You may remember me mentioning that my aunt, uncle and 17year old cousin moved to crete in Greece in January, have been catching up with them via email and tonight skype (now I got it set up.)
The had originally planned to offer bike tours of the area, but it looks like this is going be harder to set up than they thought, as it needs to be licenced, my uncle is a trained cabinet maker and having had conversions with the lovely couple and their family that own the apartments they are renting its seems there is demand for good furniture they have been introduced to someone who is like a business estate agent and she showed them several workshops, one of these is on a small complex with a workshop that a small mechanic business uses and her grandfather has a large greenhouse that he grows veg in, turns out he is getting too old to keep this up and they have offered that to my aunt, who grew veg back here, the use of the greenhouse plus some land, the workshop for my uncle, she's spoken to the locals and the feedback seems to be that there is definately a market for a small nursery business with my uncle making good outdoor garden furniture and planters etc, especially to other ex-pats.
So although its not the original plan its even better!! As my aunt kew she was going miss growing, she'll need to learn about flowers though as she only really grew veg but I'm sure if they put the work in it will be fine, now if only I could persuade HB to move I'd go work for her like a shot sounds like a great job
