Shameless plugging of my best friend's immensely smart child!
Start 'em young, I say. Or is it, "train up a child..."? :-)

A running account of a Jamaican-American's move to Cork, Ireland in a desperate bid to inject some fun and adventure into her life. Bring on the craic!
Who Am I
- Sirmelja
- Cork, Ireland
- I'm a voiceover artist and psychologist on a voyage of self-discovery. Needing a shot of something new in my life, off I went to Ireland! This blog is my way of keeping friends and family up to date, and giving myself a place to talk out loud. If anybody else wants to read it, they're welcome to as well. I can't guarantee it's (always) going to be fascinating, erudite, consistently updated, or even vaguely intellectual. Enjoy!

Hi, you Jamaican-American! Don't you miss good old JA? I used to live there in the 80th, and I worked for the JA. government for 20 years. I was very happy to move here some 12 years ago, but I still have the blues for my island,Kingston to be precise. And I miss the breadfruit that you pictured LOOOOOts, thankfully we can get sweet potatoes here now, and if we are really crafty, plantains. Such advances :) let me know if you want to be in contact.
As I listened to that brilliant child desperately hoping for change for this country... one bible verse comes to mind ".. a little child shall lead them..."
Start 'em young sounds right. :)
Hey Rosi, wow Ireland must have changed quite a bit since you came here. Plantains... I don't know what I would do without them! :-) Drop me a line sometime if you'd like to be in touch.
Anon and Black Girl - true words!
