Full circle of life here as my daughter bought a unit in a block in which my whole family had spent some months and even years dwelling there over the years.
This was really like a trip into the past.
Day one of renovations was quite interesting and the builder achieved a lot - having taken down a dividing wall between the kitchen and the lounge.

So, this was Day 1
We popped in to look at the progress today - Day 2
The bathroom gutted
Door to patio from the bedroom
Second bedroom
Patio
The patio will be re-tiled - as part of a general refurb to the complex.
The complex prides itself on beautiful gardens and their is a lovely swimming pool on the property. I'm looking forward to making use of the pool in the coming summer months.
Another amazing feature is a shopping centre across the road with several coffee shops, a Spar Grocery store with very modern features and of note, a delicatessen where one can pick up ready meals when taking a break from cooking. Also was delighted to see that a doctor I had used many years ago still had a practise in the shopping centre.
This morning we popped across the road to share a breakfast and some cappuccino's
Such a lovely garden type atmosphere
And who can resist a bar-one cheese cake to round off the breakfast
I'm really looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you. Thank you for reading my blogs.

How exciting that Eden managed to buy somewhere that holds special memories, and has so much greenery around. Nice seeing the renovations, looking forward to seeing once it's all done!
A bonus to have a nice coffee shop right across the road!
Haha - several coffee shops, there's a Motherland, a coffee shop in the Spar, a Doppio Zero and a Dough and Co being added soon. Also a Thai Restaurant.
Oh, the apartment looks to be gorgeous 😍 soon! I love the big patio and am looking forward to seeing the pictures of everything renovated.
Are you going to live there together?
Yes we may = for a while
