As the Rental Retreats holiday property management business has grown, my brother Antony has gained all sorts of experience in how to manage your own buy to let holiday property. So he has started holiday rentals property management blog where he will be discussing topics such as the earning potential of your holiday property, how to make sure that customers choose your holiday property over the competition, and how to market your property yourself.

On the 12th April 2008, my old school chum Thusha and his girlfriend Katherine got themselves married at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. I didn’t manage to get any photos of the ceremony, but there are a few snaps taken during the ceilidh in the evening that seem to have come out reasonably well.

Andy runs a small business called “Andrew Fereday Gardening Excellence” based in Halifax. He provides a bespoke maintenance service, specialising in perennials and flowering shrubs, many of which can be hard work to look after well. It’s a field that he takes very seriously and I can certainly recommend his skills. The business is beginning to bloom (sorry … couldn’t help it) and as a birthday present this year I thought I would buy a domain and set up a small site that would give him an online presence and make it easy to put up contact details, news and example photos from gardens that he works on.

For the moment the site is only just being set up, so you can expect quite a few changes in the near future. But hopefully it will eventually become useful as an online face of Andy’s business.
