Go for it Alex!!

By doing something that isn't necessarily for financial gain gives far more pleasure than that which you rely on for your main income....especially when you enjoy it too!
The knowledge that you are not finacially committed to the place gives a more relaxed attitude to the task in hand.

Wishing you every success with it.
Looking forward to the tour! "Appearing at a bookshop near you!!!" :)

best wishes, Yvonne
