Elizabeth Varadan's Fourth Wish Has moved - and Corrected the Link. "HERE" should take you there, now.

 



Please come visit me on my blog, HERE 

I'll be blogging about travel, art, writing, at my new location and would love to see you at the new site.


Meanwhile, Victorian Scribbles will still continue, so if you are interested in the Victorian Era or The Gilded Age, please visit that site as before.

THE BACK AND FORTH OF LIFE

I hope you all had a good New Year's Eve.  We did here in Braga, but a very quiet one, as the storms kept us indoors. 

Yes, as I posted on my Fourth Wish Blog, we did it again! We decided to move back to Braga, and we are glad we did. Much as it was great to visit family and friends in California, we found we missed Braga more than we had California. We've been "home" two months and a day, arriving November 6th, and we put the Azevedo house up for sale. Happily, in these difficult times, our real estate agent found a buyer. Selling homes internationally is a complicated procedure, involving notarized signatures and even one apostilled document. But it's finally done. 

The good news is that we kept our flat in Braga after all. We had put it up for sale, but then cancelled the sale, once we knew we wanted to come back. And we can almost relax. Almost, because our shipping won't arrive until next month. Oh, will we ever love to see it!

I'll sign off for now, but when we get our books again, and our desks, I'll start doing more book reviews and more posts about Sherlock Holmes, the Victorian Era, etc. I'd also like to explore a bit of history about Braga during the Victorian Era. 

For now, I'll wish you Happy New Year. May 2023 be a year of piece and happiness for you all.  


PS: For those of you having trouble commenting on my Fourth Wish blog, I am, too! I may have to change to another site if I can't fix the problem. As it stands now, I can post, but I can't reply to comments.
