Some eight months later Jim contacted me to say that there was to be a sale of all the bar fittings from their business,. They actually ran a German style "Gast Haus" and B&B featured a resident Oompah Band. He then announced his pending retirement to Spain, but beyond that I know no more. They did have a web site selling their restaurant and facilities but that is now defunct Any details, memories or photographs that you may have would be most welcome.
