On Your Marques

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Oh what a wonderful afternoon we had at On Your Marques . Chris and Jane made us welcome and looked after us as though we were the first visitors of the season, not almost the last.

Jane had prepared a super tea party for the birthday girl and a decorated cake that would make any baker proud.

So, after ham sandwiches with the crusts off, profiteroles (I ate too many) and top quality coffee, we adjourned to the Scalextric track, 45 metres of exciting bends and fast straights. The birthday girl got a Ferrari as a present, so no guesses which car was fastest.

Roll on next season, we will certainly be returning to this excellent attraction, bringing with us the many “children” we know who will no doubt have as much fun as we did.

Thank you again Chris and Jane for a wonderful venue.

Sunpipe and Sola-vent

Friday, October 5th, 2007

We have installed both the Sunpipe and Sola-vent into our home.

The delivery was prompt and the packaging super, no damage reportable.

The installation was straightforward for anyone with some DIY skills although the time suggested installation should take is a little out, I would give a day for each first time around; if you get proficient then a pair of diyers should take about three hours for a Sunpipe, four or five for a sola-vent.

In use they do what they say on the packet and work well in any light situations, even illuminating areas using the streetlight as a source.
