"Mair" is a Welsh form of Mary and it's pronounced "My - ah". My Grandpa was Welsh and my family has a lot of Celtic named members. We often joke that our family gatherings sound like a Lord of the Rings council meeting.

I set up my business as Mair Perkins but then I married my wonderful partner, Callum, and wanted to adopt his surname. For simplicity and consistency I still lead my professional life as Mair Perkins. Feel free to call me by Perkins or Bain.

My husband, Callum, and I live with four cats! Their names are Leela, Mendi, Bandon and Smokey. Here's a drawing of us all together plus our previous cats, Jack and Blossom. They're all rescue cats.
