Will soon post pics of the new place. Getting a new household set up while attempting a sabbatical from work is an oxymoron!
The book is actually set at SoWal, Grayton to be exact. It is the story of an older woman, a peppery old bird who has lived an "indelicate" life, who has repaired to a cherished seaside cottage to live out the remainder of her years. The story is told through a series of letters, postcards, and articles that she has written over the course of her life. I have the correspondence part and am now working on the connective tissue. The writing comes easily here, perhaps due to lack of a lot of people and no distractions of work. Thanks for cheering me on.
Yes, will be down your way in December and hoping that Santa will be in flip-flops!
