I live in a very nice (or it will be, once we have rescued it a bit more) terraced Victorian house in Truro (Cornwall’s city) with my wife, Susie, and our two daughters, Martha (18) and Elspeth (12), along with Otto (3) my big scruffy labradoodle. Our two older children, Meghan (23) and Joseph (21) both live and study in London. My workshop is a half an hour’s drive away and is in a fantastic old granite forge, named Trebyan Forge, which was built in the early 1900’s. The main space is very large and light, with a showroom at the front that was previously utilized as a shoeing room for horses. I get quite a lot of ‘life envy’ from people until they realise how cold it gets during winter!
