Funeral directors in UK

Posted by admin on May 14, 2012 0 comments

Lodge Brothers was started in Feltham, Middlesex by James Lodge (1762-1836) who was a builder and carpenter and also became the Parish Clerk. James was born in Marnhull, Dorset and was one of seven children. His father died when he was four and his mother when he was thirteen so James and his sibling became orphans. Legend has it that he left Marnhull to escape the Press Gangs and was making his way to London when he happened on the village of Feltham and decided to settle there rather than continue to London.

Lodge brothers are the very best Funeral directors. The family you can turn to.

Eco Homes are the way

Posted by admin on May 9, 2012 0 comments

Eco homes can be luxurious as well as green

Creating an eco home can seem at odds with luxury. For too long, the eco movement has been associated with the anti-consumerist ‘woolly jumper brigade’, and eco homes seen as ugly prefabricated buildings which put function ahead of aesthetics.

But the perception of the eco home is changing.

Recently, the ‘Apple Hayes’ eco house was nominated in both the Best Eco Build and Best Luxury New Build categories at the Northern Design Awards. While at the high end of the scale, ‘Barnsley Hill Farm‘, with a £4m valuation, features a 25 seater home cinema, indoor pool and steam room but with the carbon footprint of an average two-bed flat.

These eco homes show that luxury and being environmentally friendly can go together. And the rise of an educated eco-conscious generation is leading to developers creating luxurious eco house developments all over Europe.

In the UK, ‘The Lakes’ features 160 luxury villas (starting at £870k) built with eco materials (e.g. sustainable timber) and with energy saving features, such as rainwater harvesting, wind turbines and solar panels.

In Switzerland one developer is pouring £1b into transforming the village of Andermatt into a car free community with 500 luxury apartments, which are to receive 50 percent of their energy from geothermal heating.

Eco furniture can be aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and green

As these examples show, eco homes can be aesthetically pleasing and luxurious. This extends to the eco furniture, eco appliances and other environmentally friendly features you furnish your eco house with.

Eco furniture is made from sustainably sourced materials, including textiles as well as timber, which are produced with the minimum environmental impact. The range of eco products available also includes eco wallpaper and non-toxic eco paints.

The growth of an eco conscious generation means there is a growing market for luxurious eco homes, along with eco beds, eco chairs and other items of eco furniture which are attractive, comfortable and environmentally friendly.

Cashmere Poncho by Plum Trading

Posted by admin on May 9, 2012 0 comments

Plum Trading’s Cashmere poncho is the ultimate necessity for every woman’s wardrobe!

This was Plum Trading’s first ‘baby’ and has exceeded our expectations. It can be worn in multiple ways; as a poncho, belted, as a scarf, as a wrap, as a snood are just a few examples. Be warned, once you have one you will want more!

Simply the most versatile and stylish piece of cashmere you will ever own. Looks fantastic over jeans or wrapped around the most formal dress and is vital for travelling, or simply looking chic on the school run. Brilliant for those who have trouble with buttons and perfect maternity wear for expectant mum’s. Very flattering over a pregnancy bump and a comfortable clothing choice for baby feeds.

If you are finding it difficult to choose between blonde and taupe, taupe is a good neutral that looks good on blondes and brunettes alike and is good for all seasons while blonde is more summery looking and is better with fair or auburn hair.

One size fits all. Hand wash & dry flat

Energy management

Posted by admin on September 20, 2011 0 comments

Energy management is the monitoring of energy use and the identification of areas where energy can be saved, creating a blueprint for an efficient energy management solution.

aM&T (automatic Monitoring and Targeting) is the most effective way of discovering and analysing energy consumption and waste. aM&T is essential, as it provides you with the necessary data now required for adhering to carbon legislation such as CRC EES, CCA, EU ETS.

aM&T with RUMM consists of three components:

  • a sub-metering system
  • automatic collection of data from the meters at a pre agreed timeframe (RUMM Pulse)
  • analysis of the data in order to identify consumption, costs and savings (IBASS)

RUMM offers a full Energy Management Solution to create bespoke energy management packages guaranteed to give you a reduction in your business energy usage and costs.

In addition, the effective use of an energy management scheme will give you a reduction in carbon emissions and assist you with the existing EUETS, CCA and new CRC legislation.

Unique Gifts for Men

Posted by admin on September 20, 2011 0 comments

It is sometimes difficult to find interesting and unique gifts for the men in your life. We are all bored of buying socks for Dad, slippers for Grandad and a new tie for the hubbie at Christmas. So we thought we would give you a few examples of the unique gifts for men that we have here at The Travelling Souk. This Spanish Fig and Nutmeg Shaving Soap is extremely luxurious against the skin. It creates a smooth lather which soothes and moisturises the skin and the fragrance is just delicious. The unique aspect of this product comes in the form of the beautiful wooden bowl that the soap is packaged in. For only £16.00 this would be a luxury present that any man would greatly receive.

If it is a younger man that you are looking to buy a unique gift for; possibly a son or nephew, this GBR Wash Bag will go down a treat! It is made on the Isle of Wight from genuine recycled sail cloth making it hard wearing and practical. It looks great too, with nautical style appeal it is a perfect gift especially with the 2012 Olympics approaching rapidly!
