Amy Winehouse has flown back to St Lucia, less than two months after her last extended break on the Caribbean island.

The singer is believed to have returned to the island to complete work on her as-yet-untitled third studio album.

Winehouse was pictured over the weekend horse riding on a beach and enjoying time with locals.

"Amy is enjoying herself. She loves the island and would even consider buying a place here,” a source told The Daily Record newspaper.

"She has managed to enjoy a much healthier lifestyle on the island. She knows it will take time to present a full album's worth of material. Expectations are high.”

Winehouse is reported to have written a number of “very personal” songs for her new abum, which is being produced by Salaam Remi.

The singer spent three months in St Lucia over Christmas and New Year before returning to the UK in February.

Last month, Winehouse pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault during an appearance at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.

The case has now been adjourned until July 23rd.
