It's a wrap

After 10 days of complete stress remarkably the deal goes through. We're almost not convinced it could have happened. Bizarrely we become landlords for a week (we don't charge any rent as that would have probably been the last straw) although the pub has already been shut for a few weeks. I text Pierre who's in New York when the deal goes through, there's a mixture of excitement & anticipation. There's a long way to go & the hard work has only just begun, not to mention Pierre has just found out he's going to be a dad for the first time & his new born is due at exactly the same time as we expect to be opening!
