My first story will be about the many good souls that make Kuxville. Devoted people who love to serve, and have the sort of kindness that has come so rare in this world. One example is our breadman, who has been coming every day of his life, in any kind of weather, with very little exceptions. He would hoot and shout out "Bonjour Madame bonjour Monsieur", while delivering his bread. Early in the morning he would get the bread from the baker, on his bicycle, and then he would do the coast on his old motorbike. My sister-in-law remembers riding with him through the village as a little girl, about 40 years ago. When he arrived in Kuxville, he would shake his big "guny" bag and the little pigeons were already waiting for their share, as part of a daily routine. The photo shows him of his last day of work, just before his well deserved retirement.

Introduction - Einfuehrung

Hello, my name is Andrea Kux. I was born and raised in Germany and have been in Mauritius for 20 years. I thought it was a good idea to present this island from my point of view, as a so-called "insider". You will find all sorts of things that I consider me worth writing and people to know about. I hope that others will find this interesting, just bear in mind that it is totally subjectif....! If ever you have a comment or a question about something, just drop a word through the contact form. Best wishes, Andrea
