Fully Booked - Strandberg, Emma

. .

Résumé :
It isn't called running a bed and breakfast for nothing. What do you do when you move to a foreign country and haven't yet mastered the language and customs? Take it easy or find an old house in need of rebuilding, and open a B&B? Never one to run from a challenge, that's exactly what Emma did in an idyllic seaside town on the west coast of Sweden - in the middle of a winter where temperatures dipped to minus twenty-two! With feet of snow, few daylight hours and a very small budget, Emma battled constantly with the challenges thrown at her. As winter progressed, plaster and paint turned to slush, wood cracked in the ancient house and frequent night climbs on to the roof resulted in bruises, cuts, and a few broken bones. Having survived the renovation, the real business of running a B&B began. No sleep, a lack of privacy and the odd drunken threesome (by the guests!) would push her to her limit. With perseverance and determination, Emma succeeded in living her dream. Here you can share her extraordinary journey. www.emmastrandbergbooks.com. Highly entertaining, the perfect book for anyone who dreams of opening their own B&B or escaping the rat race! It is honest, funny, and written as it happened, with much humour and forbearance....
