I've decided it's time for me to move on. The wife has her cafe on the market and with the lack of rain and consequent lack of work I've decided to move on to something else. My business is in the process of being sold as we speak. I advertised it in Gumtree.....and it lasted about 4 hours (must have been too cheap....lol). It's been a lot of fun and had the seasons been a bit kinder I would have been happy to continue.

The current plan (subject to change of course) is to sell both businesses, rent the house, buy a bus and live on the road for a while.....whether it happens or not remains to be seen......but ya gotta have a plan....right?

I'd just like to thank everyone here for all the invaluable input and advice and information.....and of course the banter and laughs. ILMCOA is an invaluable resource and I will point the new owner here....
