Which thoughts cross your mind when you think about horse riding? In my mind I see little girls who dream about winning ribbons in equestrian tournaments, or I picture Europe’s royalty wearing ridiculously huge hats and feverishly watching the world-famous horse race at Ascot, or I even think of the lonesome cowboy from a renowned cigarette commercial galloping through the American prairie… Despite – or probably because of all these clichés about it, the popularity of horse riding as a hobby doesn’t seem to wear off… But one thing is sure: horse riding is, without doubt, quite a time-consuming and costly hobby. One of the most important pieces of equipment a rider needs is a saddle. But don’t let yourself be fooled… Finding the right saddle for your horse and your specific discipline seems like an almost impossible task to me. After an extensive research on the internet, it becomes obvious that you can easily spend a small fortune on a saddle made from the finest leather and decorated with fancy silver clasps and ornaments which are typical for a western style saddle for example.

An Englishman’s home is his castle. And his car his most-loved toy. This would be a rather crude assessment of what is more, much more, than just a fleeting fancy or a child-like fantasy – it is a deep, ingrained passion for fantastically-engineered and beautifully-crafted motorcars which stir emotions and – yes, it must be admitted – pluck at the strings of the heart. The beauty, the power and the elegance which veteran, vintage and classic cars embody can cause grown men – and of course women – to tremble with excitement and pleasure and to bemoan a bygone age of glamour and style as they look back on slowly-fading but fond memories. Which is why these wonderful vehicles need to be protected, not only against carjackers and car thieves, but also against the ravages of time, the elements – and the indoor climate. Continue reading
There are a few fundamental facts of life which you learn at a very early age: eat your greens, they’re good for you (although this is a known fact, it takes some powers of persuasion to convince a four-year-old that you aren’t just trying to trick him into polishing off his Brussels sprouts); don’t cheek your elders (which is obviously meant to teach young children respect although it is another well-known fact that age and wisdom do not always go hand in hand); that burping is bad manners and that you should apologise (whereas back in good ol’ Henry VII’s day it would have been considered a stinging insult if you didn’t belch after a meal) – and that one and one is always two. Well not in our world it isn’t… Continue reading
Many people do not question the value of a humidifier. They appreciate that it is a modern-day means of monitoring and controlling the relative humidity and of creating a healthy indoor climate by filtering dust and other allergens out of the ambient air. Such an appliance does not only have a positive effect on your health, it also enhances your overall sense of well-being. And then are those who proclaim that humidifiers do not improve the room climate and most certainly do not provide a healthy environment. On the contrary, according to these people humidifiers do in fact contaminate the rooms that they are installed in by spewing fungus spores and germs into the ambient air and considerably heightening the risk of the onset of mould. So who’s right? And is it this time not man but the machine that is to blame? Continue reading
Most of the time people don’t give much thoughts about how to air their house or apartment. During the cold and frosty months of winter at least you mind to keep the doors and windows closed to keep the valuable and costly heating energy inside the house, don’t you? But as soon as the temperature rises again no one really cares anymore… Because if it is warm outside I can open up all windows and doors to let fresh air into my apartment, so there is no problem anymore with damp basements or moist walls, right?

What do a 120 metre luxury yacht and a dehumidifier have in common? Not a lot you might think. And in many respects you would be right. You won’t find many front rooms, basements or cellars large enough to accommodate a class II super yacht with three decks, two Monets and a celebrity chef on board, and only an intrepid explorer – or a fool perhaps – would even consider attempting to cross the channel on a dehumidifier… Continue reading
Dehumidifiers play a much more important role in the home or office than many people actually think. That’s because they can effectively control the indoor climate and have a positive effect on the way you feel by extracting the excess moisture out of the surrounding air. It is this excess moisture which can not only have an influence on your sense of well-being but can also have a serious effect on both your health and your property. Visit our blog and find out just what the TTK 30 S, one of our most compact and popular models, has to offer… . Continue reading
Ballerinas, sneakers, boots, sandals, peeptoes, stilettos – the women among our readers will know the problem: whether they are intended to be comfortable, practical or quite simply stunningly beautiful, if there’s one thing you can never have enough of it’s got to be shoes! Yet once you’ve bought them, there never seems to be enough closet space to accommodate the whole collection. Continue reading
The images and video footage that we have come to see of Queensland, where parts of the northeast Australian state, equal in size to both France and Germany put together, are submerged under water are harrowing and distressing. We are fortunate in knowing that we won’t be as hard hit when melting snow and persistent rain in our part of the world causes rivers to swell and breach their banks and dykes to burst. But if they do you should be prepared and know who you can turn to in your hour of need when the water has finally receded . Continue reading
There are some people who would say that a piano is as sensitive as a human being. Which is why you should always treat yours with the tender loving care which you would normally reserve for a member of your family or your close friends. This includes the right indoor climate, which if left unchecked could damage or even ruin your most prized possession. Find out here how a dehumidifier or humidifier can make all the difference and protect not only your property but also you and your health. Continue reading
