Oh that's a shame. Sorry to hear about your mum. Maybe you'll be able to find another machine one day.

It's a lovely machine, we managed to find it online and it was built up in Scotland in the summer of 1892, which is insane that it's still going! All it needed was a bit of oil! Thank you for the link:)
