To earn more money, we decided to run our own business, and, for no good reason, decided to run a hotel. Not without many difficulties we found, bought and ran Springwells in Steyning, Sussex. Over the three years that we owned it we upped the capacity from 5 to 10 bedrooms
The children started going to school in Steyning. Joanna's problems started to emerge here, with a number of best forgotten incidents. Our family accommodation in the 2 bedroom adjoining coach house proved to be too small, so after 3 years we moved on.
