I am about to embark on a new adventure...and I thought my artist blog might be a good place to share this adventure. My husband Paul has talked about building a 'container home' out of shipping containers for many years. With dual citizenship, Canada and Barbados, his desire was to build this home in Barbados. Sadly, a container home is not to be...well not at this time. We are, however, going to be spending a good part of each year in Barbados as we are to take possession of a pink porched, red roofed home in the parish of St. Peter on Tuesday, August 22nd, just 5 days after celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary and 6 days after celebrating my 71st birthday. This new home has room for an artist studio and I look forward to setting it up 'Dreama style '(http://dreamatolleperry.com)
We met the present owners yesterday, two beautiful people Sally and Ethan, they are returning to England after being in this home for 8 years. We met their daughter in England via FaceTime!
We are staying with friends in St. James with views of the sea off in the distance, a breadfruit tree I can almost touch off our balcony and a flamboyant tree in full bloom. Our first meal after arriving this visit was breadfruit chips and chicken and the second day...breadfruit lasagna.
Breadfruit Tree...I can almost reach out and touch...
Below me...
Flamboyant Tree
Update: We ran into a snag and did not take possession on August 22nd...we are now looking to Friday, August 26th as our closing date.
Photos to follow. I am having difficulty accessing my photos from my iPad, laptop in Canada, and so again I will call upon my daughter Michelle for assistance.
