I'm fine Malcolm ~ yes it is a bad time for all at the seaside and for pubs as well as accommodation ~as it is for all people in need of a holiday

I am aware of businesses needing to ensure their cash flow and profits continue to work out and for professionals to be able to claim for expenses etc

It's a funny old world now isn't it

Similar situation happened to us regarding a cottage we had booked at Whitby when the cottage was sold and the new owner refused to honour the booking ~ gutted we were!
