Sorry anch'io to hear about (what appears to be) the challenges you have faced. If you have the time and interest would be very interested in hearing more about your experiences, what you have learned, tips for others who are considering taking the same path, cosi via....

Thank you for all you kind messages of support, it really means a lot to us !
It would be a HUGE help to us for people come to our sale on the 7th and 8th of March then we can afford to get back to the UK.
We are also selling the contents of our book shop and our Land Rover Discovery.
Please tell all your friends.
Love and best wishes
Nicky

People sometimes think Im a bit mad when I post on the forum - but I'm going to take a risk here and hopefully you will understand what Im trying to say.

I don't know why your posts have affected me Nicky - I usually don't really give a stuff when a bit of typing on a screen tells me the person or people behind the screen name are leaving Italy due to broken dreams - but your posts are different for some reason. I spent ages looking at your website - I read every single word of it and even though it's not "my kinda thing" - I could see all the hard work and effort that had gone into your venture. I totally "got it" and it made me so sad to think that it wasn't due to bad planning or unrealistic goals that had forced you into closing down, but that people had somehow managed to undo all your hard work and sabotage your life.

Your positive attitude to what has happened is an inspiration and I sincerely hope you move forward in a most positive direction.

Nicky, I send you all my support and very best wishes for the future. Remember that sometimes it is fate that forces us to move from one place to the other and something may be waiting for you back in the UK which could be better for you and your family. All the work you put into your previous venture is not waste as there is a lot of experience that you have gained from it.

Nicky & Jeff,
You deserve better, are lovely dudes and Le Marche will be poorer without you. Just look at what everyone's writing and many of them don't even know you.

I don't know who's going to step in an take your role in sniffing out and corralling passing English.

You know we'd love you to stay but think that the potential rewards from the business aren't commensurate with the enormous effort and energy that you put into it. If you have the same drive in the UK you'll have a great life.

In bocca al lupo

Agree with Juliancoll, something about this makes me very sad. I, too, have researched Nicky & Jeff's retreat, and find nothing but wonderful stories. Sorry we haven't met before, however, we do plan to attend your liquidation to help fund your return to the UK.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.
