    I stumbled on this page by accident. My maternal grandfather was from Sherbourne and I've still got family all over Bim. Thanks for cheering up my mom who now watches your channel.

    As a Bajan residing in North America, I appreciate the effort you and your son put in to these drives. My wife and I look forward to riding along with the two of you, as you take us to areas in the island we have never visited before.
    It is amazing how we are inclined to miss the beauty that is right in front of us. This is what will happen when you take things for granted!
    You Do a great job of narrating, keep up the good work.

    Loved this St Lucy video; when you came back from the schools and made the left and then right turn onto the road you said you discovered by mistake was special for me because I've never even seen that turn off before.

    Love my parish St.Lucy. Love it D &J. I grew up in Checker Hall...and at 2:55 is where the sign was " You are now entering the parish of St.Lucy. There was a standpipe and old chattel house there denoting the border...so Sherman's, Clinketts are St.Lucy. Moon Town is actually a slang name given to Half Moon Fort due to the parties ,fish fries and lots of activities in that area before. Love the video again...brings back memories.

    I love your videos and out of all the other creators yours are the best. Where I may give other TH-camrs (even those who do other countries like America and Trinidad) 5/10 stars you’d get 10/10 stars. It’s great how you explain everything as you drive along. I myself am from Barbados but currently live in England. Keep going!

    Lovely drives, however some places can only be truly explored by foot. Possibly D & J drives can think of adding a D & J walks onto this lovely youtube page.

Those garbage bins. We now have a water bill with sewage tax. That sewage tax has taken our bills to extravagant heights Not every district has bins. Some households in St John are with out. In Barbados. Nothing is just given. We are Taxed for it. NOTHING is Free. WE are Taxed from every angle in this country. I sure you've driven on some very bad rds. So many Rock Halls in BIM

    Can you believe St. Lucy had one of the mouthiest polititian in parliament who represented that parish, and all like now the roads are in a mess.

      You expect de man to get every road in St Lucy in just a short space of time? He is not a magician
      An international road assessment project completed in 2017 showed that 30 per cent of our roads were good, 55 per cent were poor and 15 per cent were bad. In essence, we have 70 per cent of the roads in Barbados, based on that assessment, being classified as very poor and in need of repairs.
      At least he some of the roads fixed unlike Kellman who never got any roads fixed and had the MP for decades not one road in St Lucy was fixed between 2008-2018
      Road in St Lucy fixed under MP Philips
      Crab Hill to Archer’s Bay, Crab hill Development, Salmonds Ave, Mount View Road, Well Road,
      Road works ongoing in St Lucy Animal Flower Cave Road, Chance Hill, Pie Corner Bridge, Jemmotts Road, Well Road #1, 2, 3, 4, Maycocks Terrace. Plus with all the mains replacement that is happening when the BWA is finished those roads will be fixed. It is unrealistic to expect that every road in an extensive road network to be magically fixed.
