hope its all going well.

I've already tried googling it, but there doesn't seem to be any recent information online. (I'm interested, too - would love to visit that part of the country again.)

You could try sending him a pm - then he'd know you are trying to contact him, if he checks his emails, that is!

Trouble is, business can be good but not good enough to sustain when you need extra money for repairs and holidays etc......We always have guests, all year round but very little profit, just enables me to have a very small income and stay at home with our dogs, love it in On my way! Ways but you never really have a free day.
