“We saw all sorts of things but we tended to smile and laugh, some marriage proposals and some god knows what proposals.
“Send me a picture of your hands, send me a picture of your… You can delete and ignore and I’m sure there are plenty of ladies in that position that receive all sorts of things.

“It happens very rarely now, well still sometimes, but it’s mainly more in a respectful way nowadays.”

“We both teach different classes, but it works, I can’t even imagine working with anyone else. We started it together but it’s extremely hard. Like every other family-run business, it’s extremely challenging right now with all the rises.
“It is always a challenge but I wouldn’t work with anyone else but Ben because we know how to work together add we do it so well.”
Ben also has two children from a previous marriage, twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle.
