Yoga Breakfast
After a late night dancing until dawn at the Mustique summer party some members of the Mustique community decided to salute the sun in a slightly different way. Dr Michael prescribed a healthy dose of yoga and a delicious breakfast down at Lagoon beach to cure the hungover.
Mustique Summer Party
Mustique certainly knows how to deliver a decent party and the 2019 Summer Party was no exception!
LICHFIELD RETAKE
Patrick Lichfield took a fabulous shot of the island's children more than 20 years ago. During the 50th Anniversary celebrations we thought it would be fun to reenact this photo with the next generation.
MUSTIQUE 50th
After dinner Fireworks over Basil's Bar. Quite spectacular and just what we needed to get us up from the dinner table and back down to the bar for a rare treat indeed.
ALL GO - BIG 50
It certainly is All Go with only a couple of days before the Big 50th celebration. The tents are going up all the way along Britannia Bay, the rain keeps coming and going so the island is beautifully green and flowers abound, and luckily the sun shines in between.
SPLASH OF GOLD
Just 6 days to go until the big Mustique 50th celebration party. 'A Splash of Gold' is the dress code, and we have yet to finish making our costumes!
GALA GREENS
16 days to the 50th Celebration of Mustique and I'm 'Farm Girl Thursday' again. This means taking the early morning flight off-island to St. Vincent (6 minutes), and a ten minute drive up into the hills to 'Spring Valley Farm' - Paradise on Earth! We have important work today as we are supplying the Arugula for the Gala Dinner.
COUNT DOWN!
Arriving back on-island is always an excitement but I wasn't expecting such a hive of activity after just 2 1/2 weeks away! What industry there is in every direction. This isn't any ordinary build-up to the summer high season, there is good reason for such hustle and bustle, Mustique is celebrating 50 years of the formation of the Mustique Company! - quite a mouthful!
Philippe Starck
What an exciting moment to be present as Philippe Starck puts in the finishing touches. The island is so quiet that only a handful of us were lucky enough to be around to pop a bottle of champagne and drink to the unofficial launch, or perhaps better described as the sneak-peak to the new Basil's Bar. (The official Launch will be at the big 50th celebration of Mustique this summer)
