Thats not a religion, although it may become one.
My previous clients include doctors, lawyers, farmers, taxidermists, professional golfers, strippers, war lords, dog groomers, chicken breeders, prime ministers, allen key testers, snow globe fillers and plumbers. Rob though, was my first, and probably one, Luthier. I’m not talking about a deeply troubled but equally brilliant police detective who rubs his head a lot and drives an old Volvo. I am of course referring to the craft of the violin maker. That’s right, Rob is a luthier, Rob makes stringed instruments.
My guess is there aren’t as many luthiers in your street as you may imagine. I am so confident that none of will know a luthier that I will give a 5% discount to any new clients who send me a photo of them with a man or woman (with whom they are friendly) in the process of making a viola. A double bass gets a 6% discount.
However, all this talk of generous instrument manufacturing related discounts is missing the main point. Rob got married to Claire. Claire is a civil servant. I am not going to offer a civil service themed discount.
They got married at the beautiful St Mary’s Parish Church in Haddington and partied the rest of the day at Cockenzie House. Here are a few photos to prove it.
