It is already more than half a year ago that my husband and I moved to Reunion Island. We have a beautiful house with a swimming pool surrounded by palm trees and lots of flowers.
Yes, a little paradise. But I like it most when I have visitors. They bring joyful voices in my days and in the sharing I suddenly discover the beauty of my new home.
They bring me pleasures even before they arrived.
I never really like shopping, but it is much more fun buying all the things you think they might like or should have tried. I don't have to restrict myself to what the two of us should eat and for once the fridge is really full.
I don't have a housekeeper and cleaning is a boring job. But when it means preparing the bedrooms for visitors, I suddenly find myself singing while getting everything ready. Even a bit of painting is not too much effort.
Driving around was in the beginning a real challenge, eventhough the island is very small (40 by 60 km) the mountains and the steep roads make every journey an adventure. The first couple of months I sometimes didn't leave the house for a whole week. Now I drive my visitors around and discover the beautiful places together with them. The pleasure is in the sharing....
