✦ the second detractor is that the office is currently leased so may not be usable until it expires, however should be possible to negotiate release and help to relocate (this space could be some of the coworking and maybe kitchen)
✦ the third is the winter season, being 4 months with lots of cloud cover, however this can be factored out, and as ever offer a good cheap retreat
