    I am happy to hear that no one was injured. People please Be safe out there as this country doesn’t want to hear anymore bad news about death right now as it is already depressing in this place. Nonetheless, when Tola people can’t drive, poor VG does have to suffer. Now we know why we had a power outage yesterday evening. Smile God loves you and I both the same. Have a blessed safe day all. Remember to wear your mask properly and keep those hands clean. Keep a bottle of soapy water and paper towel in your vehicles or hand bags to help keep your hands clean. One BVI Love. Happy Tuesday

      Yes, let’s make jokes as a mother mourns the loss of another child as a result of Covid as in this case, it was the culprit!

    This Person has Virgin Gorda out of power and other services all day: Hope they are ok, but on the flip side, they need their backside looked-up.
