This event refers to Irving's relocation to St. Augustine, Florida, likely sometime in 2021. The move appears to have been a significant event, prompting discussions about logistics, financial support, and emotional well-being. The reasons for the move are not explicitly stated in the provided excerpts.
The move was planned for Saturday morning, with a specific address in Islington initially mentioned. Concerns arose regarding the transportation of Irving’s car, necessitating alternative arrangements. Financial assistance was offered to Irving to cover unexpected costs associated with the move.
In 2021, Irving was "moving to Stunning Islington" (diary_2021). A family member expressed excitement and offered financial support, suggesting Irving take friends along. There was discussion about car transport, with Robert Mountford potentially providing parking and a ride back (diary_2023). Later in 2023, there was further discussion about car transport and a suggestion to leave it with Robert Mountford in Surrey (diary_2023). In 2017, Irving was traveling through North Palm Beach and planned to visit Herman Bender (diary_2017_may_oct). In 2023, Josef K. Schwanzer shared an article about Michael Bennet's family fleeing the Nazis, possibly reflecting on Irving's own movements and potential displacement (emails_2023_2024).
The move seems to have been completed, although details about the specific location in St. Augustine are not provided. Irving expressed a feeling that "these good times won’t last forever" and a sense of foreboding about the future (diary_2021). Financial transactions occurred related to the move, including a $1000 USD transfer to Beatrice and Roger (diary_2021).
