SC,
do not dispair, flower; there's buyers out there, somewher. When you find one, ask if he's got a mate will ya?

Have a holiday in the city you're off to; we did, only 2 weeks ( childcare etc) but it was enough to convince me and the old man! At least you'll get to nosey about, and you know us northerners love a poke around!
Be Hopeful,
J
