Leaving February behind .....

After eight months of trading Visit Britain has accredited us with four stars. One would say a pat on the back for both of us but it’s really a pat on the back for Tom; he’s chief cook and bottle washer, always ensures the guests the very best he can offer and as his biggest fan I say he deserves every one of his stars. Well done, darlin’.

We're back again after a short break. We’ve both had a well earned break in the Canaries. Leaving the guest house for the first time in somebody else’s hands wasn’t easy; would they be as keen as us, will they clean as well as us, will our regulars like them, will they prepare breakfast ok, the list of doubts went on and on. Our ‘man in charge’ was actually our nephew, Craig Doble, whose family have a hotel in Blackpool: www.thevillahotel-blackpool.co.uk . In fairness he was well practiced but in fairness, not with us!!!! Being a part-time comedian on the club circuit in Blackpool, raig kept our guests well entertained, ah thanks, Craig.
I’m pleased to say that Craig looked after the place well; no complaints from our regulars and he even took some advanced bookings. Ha, ha it didn’t stop Tom going through the place with a fine tooth comb at the first opportunity “Just in case”!!!!
