Hello from our new home

It has been a whirlwind few weeks, that’s for sure. We left Sweden to go straight to our new home! Sooz and I wanted to retire in a place that was on the east coast of the US, warm in the winters, and had an active downtown so we didn’t have to drive everywhere. We found that Sarasota, Florida fit the bill perfectly.

 

We bought an apartment right downtown in a building that was under construction. Our timing was just about perfect, as we were able to move in early November. Lots of things have come together in these past few weeks; we bought a car, signed up for doctors, dentists, etc., had our goods delivered both from our London home and all our stored stuff from Dallas. We also had to buy light fixtures and shop for furniture. I also had the Shelby shipped down so, for the first time since 2014, we are reunited at last. So not that much really! 

 

It’s only been a little while, but we like our new city so far. It’s different to Aspö; our new home is in a high-rise, very urban, and it’s darn hot outside! It will be nice to have the best of both worlds: busy Florida winters and cool Swedish summers.
