Lorna, it looks beautiful. Your long-term Bermudian sentiments are the same as those who have been visiting or living in Anguilla for a long time. I guess we always remember the "way it was" with great fondness.
Anguilla, compared to when we first visited just six 6 years ago, has changed so much. And when old-timers tell me there was no electricity a mere 30 years ago and absolutely no tourist industry, it's hard to imagine.
But, as you say, compared to how other Caribbean islands have also grown, many really now way over-developed, Anguilla remains an oasis of peace. You still won't find a single person on most beaches!
