Settling Down in Westcliff-on-Sea

Dear Young Writers.  I hope you are all well.  I thought I would let you know how our move went.  It is hard to believe we have already been in our new home for three and a half weeks!  It feels like we have always lived here and we are getting settled in pretty quickly.  The house is as done as it can be before the arrival next week of our new storage shed.  We still have a lot of things we need to keep in storage and they are still in boxes so two of our rooms are out of commission at the moment.  Once we can put these excess boxes into the new shed I will be able to sort out my new office and put all my books out and organise all my files and sit at my desk in the evenings and write to my heart's content.  And Steve can sort his little home office out too so we will both be as happy as Larry - whoever Larry is!

I have already had a phone call from a local lady asking me if I plan to start an Essex Young Writer Group - can you believe it?  I shall have to think about it.  We are seeing so much more of our grandchildren now, which is lovely.  But it will probably make a future commitment like that abit more difficult to accommodate.  But I must admit I was very chuffed she asked.

Anyway that is it for now.  Things to do.  I will be back soon and send you all my love xxx
