Accomodation problems

During 1993 fearing outstaying my welcome with Mark & Lynette Byrne, especially as they now had Max to look after, I decided to intensify my search for a house on the Island

I had been casually looking for a place for about 2 years and the subject had become something of a joke amongst the group...

"..oh yeah.. Robert's looking for a house again is he?..."

Arriving in the Island one February, I visited a number of new houses in the current development areas but never really saw one I liked or in an area I particularly wanted to live in.

During a conversation with a mortgage broker on the Island, (co-incidence or what? :)

So, on 25th April 1994, I became the proud owner of my own property in Birch Hill.
