Ah ha....I find some time to get back onto "Mr Bloggy". Just so you understand, the biggest problem was actually my IT illiteracy and my inability to even find and then access my own blog to make this new addition!

Now where was I....oh yes, are there any positives to buying a hotel, changing your life, moving your life, wife, children etc to a new part of the country? The short answer is YES!
These include, beautiful part of the country, lovely premises, the chance to be building something for the future, indeed something that you actually have control over (sometimes scarily too much control, ie no one else is involved?!*), the chance to ski, walk or mountain bike when most everyone else is working in the City or Office...all great stuff. A chance to feel like you are living a life.
It is exciting but make no mistake, it is also dangerous to try and live a dream. I can for sure tell you that to sit in the safty of the armchair and talk the talk is very different from coming up out of the armchair to walk the walk....you may just find that parts of this walk are along a tight-rope?

If you want to do it then make sure you really do want to do it, otherwise be very cautious as you may just get exactly what you wished for.
