Next Sunday, in the early hours, myself Kevin, and my wife Karen, are taking the shuttle across to France on a fact finding mission to look at properties with a view to start a B&B business. Our chosen area is Finistere a beautiful and unspoiled part of the country that hopefully one day we could call home.

It's both an exciting and worrying time for us both but with a fair wind and a sat nav  we hope to have a positive  trip and come back with a better idea of what we will be up against. Then it'll be off the the estate agents and put our beloved family home on the market and see what happens.
