My favourite BBC Television show is Hustle. I always found Adrian Lester's character to be strong and articulate. Thereafter I began watching other movies that Adrian appeared in. Yes, I became an Adrian Lester fan! I later discovered that his parents were Jamaicans.BBC TV has a programme called "Empire's Children" . It traces the history of Britian's famous . Tonight they are featuring Adrian Lester and I wish you could watch it too. It was quite interesting and I loved the nostalgic feeling of seeing the images from home and listening to the good ole Jamaican talk.
The documentary traces his family history which took him to St Mary. You could see he liked the lush greenery, but he seemed to have appreciated the sacrifices his grandfather made start a new life in Britain. He now understood his roots and the significance of the name "Lester."
It was interesting to see the documents which were unearthed in Birmingham which showed the attitudes of British people towards "coloured immigrants".
Adrian's grandparents and mother were from Lester Hill, St Mary. He was born in Birmingham and now lives in South East London.

D, I did not know you had left Jamaica. My thoughts were on you, having not seen or spoken to you in years. I see you are doing well and am happy for you. I see your taste in men has not changed :-) ....not that he looks anything like me.
