A change for the better

When life in the UK lost its lustre, Beverley Chadwick took a chance on a fresh start in the Cape Verde islands. She tells her story in her own words

“There I was, having a lovely life in the UK, living with a wonderful man, doing a job I loved, regularly gigging with two very different bands, enjoying all the diversity that life can offer. Then it all came crashing down one Saturday in April 2005, when my beloved soulmate and partner of 17 years had a stroke and died a day later. Life would never be the same again.

I eventually returned to my job at London’s South Bank Centre, which kept me going and kept me strong, but then I was made redundant when the Royal Festival Hall closed for refurbishments. When my cat died, aged 21, it was the final straw. I really needed to make a positive change in my life.
