I'm back again after an absence of well over 5 years. I retired from the rat race and ended up here in Greece. We bought an old stone house at the western end of Crete and after ploughing in some money, time and effort we are very comfortable. The biggest problem I encountered was obtaining broadband. Now we are operating from satellite and even that is not marvellous because of the surrounding mountains. Still we are living a healthy life here in the Cretan interior.

When I first became an Adlander I had the website OneStopBusinessCentre sadly that has gone away. The ISP folded up and I lost all that hard work. While it was up and running AdlandPro Members always gave me wonderful support and were most kind about my modest web building efforts. It is good to see the changes around the place and also that my bank of listed friends are still there.

OneStopBusinessCentre is to be reborn, the site is still under construction. Not just another "How to build a business" but a resource centre with as much as possible free or cheap at least. Pages on how to do and where to get things, just like the old site but all being well it will be better.

Of course now that I live in Greece I will be looking to build a network amongst the Greek community and also those ExPat Greeks in America, Australia, Canada and other places as well. Do I speak Greek? So far just enough to get by, but I am learning all the time and anyway it's good to have a challenge. Translating my sites into Greek is proving to be just that.

I have several other sites under construction as well so I do hope that you will call by once in a while and take a look. We can never know it all so I will welcome any comments or critique. As before with "OneStop" there will be opportunity for Adlanders to place ads if they are in keeping with the sites I am promoting. Also I will be happy to make link exchanges where mutually beneficial.
