In this opening episode, Montserratians in the UK paint vivid pictures of life before the eruption — the sounds of village life, carnival laughter, wise sayings from elders, and the deep sense of belonging rooted in family, faith, and land. They recall the view from their homes, the bustling rhythms of Christmas and St Patrick’s Day, and the hopes they held for the island’s future. This is Montserrat as they remember it — before the silence fell and the ash began to fall.
