This has been a very difficult year for everyone and a tragic one for many. We can only hope that when 2021 arrives the current situation will have improved and Covid 19 will be under control.
I am fortunate living in the south of England as we have not been as badly affected by the virus as those people in the north. It has been a time when you found your true friends and also made new ones, along with returning to hobbies and discovering previously unrealised talents.
I was able to visit Elounda in September, although I had to quarantine for 14 days upon my return. A small price to pay. I had a very relaxing two weeks, feeling safe, enjoying glorious sunshine and able to meet up with many of my friends over there.
Elounda was quieter than usual with far fewer visitors. It was sad to see so many of the tavernas and shops closed and everyone is going to have a difficult winter financially as they do depend upon tourism for their income.
I had to work hard upon my return to complete ‘Pietro’ by my personal deadline. I am pleased to say the manuscript is now with my typesetter and should be going to the printers next week with a publication date in December.
I had to take ‘holidays’ from Amazon, firstly for our initial lock down and then again whilst I was away. I was so delighted when my customers returned once I had re-instated my selling agreement with Amazon and very grateful to everyone who has purchased my books. They certainly encouraged me to continue writing All my books are now available again on Amazon. My visits out are restricted to going to the post office to send off book orders and my essential food shopping, taking all the recommended precautions when doing so. Not exactly an exciting life, but necessary at present. Stay safe and well everyone. Obey the guidelines and we will be able to overcome this distressing situation that has affected us all and be able to look towards the future positively.
