Now Baking for sale?

When I started Now Baking in mid 2004 my brother advised me to sell it when we leave. Then when we knew we were leaving Christine C (dear friend and lawyer) strongly encouraged me to sell the business. My first reaction is I have no business to sell...it's just a hobby. But I suppose I do. Even though I'll take the name and the website with me, I still have my customer base, email mailing list, recipes and goodwill. So that's something. I asked a couple of people if they were interested (Lucinda - no, and seeing as she works it was to be expected, Rose from the baking class - no, they've just found out they're moving to Sweden and Grace - no, not the right time for their family) but didn't get far.

Until today. A woman called Marlene emailed me via the website and I rang her back. She's 62yo, recently out of work (same company as MK), loves to bake, is looking for something to do and Monica (also in the baking class) had told her about me. We chatted for a while, and she was keen to meet up. Which we'll do next Thursday. Even though I don't know the amount, money was mentioned and she is going to think about a price. As will I. I just hope that if she is interested I have enough time - and headspace - to do a thorough handover.
