A little about your host, Kelvin.
I was born and raised in Barbados to age 10 /11, when in 1971 I was whisked away on a very slow BOAC Trident Jet which took 13 long hours, to join our mother in Chiswick West London England. Soon after arrival we moved from Chiswick to Feltham Middlesex, where I attended secondary school.
My first employment after leaving school was as a 5-year Apprentice Trainee Electronic Wireman, and this included attendance at Kingston College of Further education where I sat and passed two papers gaining two City & Guilds of London Institute Certificates for my efforts, passed with Distinctions.
At 21, I had a change of direction and went into retailing with one of the UK's largest high street retailers. After eight months, I was invited onto the companyâs Trainee Management Program, which included a short course of professional training in the phycology behind managing people.
Thirteen years later, my quest for knowledge and the buzz of a challenge took me into the more difficult art of Direct Salesmanship.
I became a father at 27 to the best son a father could wish for, and during an incredibly happy marriage I sadly became a widower at 48. Nearly 17 yrs on from that dreadful event, I am now a grandfather to two gorgeous little girls.
I have a love for all the creative arts and architecture and an interest in worldwide events. My lasting quest to learn new things and about people, took me travelling throughout the lengths and breath of the UK & Ireland, Western Europe incl Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands [the Streets of Amsterdam a few times], Greece, Malta, the Americas [New York, Florida / Caribbean - Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel for a taste of Mexico, and Dubai for an introduction to the Middle-East, before returning to Barbados, which has always remained home, eight years ago.
Growing up and having a diversity of friends much wider than my limited travels, with different religious and cultural backgrounds, in addition to my travels from an early age, means that I have a very easy-going mindset, which is open to differences. My philosophy to life is, 'laughter at every opportunity, never take yourself, life or anything too seriously'. This is borne out through my long-suffering irrational love for a football club called; "Queens Park Rangers FC", but as I am one who like to see others doing well, and a closet glory hunter, I also support whichever team is at the top of their game and winning. I have a serious, focused, determined, and relentless work ethic that has always blinded me from playing as hard as I work; however, I do also enjoy kicking back with a rum/beer or five, and great stimulating conversation with good people.
The Neighbourhood:
The property sits on a terrace approx. 250ft above sea level, hence the title, "Breezy Vista on the Terrace", and stretches out from east to west, which means there is the benefit of a constant sea breezy to the occupants. The combine areas of Water Hall, St Silas, Deanes, Apes Hill & Westmoreland are classified as, "middle to upper income neighbourhoods", and retain some of the old-fashion ideals such as looking out for and ensuring the wellbeing of each other, which means our guess are assured of a comforting welcome, securities and pleasantries, as is typically synonymous with such neighbourhoods.
We welcome you to enjoy a stay at;
