Bachelor Bungalows

Eligible Bachelor Bungalows for Shy and Bold Alike


I went on a deep dive recently to find the perfect bachelor pad for my fictional bachelors in two of my manuscripts. I wanted realistic bungalows for them and felt that these three suited their stories.

                    Bungalow 1

Bungalow 2

Of my two manuscripts, one has a shy, isolated yet genuine bachelor, Nel in Forest of Sun and Shadows.

The other, from Love & Laughter (And other disasters), has a bold, charming mid-life bachelor, Louis. 

Bungalow 3


Both are perfect gentleman with only honourable intent regarding their lady friends, but will they be lucky in love? You’ll have to find out when both books release in early 2025.


I would love your input regarding suitable bungalows for both bachelors, from the choices above.

News from my holiday in England:

I had a fantastic time climbing Glastonbury Tor in whipping wind, exploring the delights of Wells Cathedral, walking amongst wildflowers on the moors and headlands of the South Coast Path.

Quaint villages, literary places of interest, unique beaches and the South Devon Chili Farm all added up to a memorable holiday.

But more than that, I felt like I had finally arrived; in life, in London, in love. This was more than just a holiday, it formed the bones of a fairytale life come true and I can’t wait to write it up in a new book.

It’ll be a spin-off (as opposed to a sequel), of my memoir En Route, both of which, outline mid-life love and how to make a success of it.

I left complimentary copies of my memoir dotted around Southwest England because so much of it speaks of my deep connection with my past, and my ancestors, from the area. Their stories of resilience, love and longevity inspire me.

If you’re in England, specifically Dunster in Somerset and Torquay in Devon, visit the guest library shelves and you might find yourself a signed copy of En Route.

And now to end off with some highlights from my stay in the land of my dreams, England.

    I'm drawn to Bungalow No 2. What a lovely time you had spent in England, Elora, certainly a travel experience you will never forget. Love the photos, lots of memories recorded down.

      I agree Barb, I envisioned that one for him; and he’s actually based in Wales so I’m hoping it fits the location.

The Kind of Life You Want

Redefining Love and Marriage https://unsplash.com/@jennymarvin Committing to a life-long marriage through difficult times takes a lot of courage. I had to define for myself the kind of life I wanted. Was I willing to forgo some of my identity to take on the characteristics of a partner who, just 30 years ago, was a complete stranger to me? Had I really got to know him at all? In this life that we share, how deeply had we truly got to know each other? Not so deeply at all, I was to learn. In spite of the many epiphanies through our year-long travel escapade, what we did on a daily basis in the humdrum of a nine to five lifestyle eroded the  lessons learnt and the coping mechanisms we had adopted. Outwardly we have a wonderfully marvelous life, yet our invisible introspection, unseen by those around us, slowly dims the light in both of our eyes. Old habits took over as we forgot to create special moments together. Our lives became mechanical. Learning to redefine the meaning of l...

There's Always a Solution I said this to a friend the other day who was struggling with tech stuff. She was so grateful for the boost that  she persevered for an entire week , but she did it!  So let’s just expand on the notion here, that ' there's always a solution.' Elora Canne - Memoir Writer I'm delighted to share my conversation with you, from the Living Big Mindfully podcast where host, Kate Champion, and I discussed many later-in-life relationship topics.  But I'm particularly interested in sharing with you, the notion that there is indeed always a solution .  Not only in everyday life situations, as told above, but also in those deeper, more difficult to navigate situations as you'll discover on the podcast. There is always a way around a hurdle,  even if you can't jump over it. To listen in on our conversation, insights and solutions, tap this link:  Living Big Mindfully Podcast Book News: 🫂 Allow me to focus, just for a minute, on those solut...
