Yes, I'd recommend them. They fitted a bedroom carpet for me last year and the team who came to fit it were excellent and very efficient. I'd use them again.

A friend and I had a brilliant time on the June course that Jess ran at her studio. I'm feeling much more confident about having a go with my own machine. Jess is a great teacher. We learnt a variety of techniques and had the opportunity to try, make mistakes and fix! All in a very relaxed setting. In week 2, we made our cushions and proudly took them home to show off our new skills. I can highly recommend the course and hope that Jess adds other courses in future

Just to note (as someone who has regularly travelled across France by train from London) that SNCF and Eurostar are very good at sorting out situations when trains have been delayed. If an SNCF train is delayed, the conductor will invite people to get their tickets stamped if they have an onward Eurostar. I've been late to Eurostar on numerous occasions and they've just put me on the next service. Mostly they've already been aware of SNCF delays. Ditto when I told the TGV staff that my Eurostar was late, they just told me to board and they would help me find a seat. Delays are common and they have procedures in place to handle them in both directions. I've always been pleasantly surprised by how simple it's been. Also, definitely agree with QueenMab re first class seats on the French TGV trains. They are spacious and relaxing and when my son was under 5, he could have his own ticket/seat for just 9 euros.
