WINTER IN THE SUN; Lazy Days in Montserrat
1990
Overview
IT was in Montserrat that I finally did it. I had read about it, talked about it (cricket talk is a necessary prelude to serious discussion with most West Indian political leaders), but I never actually went to a cricket match until I went to Montserrat. The truth is that there was nothing else to do there, and that sense of leisure, I have come to realize, is the essence of cricket, and one of the reasons why the Caribbean has produced the world's greatest cricket players. Montserrat is a British colony, officially called a dependent territory. Some, such as Chief Minister [John Osborne], do not conceal their ambitions for independence, but so far they haven't been able to muster enough support for this idea. And the arguments don't get too heated. After all, the head of the government and the head of the opposition are cousins, both named Osborne, which forces politics into first names. Not that this strikes anyone in Montserrat as particularly noteworthy. In 1970 the head of government, William Bramble, was voted out of office in a landslide victory by Austin Bramble, his son, who ran on a platform that called his father too autocratic. William unsuccessfully denounced his son as \"a chip off the old block.\" Old Road Beach has the island's distinctive black powder sand. A [Monserrat] resident makes a toy from palm fronds for a young visitor at Vue Point Hotel.
