wish me luck

Recommended Posts

Next week The wife and I will be signing the papers for a new business venture to the tune of €500,000
the house is on the market, Bridging loans all arranged, I got the feeling I'm going to be in debt for the rest of my life.

I know it's a little cryptic but just bear with me for a bit.

I'm back, it's been a hectic day.
and sorry it's not skydiving related :(

Imagine if you will a tiny village in the foot hills of the pre Pyreneean mountains (the Pyrenees are the mountains that divide Northern Spain(Catalunya)
from France) an idyllically quite life, most houses are over four hundred years old and in the village square, a watch tower dating from the tenth century.
Thats my village.

Last summer the village shop,bar, restaurant an hostel closed, really it ripped the heart out of the village.
The owner decided to sell up lock stock an barrel, After months of mulling it over we've decided to buy it.
As we know nothing about the restaurant business professional help will be hired,

Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into this time[:/]

Imagine if you will . . . .



How competely wonderful sounding!! I'm sure it will be A LOT of work, but hopefully you'll get a lot of joy from this venture and will meet LOTS of interesting people to share stories and break bread with.

(but... for some reason, Fawlty Towers keeps popping to mind :D)

Having driven through many villages of that type, and staying in many places such as you describe...I'm sure you'll do well!

Best of luck and let us know when you're up & running...you WILL give skydiver discounts RIGHT?!B|

I did for a moment think of renaming it "Flowery Twats" but I don't think the locals would understand the humor.

To all,

The restaurant was an will stay what we call a "Grill" which means all the meat is cooked BBQ style,
I'm doing deals with the local farmers to supply the meat. The beef here is to die for it's all free range.
Each spring the heifers are let out to the pastures an woods an stay there untill the fall.

With the Restaurant comes about 800 acres of mixed land, a rundown swimming pool an the
village football field,

I'll take photos when I can, probably next weekend as I leave for and return from work whilst it's still dark

If I get any skydivers passing through, produce a valid license an the beers free.
