in ur chair and talking loudly.

We baptised Sasha into our family she's offically a bajan now (even tho shes guyanese) lol

It was just a nice day no trouble no stupidness, nice vibe everyone was happy and friendly (probably cuz most of us bajans r related which is why my man is jamaican lol) but yeah I really enjoyed myself and I can't wait to go back next year.
