I live in a little village called Akeley - two miles from Buckingham. Nice to finally have someone nearby!

MK is rather a wilderness it feels! just moved here a month or two ago!

I think it places always seem like that when you first move. I'm sure you'll grow to love it. I visit MK all the time -I really like it. Do you live quite centrally or on the outskirts?

Broughton, near the M1 junction 14. Oh I like it more now- spent the weekend exploring some of the green spaces taking photos.....but not many other designer-jewelers LOL!

No there doesn't seem to be many - or maybe they like to keep their work to themselves!

Less competition for us :) yay!

Hi Emma, I used to live in Bletchley...oooo...about 30 years ago. They were just building the massive shopping centre then. I used to commute up and down the A5 to Harpenden (Herts) every day. But that was before marriage and kids! I bet it has all changed a lot since then. I think we all have problems with finding markets - I now live in Runcorn, which is the 'poor relation' in Cheshire, so locally it is very hard...I have to think globally!! I love your work -especially how you manage to incorporte textiles in with it...I can't believe you have problems selling it in MK! It was so full of new, young people when I was there....hmmmm.... I guess they all grew into 'old fogeys' like me now!!:D Best of luck anyway!
