And how long will the snows cover the Irish hills ...

....I guess we will see, but right now its the heart of Winter.

Even now, the Rainbow :)

Rentals galore.

Be sure to get your Residents group!

This is now part of the west side (for sunset experience). There are two bays with two yachts at anchor. The first bay close to cemetery and Congress Center has a yacht to live on. You can choose, if you want to have the yacht as phantom without physics but then have to lay out all floors and walls with invisible Lego prims or you get the same yacht with physics optimized for opensim by Prince of Amor in Blender. The box to buy is on jetty. For some people the non physical is better solution if you want to use it with engine. The new physical yacht has much less prim impact and can be used for anything. It is your choice what you like better. For Houseboat Yacht to live on, I would recommend the physical Yacht.
The other bay is in front of the Seaside Hotel and was my very first project at old Copycat times 2022. This yacht was created by Silver Mare (alias former Captain Hook) with all BDSM stuff (under deck). I made out of it a fetish party Yacht inspired by the rl existing Torture Ship at Bodensee in Germany.

You can reach the yacht by the red helicopter that is also landing at landing point. So you have the feeling to take a ride like Christian Grey to a party lol But you can also swim or float with boat to the yachts from jetty and beach at seaside hotel.

Caribbean Shores is a peaceful place of many rental properties and a lush Caribbean sunset that just takes your breath away.

If you are renting with us there already please make sure to keep your rental box up to date! :)

Rent an Island or a Hut, many choices here for sweet seaside living.

The bride arrives at the Wedding Reception area. Luxury awaits inside the reception area. The foyer is large with fireplace and lounges and champagne readily available. There is a dining room for formal dining that overlooks the stunning gardens - floor to ceiling glass adorn this venue - bringing the outdoors indoors.
A scrumptious smorgasbord for the most fastidious diner awaits. A dancing area opens out to another side of the landscaped gardens that include tropical rainforests, arbors, fountains and much more.
The backdrop to all of this is the most stunning water views as far as the eye can see - with a perfect sunset to make this day a day to remember.

Today, we pause to honor and celebrate the extraordinary Verna Avril, a beloved DJ at Event Plaza, an accomplished builder, and a cherished friend to so many. Verna has recently been diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and while the news has left us heartbroken, her unwavering spirit continues to shine brightly in the time she has left.

For those who have had the privilege of knowing Verna, you know her as a force of nature. Her music has been the heartbeat of Event Plaza, where she transforms gatherings into magical experiences, spinning tracks that bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime. As a DJ, Verna doesn’t just play music—she shares her soul through every beat and rhythm.

Beyond her music, Verna is a visionary builder and creator. She owns and curates numerous regions, each a testament to her incredible talent and love for creating beautiful spaces. Her worlds are filled with life, imagination, and wonder—a reflection of her boundless creativity and dedication.

Verna’s style and charisma are as unforgettable as her music. Always impeccably dressed in her signature short black dresses, she carries herself with grace and confidence that inspire those around her. But it’s her warmth, kindness, and generosity that truly make her unforgettable.

In this challenging time, Verna has shown us the depth of her strength. Even as she faces this diagnosis, she continues to remind us of the importance of living fully, loving deeply, and creating beauty wherever we can.
As her community, let us rally around her with our love and support. Share your stories, your memories, and your gratitude for the joy she’s brought into your life. Let’s celebrate Verna Avril—not just for what she’s accomplished, but for who she is: a beacon of light, creativity, and love.

We don’t know how much time we have left with her, but we do know this—every moment with Verna is a gift. Let’s cherish these moments together and honor her legacy, now and always.

Stay strong, Verna. You are loved more than words can express. 💖

Aussie and I will be hosting an event to celebrate our friend Verna Avril. In the meantime, please post messages for her here as she cannot be in Opensim but can read this website. Thank you in advance for posting for her!

I'm tired of the Opensim or OSW atmosphere.
I'm tired of always trying to be normal and nice and seeing people, strangers, or worse, so-called "friends" spend their time wanting to hurt or denigrate everything and anyone for no reason!
In addition, I had stupidly thought that this end of year and New Year period could be conducive to more kindness and perhaps even a return of some to more kind behavior.
Of course this was not the case at all on the contrary. So I did some cleaning in my contacts and will continue to do so, it tires me not knowing when someone will go from a normal friendly dialogue to attacks!

The latest one: in the morning I was very happy that a certain Marianna was passing by my Scorpion Island, she had promised me but we had not spoken about it again since long. Well she only spent 50 seconds but I was also happy that she talked about it in The Box...
A little later I had a troll in my french post about the easy configuration of a grid, troll saying that there was nothing new (what I never claimed. But go on to find something like that in french just to laugh....) and giving a link that I had given myself in the post, I sent him away and he blocked me and threatened me in The Box. I went to answer him in The Box with my other account (not blocked which seeing all his craps ) and the very dear Marianna came to complain and break me because I was "talking to myself" (which is totally false!)... These two morons who clearly do not understand anything, and especially not French (the troll even took me for an American!), allowing themselves to put their two cents in everything, are pissing me off!!!

Trolls, sick women or men, let me go! I will no longer take gloves, I will no longer be the second to block idiots, I will no longer participate in anything common here or in OS. I will only do what I want to do! Now if I hurt someone, too bad! Almost no one has been too careful with me!

And for the wishes: have the year you all deserve!! And if it turns out to be bad for the idiots I met, I admit that it won't make me cry!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J'en ai marre de l'ambiance d'Opensim ou OSW.
J'en ai marre de toujours essayer d'être normale et gentille et de voir des gens, des inconnus, ou pire, des soi-disant "amis" passer leur temps à vouloir blesser ou dénigrer tout et n'importe quoi sans raison !
De plus, j'avais bêtement pensé que cette période de fin d'année et de nouvel an pouvait être propice à plus de bienveillance et peut-être même à un retour de certains à des comportements plus bienveillants.
Bien sur, ce ne fut pas du tout le cas, au contraire. J'ai donc fais du ménage dans mes contacts et continuerai à en faire, ça me fatigue de ne pas savoir quand quelqu'un passera d'un dialogue "amical" normal à des attaques !

La dernière en date : le matin j'étais très contente qu'une certaine Marianna passe par mon île Scorpion, elle me l'avait promis mais on n'en avait plus reparlé. Bon elle n'a passé que 50 secondes mais j'étais aussi contente qu'elle en parle dans The Box...
Un peu plus tard j'ai eu un troll dans mon post en français (!) sur la configuration facile d'une grille, troll disant qu'il n'y avait rien de nouveau (ce que je n'ai jamais prétendu, mais cherchez ça en français pour rire....) et donnant un lien que j'avais donné moi-même dans le post. Je l'ai renvoyé paître, il m'a bloquée puis menacée dans The Box. Je suis allée lui répondre avec mon autre compte (non bloqué ce qui me permettait de voir ses attaques) et la très chère Marianna est venue se plaindre et me casser parce que je me "parlais à moi-même" (ce qui est totalement faux !)... Ces deux abrutis qui ne comprennent clairement rien, et surtout pas le français (le troll m'a même prise pour une américaine !), se permettant de mettre leur grain de sel dans tout, me saoulent !!!

Trolls, femmes ou hommes malades, lâchez moi ! Je ne prendrai plus de gants, je ne serai plus la deuxième a bloquer les cons, je ne participerai plus à quoi que ce soit de commun ici ou dans OS. Je ne ferai que ce dont j'ai envie MOI ! Maintenant si j'en blesse, tant pis ! Personne ou presque n'a prit trop de gant avec moi !

Et pour les voeux : ayez donc tous l'année que vous méritez !! Et si elle se trouve être mauvaise pour les cons que j'ai croisés, j'avoue que ça ne me fera pas pleurer !
