A Royal Residence in Kensington Garden, this palace has been home to many prominent personalities of the Royal Family. The British Royal Family has been residing in this palace since the 17th century. Kensington Palace is the official home to the much loved Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their son Prince George of Cambridge. It is also home to the Prince Harry of Wales, Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent and unofficially home to Zara Philips.
Kensington Palace was the official residence of Diana, Princess of Wales until her death in 1997. Also it was home to Princess Margaret and Princess Alice until their deaths.

Breakfast Meetings at Sunrise Senior Living
December 27th, 2013
Bill Wilde, District Manager who looks after the Surrey and Berkshire area on behalf of the Memorial Restoration family business, has been attending meetings at Sunrise, Weybridge, every three months, an initiative started by the residential home earlier in the year.
Bill said, “They start at seven thirty in the morning with a working breakfast, and are attended by several businesses from the local area. The main areas of discussion are where we are able to better serve the local community working with each other. For example, our Branch Arrangers may be asked about Probate or where care may be obtained for elderly parents, and working in partnership with our local businesses means that we can direct them to the correct people for help and advice. On the plus side, I have made new friends and it has been enjoyable attending these seminars”.
Lodge Brothers have a large range of Kerb Set Memorials and Classic Memorials where permitted, a memorial may cover the full length of the grave giving a wide variety of choice and design. They have put together some of the many designs available and often modify each design to suit individual requirements (eg adding or removing vase posts). The area in the centre can be left for planting, filled with chippings or covered with an internal or external coverslab.

DIY Marquees raising marquees to greater heights

Expert advice from DIY Marquees your number one specialists in DIY marquees for sale
Should I remove the sides of my marquee in strong winds?
No, a marquee is far more wind resistant with the sides on rather than off. For some reason there are many people who believe that leaving the sides off a marquee ‘lets the wind pass through’. I will try to explain below why this is not true and why leaving the sides off of a marquee actually makes it far more susceptible to the wind than leaving the sides on.
The diagram above shows how the wind passes over a marquee and how any wind going in to the marquee gathers and lifts the roof up. The best way to avoid this is simply to have the sides on the marquee facing the wind and have the marquee well anchored down.
Please note that this article is dealing with marquees in strong winds but not extreme weather. Marquees should not be left erected in extreme weather conditions.
The people who advocate taking the sides off in strong winds believe that the above scenario is best solved by removing the remaining side panels, thus allowing the wind to pass harmlessly through the other side of the marquee. It doesn’t. There are two factors in play if the sides are off.
i. Wind building up under the marquee roof – this still happens even if that other side is taken off. Don’t believe me? Try walking across a field in windy conditions with an umbrella – by taking the sides off your marquee you’re turning it in to one very large umbrella.
ii. Lift being created by the wind that DOES pass through the marquee:
This shows the wind passing over or through the roof only marquee. The wind passing over the top of the marquee has much further to travel so has to go faster to keep up. This may ring some bells for those who stayed awake during Physics lessons:
The reason a wing attains lift is by the air passing over the top at a greater speed than underneath and so the differing pressures caused creates lift.
A marquee roof isn’t as aerodynamic as a wing but a lifting force will still be created, not only that but the steeper the roof the more force there will be – another reason for having a20degree roof/3m apex on 6m marquees as discussed last week.
This post isn’t intended as scare-mongering, it is purely aimed at dispelling a myth. At DIY Marquees we try to encourage all of the marquee hire companies we help to follow best practices:
- Ensure the marquees are well anchored down, that means tie down kits as a minimum.
- Leave the walls on any side likely to face strong winds (have the entrance on a different side)
- Never take all of the sides off a marquee in strong winds
- Know your marquees limitations -if Michael Fish states there definitely won’t be a hurricane then resign yourself that the marquee has to come down (this is rare, it happened once in the 10+ years I ran a hire business).

RUMM Energy Management Solutions & Savings – In partnership with RPC
by theadmin on Jan.05, 2014, under Business, Energy Management
The RPC Group is Europe’s leading manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging. With just under 50 autonomous sites in 12 countries, the company employs in excess of 6,500 people.
RUMM was asked to investigate energy usage at RPC’s Llantrisant plant and provide solutions and suggestions for reducing the annual energy bill.
Following the completion of the aM&T system, where 17 meters were installed across the site, a benchmarking exercise then took place in order to ascertain where energy was being used and equally where it was being used non-efficiently. (energy management UK)
RUMM and RPC then engaged in an energy management partnership to achieve savings. This included regular weekly meetings to discuss options that could save the company money.
Site analysis was carried out based on production output, SEC and this was benchmarked to reduce consumption.
As a result of the measures put in place, energy consumption in the first 5 months dropped from 1354528 kWh to 1131995 kWh, with specific energy consumption reducing by 14%. This equated to a £120k saving in the first year alone.

Enhance love, intimacy and sexuality
by theadmin on Oct.30, 2013, under Alternative Therapy, Health, Health & Beauty
Tantra, an ancient eastern science, which included sexuality and spirituality as a doorway to ecstasy, creation, healing and enlightenment. Tantra was born in India around 5000 BC, through the sacred union of Hindu god Shiva, pure “Consciousness” and his consort, the goddess Shakti, pure “Energy”.
Tantric Journey with Mal Weerarante is a an awakening and healing process based on this ancient science to help:
- Enhance love, intimacy and sexuality
- Improve relationships
- Heal your body, mind and spirit
Recent research has shown that tantric practices contribute to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain and enhance the production of endorphins, making people more relaxed, healthy, and happy reducing tension and stress.
To help you decide whether to go ahead with the Tantric Journey, try and answer some of the following questions.
- Have you ever felt incomplete during sex because your partner has already “landed” before you have even had a chance to “take off”?
- Have you ever glimpsed an ecstatic moment in love and later felt that you did not know the way back?
- Have you ever wished to be touched at the core of your being, yet felt afraid to open your self up and be vulnerable?
- Have you ever felt bored with sex in a long-term relationship and found yourself wishing you could capture the passion that used to make sex between you so exciting?
- Whilst making love or just afterwards, have you ever wondered: Isn’t there more to sex, than this?
If you have answered, “yes” to any one of theses questions, you sense intuitively, the value of taking part in the Tantric Journey.
