I'm staying in my same field, but have got a well overdue promotion and kick up the ladder. 
Hubby is going to leave the plastics injection moulding industry and be a part-time musician, and part-time house-hubby.

Hi Lenmil
Hope you don't mind me contacting you through this thread, I saw you were a jeweller/ goldsmith in NZ before returning to UK, we are heading to NZ in 3 weeks and my OH wants to go back to silversmithing when we get there I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions.
Cheers
