Last October our landlord
gave us notice, as he wanted to renovate the apartment we'd rented from him for
eleven years. My regular writing basically stopped right then until we could
find another apartment. I have never in my whole life (and that's pretty long)
been without the pleasure of writing.
I just posted and posted and networked etc. trying to find us another place to live. We nearly took one place, but it wasn't secure enough. Then the next one was going to have a lot of renovations going on as well. Finally, third time lucky, we found a lovely garden apartment in an oceanfront gated community, which unbelievably was in our price range! We moved here two weeks ago.
It was quite a move, but we
managed it. We can now have lunch on our porch and enjoy the trees, flowers and
shrubs that grow profusely here in The Bahamas. We can walk down to the beach
in the evening and sit on a bench there, watching the cruise ships on the
horizon and the waves lapping at the white shore. We will of course start
swimming too, once we are completely settled and the weather warms up a little.
NOW I can write again!
I'm glad it has all worked out well for you. The view looks lovely.
