It's nearly a year since we started this journey and I must admit it has not been an easy one,but we have survived and are still here to tell the tale, personally I could never have done it without my children by my side,they have been my rock and I am so thankful that they are taking this journey into the world of business with me and of course my husband busy with his own career as a Realtor but still making time to keep our books in order and handle the paper work, I could never do it myself not in a million years.I wish now I had started this Blog at the beginning of our journey as it has been like a  very bumpy roller coaster ride,it seems to be easier and calmer now but we are all so much better at what we do, we have learnt a lot and still have a lot more to learn, it is certinly a work in progress and I'm not holding my breath who knows what is round the corner so far for us there has always been something we don't want (generally machinery breaking down or staff playing up or not turning up)but I live in hope that life will settle down the problems stay behind us and life will be less stressfull giving us something to look forward to in the future..But there again we are running a restaurant, so will life ever be perfect.
