Good to hear from you again. The oil industry is not one for ever especially if
you don't like the responsibility of telling people what to do. I used to carry
my own tools ;)
I hope that your future business does well but if you don't have much experience
in catering it might be a good idea to get a job in it first. (My brother-in-law
is a chef and he tells some horror stories about owners full of good intentions
but no experience. It is a business after all and you should make money ;)
Anyway report back in November and start posting some of your images when you
can.
