Issue 09 sees us welcome the beginning of another tourism season on Anguilla. Hotels and villas reopen, many with a fresh coat of paint, others yet still with even more extensive facelifts.
We are also starting a new season, with the beginning of our third year of publication and, like them, we’ve applied a new coat of paint here and there.
On the subject of paint, our cover image featuring model Nicole Morson sporting body paint of the flags of French and Dutch St. Martin as well as that of Anguilla. The image speaks to the connectedness of the two islands. Nicole, herself, was born in St. Martin, but now resides in Anguilla, reflecting the experience of many others, in either direction.
This issue celebrates and pays tribute to the shared histories of the two islands. We take the short, twenty minute jaunt across the Channel where we go looking for stories of people and places, with a bit of history thrown in.
As always, do enjoy.
