Sugar cane fields surround Sunbury Plantation House. These must have been horribly hard to work in in the burning sun.
Sugar the source of wealth for Barbados in past centuries - wealth not evenly distributed - but this is a blog not a political treatise. Suffice it to say, things are much changed and for the better I think. We come merely to enjoy a historical artifact.
Sunbury Plantation House must have been a delight to live in. Not too very huge - there are four bedrooms
but with a super huge downstairs where large numbers could dine in splendor on the astoundingly long dining table. Anne Marie gave a most interesting short talk then let us wander about at our own pace.
The house looks as if the owners have just wandered out for the day - so many hats to protect against the bright Caribbean sun!
Jalousie widows open to allow for a cross breeze.
