Thought for the day :"First rule of the Passive aggressive club is… You know what – never mind. It’s Fine!"
Day 2 of the Getaway - and I have been in the pool - played pool, eaten to my fill and drunk a bit of wine (that is a technical measure - honest) and thought about a Glamping site as today the "Offers and Final Bids" had to be in and so we looked to see what we could arrive at.
The bid is in now - if it is not enough it was not meant to be ....
Text of the bid - for posterity :

Dear
Sir,
Cwm ty Coed
– Carmarthen – Best And Final Offers
Thank you for your notification regarding the above address.
My wife and I have viewed the property and would like to place a bid with
regard to the purchase.
- Iain Weston Sewell & Susan Jane
Sewell.
41 New Road, Llanelli, Carms. SA15 3DP
07914 810080
iain@pigsmayfly.co.uk
- We would wish to offer the asking price
of £395,000
- We are happy to negotiate up to an
additional £35,000 for the purchase of the business to include current
equipment required for running the existing business
- We have an agreed offer for a property
at 16 Hengistbury Road, Barton on Sea, BH25 7LU, listed at £445,000
awaiting final conveyancing, so finance is available, indeed we are
willing to move to an offer for the full price for immediate contract, but
understand that your clients wish to complete later in the year. After
consideration we are willing to consider later completion, but finance is
available at an earlier time.
- We do not require additional finance and
are able to proceed without mortgage, chain or other financing.
- Our offer is not subject to survey or
independent valuation.
- We are willing to proceed from an early
date – but after discussion have decided that the vendor’s choice of end
of season would suit a structured transfer of property and business.
- Additional Information:
My wife and I have been actively involved in
similar customer-based venture for the last 17 years, managing and maintaining
a Live Roleplay and Reenactment Marquee/ Tavern business throughout the
country. (
www.crimson-moon.co.uk)
Our wish is to have smallholding and maintain links with our previous
customers. We are well experienced in most areas surrounding camping / glamping
and leisure activities.
We have the finance available, and as we are
living locally and currently retired, if successful we would welcome the
opportunity of working alongside the vendors in a voluntary capacity to learn
the details of the current business model to ensure a smooth transition.
The vendors may consider this advantageous in
providing additional casual labour for no cost. We currently reside 20 minutes
away from the property and could make ourselves available as convenient to the
Vendor.
Should the vendor wish to proceed at an earlier date than end of season, we are
willing to consider covering the expected profits for the remainder of the
season – subject to negotiation.
As a retired Police Chief Inspector
(Dyed-Powys Police) I currently receive both occupational and state pension,
providing a basic income outside any future business requirements.
We hope that these factors may assist in the choice of preferred partner.
In the event that we are unsuccessful we would like to congratulate the vendors
upon all the work that they have achieved at this site – a task that we would
hope to emulate elsewhere.

Sent and received so we will find out in the next few weeks ,,,
Cheers !
Time for a drink I think
