Nige was quite high up in the IT department for a big banking corp, took early retirement and, much to our surprise, they bought a slightly run down 12 room B&B in Torquay, I suspect Nige had little input to the decision, certainly wouldn't be my idea of retirement! They did a hell of a lot of work to bring the place up to a high standard and rarely had space during the season. Unfortunately his wife (very close friend of my wife) developed "C" and passed away. Obviously Nige couldn't run the place on his own, closed it but couldn't sell, meant too much, he rattles around maintaining the place, could reopen tomorrow! His sister moved in for company and the people who own the guest house next door are good friends.
