Choosing the perfect window lock for your house is critical to your confidence in using it. Most chancing burglars will be […]
I live in a nice suburb of a quiet and not very well known county town. We benefit by having all the best of the housing market – very spacious family house – at omne time desribed as ‘executive 4 bed detached’ to separate it from an ordinary Wimpey 4 bedroomed detached. So the area […]
We are the middle one of tree houses in a small enclave. We therefore have 2 sets of neighbours and these could not be more different. One side is always lending out their key so we can help with their doggy day care of they think they’ll be out for too long n a trip. […]
