Hi everyone
Just wanted to give a wee update on where I am at.
Sadly, I’ve been unable to secure a small piece of land to relocate to. I did find the ideal place near to Aberlady, a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, it got sold between me viewing it, and going home to make an offer! It was absolutely perfect as well.
I’m just putting the feelers out at the moment to try and gauge what your thoughts would be should I go down the renting of an industrial unit? I know that it’s definitely far from ideal, but if I’ve to keep this much needed service going, I’m going to have to come up with a plan B. Let me have your thoughts, and I honestly won’t be offended by any that you put forward. I’d rather know before investing everything into this, to find out that it’s just not what pet owners would consider.
I’ve given this a lot of thought and the fact that I have an elderly dog. I had to conclude that as my choice would be very limited, then I may have to go to an industrial estate based one. And… not that I’m saying anything is wrong with that, I’ve just been spoiled by my previous location and the peaceful surroundings it lay in.
Also, if anyone has any other ideas, or knows of something that might be available, please let me know. I’m open to investigating anything. I did look at the piece of land at Ormiston (Pddle Wood) but this has so many stipulations attached, it wasn’t viable. I’m also going to get in touch with East Lothian Council, just in case they might have a spare wee piece of land somewhere.
As I say, I’m open to suggestions and very much still searching at this end
