We’re now all set up in our new home and have brought our instruments back from London where a colleague was keeping them safe for us while we moved house. We’re planning to build a purpose-built room for client visits, but we are still able to welcome visitors in the meantime. We’re now based in rural Somerset and can pick you up from either Bath Spa or Castle Cary railway stations. If you are driving, we are equidistant from Bruton, Frome and Wells. Contact us if you wish to make an appointment to visit. Martin will also be travelling to meet clients in the UK and throughout Europe as usual.

Thank you to the clients who have sent us best wishes and house warming gifts. Below is an original artwork which Sarah Hudson commissioned specially for us from the assemblage artist Amanda Page. She also sent a fabulous chocolate cake – and if you are jealous of that (you should be, it is excellent) the recipe is now on the website I (Anna) run with my daughter: Maggiesmacaroni.com
