• “Christmas Day was a wild storm—we had a 24 hour power outage in my neighbourhood... The next day, the power returned, but the water did not... Turns out the pump was ancient... Now, it’s all shiny and new, and I’m told it will be up and running when I return.” — The Islands Grapevine – January 4th, 2024 (January 4th, 2024)
