i suppose i should declare an interest

Those of you who've been coming here for a while know that I am currently self employed within the broad field of catering. Well that's about to change. Sort of. As part of my journey across the abyss I've come to realise that I really don't want to be doing that any more. The working hours for running the business, a fifteen hour per day seven days per week operation, and the constant interruptions to my home and social life have contributed to that decision. Time to move on and try something new. I need employment with more sociable hours in an environment that I enjoy.

And I've found something that fulfils those requirements nestled at the foot of the South Downs. I'm fairly sure I've reached an understanding with the charming and delightful owner of Adur Brewery and will, once I've sold my business, become the next employee of the brewery. It's hard work and the pay is abysmal but I'm actually going to enjoy going to work for the first time in a very very long time.

The future is looking brighter.. .. ..

'Marriage is based on the theory that when a man discovers a brand of beer exactly to his taste he should at once throw up his job and go to work in a brewery.'
(George Jean Nathan)

And what's wrong with that?
All the best!

As I told you last night, I'm so pleased for you, a new direction, timed perfectly. Maybe I'll get a guided tour when I'm down there? ;)

Thanks for all the positive messages chaps. Appreciated.

Oh and Pam .. .. .. I'm sure we can arrange the full "bells and whistles" tour for you when you're next down this way. It might be over quicker than you think though ;o)

We can spin out a tour to nearly an hour - but most of that is beer tasting I'm afraid.

The really good stuff (e.g. our highly sophisticated bottling line) will take around 30 seconds.
