Thanks very much James. Definitely worth considering for the gold items. Not sure if I'm ready to chance cremating that much money just yet

But if you are looking for top quality enamelling then try Keith Seldon, he has done a lot of enamelling for me in the past, see; http://www.keithseldon.co.uk/
Also there is Graham Hamilton, who owns Kempson Mauger, P.O.box8078, Ongar, Essex,CO5 0WT. phone, 01272824754

Thanks for the advice Carole. I contacted a guy relatively close to me in Suffolk about a course, but I'm still waiting to hear back, so for now I think I'll treat myself to the book and try to get enough "me time" to read it

I don't know how you even have time to think about enamelling with so much going on. What a busy person you must be with all your children.

There's definitely not enough hours in the day! I can work full time from home with the children which is a blessing, but I usually find myself surviving on 4 hours sleep and trying to fit in jobs like washing my carpets, by doing them at midnight
