i think that sounds like a sensible plan vik and dont let your dreams fade just because you have taken a different route. I am a local florist (not town centre) and the amount of event work we get is amazing so you dont always have to be in the town centre. You have got to put yourself out there more and be proactive in gaining work though but good luck - i am sure with the amount of number crunching and thinking you are doing it will work!!
