Meet Me At Elbow Beach by Colin Bird

Meet Me At Elbow Beach by Colin Bird

In 1973, after answering an ad in the Construction News, Colin Bird finds himself flying to the sub-tropical island of Bermuda on a two-year work contract, excited but unsure of what he will find. Colin is blown away by the beauty of the island, with its pristine pink sand beaches and white roofed, pastel-coloured houses set amongst a riot of spectacular flora. With no grinding poverty, he soon realises that Bermuda is as close to paradise as it can possibly get - a view that is only underlined by the high standard of living made possible thanks to generous tax-free salaries. He discovers that there are many other young expat workers on the island, and he settles quickly into his new surroundings, becoming immersed in the frenetic bar, beach, and party scene.  With close friendships that will last a lifetime, overactive love lives, and a dedication to the support of the distillery industry – particularly in the production of rum, Meet Me at Elbow Beach is a personal account of the adventures of a group of people in a place that was perfect for indulging in life’s pleasures.

Colin Bird was born in Banbury and raised in Reading. After marrying at an early age, he finds himself alone and miserable after only eighteen months, when his wife leaves with their baby daughter. Confused, he desperately searches to find his niche in life and eventually finds himself on the paradise island of Bermuda. Now retired and living in Spain. Meet Me at Elbow Beach is Colin’s first published book.
