For the last ten years, our lives have revolved around the artisans of Mexico. We decided to buy and sell handicrafts during a four month hitch hiking trip to Turkey. Our initial thought was kilims, however wanderlust took us to Guatemala, via Mexico. Emma was a student, taking a year out. Martin gave up his job as a Maintenance fitter. That was ten years ago. We now live happily in Scotland, with our two sons, in our tiny cottage. Martin spends half his time going backwards and forwards to Mexico, keeping the chiminea quality good, whilst Emma stays happy, raising Matthew, and David William (Yorkie to his friends).
