I would plan the tours, which would then go on the website for folks to book and I then lead the tour.

The company is buying me a brand new bike for work, along with all the kit, insurance, etc. All expenses such as fuel, overnight stops where the tour is a multi day trip, insurance, food and drink are paid for, and I get paid well too.

This changes everything. I am about to go from having no work and trying to find somewhere to live with the aid(!) of housing benefit to having enough income to not only be able to afford the rent on somewhere, but to be in a position to afford to take back the tenancy of my current home when the work is completed.

Feeling a little shell shocked about it all. Totally unexpected.

I still think that certain of the trustees of the chapel and house have failed to observe the teachings on which their church was founded.
Christian words are easy; Christian deeds are rather more difficult.

Gary that is bloody brilliant, I'm really happy for you. It sounds amazing, and a lot of fun. It's a great start to getting back on your feet. Or shiny new bike!!

I’m still reeling from the shock!

I’ll be riding an adventure bike for the first time, probably one of the Honda Africa Twins. Be an interesting experience.

Fantastic news, Gary, I'm so pleased for you. You will be ace at it. More goat tracks to explore

Best thing I've read or heard all week Gary! Well chuffed for you.

Seeker · 16-02-21, 10:11 AM

Excellent news, Gary, you deserve some good fortune.

Geodude · 16-02-21, 08:13 PM

Great news Gary and well deserved

garynortheast · 16-02-21, 08:28 PM

Thank you everyone. I’m cautiously optimistic that a corner may have been turned.

Made up for you Gary!

(May I suggest one of those tours goes directly through the parish office/'that person's garden?)
