The property belongs to Mary...it's her home...and after 10 years open to the public operating as a gallery/bookshop/cafe she's reverted it back to her private home. The time had come for Mary to retire. She is probably in her early 70s.<br /><br /> The property and business were never on the market to sell...that wasn't the intention. Reclaiming privacy was the intention. Janene, the other partner in the business, lives elsewhere here in in Mount Tamborine with her family. She is keen to delve solely back into the art side of things once she's enjoyed a bit of a break.<br /><br />The tennis is great, but the heat has been horrendous! Storms cooled it down somewhat late yesterday...but the temps will rise again in the next couple of days. Well...it is summer, I guess!<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-33414534081995779152015-01-19T09:56:04.144-08:002015-01-19T09:56:04.144-08:00Maybe they'll find a new buyer and reopen?

That's tomorrow. Once that's done, then we can relax and take a breath.<br /><br />That is too bad about that cafe. I've heard that such places that require a great deal of effort to run are going out of business at least partly because the 'younger generation' don't have the same time and energy. At least that seems so here in the states. Not sure if it's true there as well.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-71761480009854541122015-01-16T09:37:52.123-08:002015-01-16T09:37:52.123-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-43062105547168849842015-01-16T02:36:37.540-08:002015-01-16T02:36:37.540-08:00oooh! payback! only xxx days to Christmas...
