Monday

Depressing me a bit, the fact that we're into the 20s in June already. Also hours away from the Solstice, meaning (if you want to be depressive about these things) that we're already starting the slow descent into Winter....
On a more positive note, Gavin has gone ahead with his 'foolish folly' and bought two hotels on the Suffolk coast, so we're not likely to see him for a while. His plan is to leave the running of the caravan camps to his 'trusted management team' and throw himself into the creation of a new empire. Not sure a couple of venues counts as an empire but you have to admire his ambition. They're rather in a state of disrepair, by all accounts, so there'll be a bit of sprucing up before he can start making his fortune renting out the rooms. He's determined to project manage the whole thing himself though, so he's been walking around with a measuring tape, scribbling ideas down in an A4 pad and starting to contact local builders and decorators to see if they're available to help with the upgrades. I keep thinking that he's gone a bit mad and has bitten off more than he can chew and he'll fall flat on his face and he'll have to sell one of the holiday sites to make up the shortfall, but his current business started when he took over a run-down, badly-thought-of caravan park by selling his house and taking out a loan, and 15 years later he has 3 sites running at full capacity, and all with great reputations and great reviews. So, good luck to him.
