| I have been busy lately setting up what I hope will be my last business to take me up to retirement.....It's a bar/ bodega in my local town of Blanes between Girona and Barcelona.....It's seasonal business and will be open for 7 months a year.....me and the missus will run it and we'll work mainly with Spanish, Dutch and Russian tourism.....I'm glad to see the forum surviving and will make an effort to visit more often after opening night next Friday.Should ever any member pass by....The vino is on me![You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| Good luck with the new venture Beastie !  I was in Blanes about 30 years ago - On holiday at another resort [Pineda de Mar] I developed toothache and had to visit a Dentist, and the nearest one was in Blanes, I travelled there by rail, the train track ran along the beach....aaaghhh happy days !  Glad that all's well with you and yours and that you have not forgotten us. Your football team are doing well this season and may well be promoted to The Championship on Sunday, fingers crossed   |

| Gosh .. a bar/bodega sounds like a lot of hard work though it sounds kind of fun. Good luck with it Beast. I'll raise a toast to your success from the good old wet and windy UK on Friday night |

| Hi Beast! I was wondering how you were getting on. Ticking over ... sounds good. May your little venture go from strength to strength I was half expecting you to post a list of minor catastrophes during all the setting up. |

| Its only 2 metres deep at the deep end????? Doh!
The business has been running 54 days now and its been a slow start to the summer so far.....The high season starts this week so we are hoping for an influx of people???!
I'm just getting used to 14 hour days after four years of retirement.....A tad knackering and I'll be 59 this month. |

| Well, we have just closed the doors on summer 2015 but. will open weekends until mid November......It has been a fairly busy summer but was only a ' High' season for 6 weeks.
After working nearly 14 hours a day I'm looking forward to a break! Alas, the list of huge tasks around the house and garden eclipses what I thought was hard work this summer.
Delighted to see the forum trundling along, albeit a tad quiet. Well done to all of you for continuing to contribute and long may it continue.
I look forward to being a participating member........again! |
