CB Woodwind

I forget these days whom I have/haven’t told, so as it was yesterday here’s a little bit about me.

The reason I’m here today as your local Woodwind repairer is because I have MS.
When I could no longer work as a Secondary Music classroom teacher, I turned what had started out as a hobby into a business that could fit around my health and energy levels.
I had two successful rounds of a trial drug called Alemtuzumab in Feb 18 and Feb 19,
and I am proud to have been relapse free for the last 8 years.

I still have symptoms that slow me down, but I am grateful to have full mobility and the capacity to work full time.

The truest words about any condition are spoken by those who live with the symptoms.
This poem is inspired by those words in support of World Multiple Sclerosis Day.

As you may have gathered, posting regularly on social media isn’t my strength! Too busy servicing all your lovely instruments! Thankfully work experience season is nearly upon us and the incoming students are keen to help me bring it all up to date!
In the mean time, here’s a small corner of the shop. I’m adding products all the time. Just taken a delivery of some rather funky pencil cases 😍 are they in this photo? Absolutely not 🤣 Watch this space!
