MADAM, It is with regret that with effect from January 1st I will no longer be trading from 36 Broad Street.

Unfortunate circumstances have forced me to make this decision and I am very grateful to Martin and Jules for making it less painful than it could be.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working alongside them at Senior Moments but have decided that it is better to have a rethink on how my business should run its course, now, rather than later.

I have ideas in the pipeline, but in the meantime I will be working from home and will be around and about obviously still doing my walks and talks as this is a major part of my business helping Ross tourism.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me (especially Martin and Jules) and I will still be a member of ART, albeit with a different style of trading.

I came back after the Market House upheaval this time last year - I will do so again!!

I wish Martin and Jules every success for the continuation of their businesses at 36 Broad Street.

Mary Sinclair Powell
