A brief potted history:
Maryline was born and raised in Mauritius, and I have Polish/Irish roots, we met in the U.K where I was managing a night club in London. We have been married for 27 years and realised our dream (mainly mine at first! ) by settling on the Paradise Island of Mauritius in 2003.
After much searching we found the perfect spot to build our home. Recently Maryline has opened a Tourist Boutique gift shop, which specialises in the sale of essential oils, particularly Ylang Ylang essential oil.
We are ardent ecologists, and we always encourage visitors to visit our Island and discover a greener side of Mauritius, which sadly is overlooked by the majority of tour operators promoting Mauritius as a holiday destination.
We process a good knowledge of Mauritius, which grows day by day, and through our experience, hopefully we can pass on a few tips and "what to do's and not to do's" to visitors and those of you who may be contemplating a similar move.

Maryline with tame Red Cardinals
This is a picture with some of the birds that visit our garden every day.
We are very lucky in living in a beautiful unspoiled setting at the foot of "Lion Mountain"
The local country side is a conservation area, maintained by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation. The threatened species the Mauritian Kestrel and the Pink Pigeon, nest locally. Many a day a kestrel visits the garden.

.My best mate DJ
Here's DJ (no he doesn't smoke lol.)
DJ is a rescue dog,we adopted him when we settled on the Island. There are many stray and homeless dogs on the Island, and it's a problem currently being tackled by PAWS (this is a story for another post).
We have always kept dogs as part of the family, we have owned Rottweilers which have sadly passed on. At present we are the proud parents of DJ and JD a newly adopted abandoned puppy, and 2 griffons Zoe and Saxo. Included in this family are 2 cats Tiggy and Timmy, but as is the nature of cats they actually own us.
