<br />
Glorious weather, a record number of exhibitors from as far as Hungary, Germany, France, Belgium and Scotland, and plenty of buying visitors from as far as New Zealand, USA and Japan, added up to another successful Salvo Fair on June 26th and 27th.<br />
<br />
The trade morning on Friday 25th started well with a buyer from Portobello Road so keen to be in at 9am that he paid £92 for a small pitch to get an exhibitor pass, and had merrily spent spent several thousand pounds by the official opening time of 11am. After 1pm public were admitted, which meant that many of the smaller mixed stands had recouped their fair costs by Friday evening, when Florian Langenbeck and Thomas Knapp kindly invited exhibitors to a soiree featuring German beer, bread and sausage.<br />
<br />
The Saturday was very busy with long queues before opening and a few thousand visitors through the gates during the day. (We will not know the official visitor numbers until Knebworth's accountant has checked everything next week.) That evening the exhibitor get together, sponsored by Salvo, and kindly organised by Peter Watson of Cox's Yard was deemed a great success.<br />
<br />
Sunday was, predictably, less busy with the world cup England v Germany match at 3pm, which was shown in a few places live on the fair field. Even so, several stands reported constant sales throughout the match.<br />
<br />
<br />
The next Salvo Fair is scheduled for June 24 - 26 2011. <br />
<br />
Next year we plan to beef up the Friday trade day, making it trade only and increasing the ticket price, with no public allowed, but with free invites to international dealers and specifiers in architecture, construction, landscaping, interiors, set creators, hotel and pub trade from around the world. We will also ask exhibitors to bring larger items and more reclaimed building materials samples, and we will once again have an exhibitor cap and reduce the amount of new and repro on the site, which had been noticeably cut down this year.<br />

The sale consisted of 800 lots of architectural items from Great Northern Architectural Antiques, who have recently gone into liquidation.<br /><br />Cataloguer and auctioneer for the sale Neil Grenyer said, "As pretty much everything was in without reserve, from an auctioneers point of view it was very successful with very few lots not finding new homes. Viewing was steady throughout Monday and Tuesday morning and around 150-200 people registered to bid either in person, on the telephone or left commission bids. There was a good mix of private and trade buyers including from the USA and Canada. The highlight of the 220 lots that were outside in the courtyard was a sandstone portico that was chased to £4,600 by a private buyer and a member of the trade, with the private buyer winning. Elsewhere, a series of carved stone keystones made between £350 and £500 a piece, a wrought iron weather vane made £450 and a fairground barrel organ 'The Mermaid' sold for £500 where the retail asking price was less than £350!<br /><br />"Inside, the best sellers were the stained glass panels and vestibule arches with many pieces selling to buyers over the telephone, although a couple of Arts and Crafts style doors with leaded and coloured glass took £500 a piece from buyers in the room. A large Art Nouveau leaded and stained glass vestibule complete with french doors sold in the room for £1,500. <br /><br />"The areas where this sale struggled were the cast iron fire inserts, probably due to the shear quantity being offered, and the mixed lots of odds and ends which sometimes struggled to raise a bid. The last section of the sale was the brass door and window furniture which was sold in large quantities. Although much was genuine reclaimed old pieces, many of the knockers and door knobs were brand new, with the owner of the foundry bidding to buy them back - unfortunately for him, the bidding was so strong that they were often selling for more than the retail prices he would normally charge!"<br /><br />The sale was attended by a number of trade buyers.<br /><br />Drew Pritchard said, "Hot hot hot . . . boiling conditions and mainly trade buyers. Total bedlam as lots were pulled from the sale at the last minute, mainly the star pieces due to ownership issues. A superb stone entranceway was bought for £4,600 plus commission by the wife of the owner of a major home builder for their Cheshire house.<br /><br />"Myself, Rupert from Leominster Reclamation, and Beeston Reclamation were the big buyers of the day. Also in attendance were Colin Scull, Laurence Green from Insitu, and numerous other Salvo dealers. I bought the massive cupola that has graced the car park for the last 20 years and a collection of carved friezes from a Manchester hospital. Prices were all over the place, which is typical for this type of auction, and the auctioneers acting for the bailiffs took no prisoners. Lots of items sold for £1 to £5 for complete pallet loads."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGSIsL4pkXhUs4boznO9DBxe-N4GpxIJWHKIZaB_RuapIftFe-AtkEL-iKVg9P9syJKHKE3CPHptnamWL_jM0D45BLrTika66xWRsHR-S1UPQ3diLlATO9i8I8UfPvfPvLS8RDQ/s1600/L24.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGSIsL4pkXhUs4boznO9DBxe-N4GpxIJWHKIZaB_RuapIftFe-AtkEL-iKVg9P9syJKHKE3CPHptnamWL_jM0D45BLrTika66xWRsHR-S1UPQ3diLlATO9i8I8UfPvfPvLS8RDQ/s320/L24.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488878086946730706" /></a><br>Above: A sandstone portico, after a long bidding war between a trade and private buyer it was eventually brought by a private for £4,600.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguhievcWmbjWJYFjCzCQFOza0jgL1pcMBjy7HqWyPs0M9XBa4Ekhz1_c7bw9dtXOcXtZo_yTdX_jOK8UDjxF4cg2ulpjt3w0N-c5K_xWTIBZgTS9dNFvyRmzqvzpYx2Iux6hKu0A/s1600/DSCF2917-Portrait.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguhievcWmbjWJYFjCzCQFOza0jgL1pcMBjy7HqWyPs0M9XBa4Ekhz1_c7bw9dtXOcXtZo_yTdX_jOK8UDjxF4cg2ulpjt3w0N-c5K_xWTIBZgTS9dNFvyRmzqvzpYx2Iux6hKu0A/s320/DSCF2917-Portrait.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488880797959531682" /></a><br>Above: some of Drew Pritchard's items from the sale being collected from Tattenhall.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheRG9SsigCJzOG4bs4_kkdfxxHgQwDg3EkFjTp505HXYX3Xq4iV0dr-TxjdHSfAyvB2Xll3UPyVCcvhVny-4fOWTa7Wr9SCvw6r_z2TIqVsrMJNyXTSZoJpSJH2HpzKrggeTQ9RQ/s1600/DSCF2926-Landscape.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheRG9SsigCJzOG4bs4_kkdfxxHgQwDg3EkFjTp505HXYX3Xq4iV0dr-TxjdHSfAyvB2Xll3UPyVCcvhVny-4fOWTa7Wr9SCvw6r_z2TIqVsrMJNyXTSZoJpSJH2HpzKrggeTQ9RQ/s320/DSCF2926-Landscape.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488880693515345506" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPjNYCXb-PK5-SNlY3IBflrPH_QOAfjNT3z7unyYhYKaDNKpbg7oEdywEepoW83RtKWTWyVJfpnKNq_TWzhLdYx8uLAptGP0O5gCeJoaHLff9W4zW90ucnj6vCZIClPblcO1Xtg/s1600/DSCF2928-Landscape.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGPjNYCXb-PK5-SNlY3IBflrPH_QOAfjNT3z7unyYhYKaDNKpbg7oEdywEepoW83RtKWTWyVJfpnKNq_TWzhLdYx8uLAptGP0O5gCeJoaHLff9W4zW90ucnj6vCZIClPblcO1Xtg/s320/DSCF2928-Landscape.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488880565990596242" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3_ZnPxpkjTm2V1ed3DyO2aM_XEa-rGyIqkCXXhNks7tv3mFoSWbbjHmvRuNCvZqtlZ8nyRCVrqGnMAX4BWG-vaWO-7XBKCnQAXg-v3WGcuUaaieIaxeW-H4hX01xU6pPBFpwx3w/s1600/DSCF2931-Landscape.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3_ZnPxpkjTm2V1ed3DyO2aM_XEa-rGyIqkCXXhNks7tv3mFoSWbbjHmvRuNCvZqtlZ8nyRCVrqGnMAX4BWG-vaWO-7XBKCnQAXg-v3WGcuUaaieIaxeW-H4hX01xU6pPBFpwx3w/s320/DSCF2931-Landscape.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488880517557828770" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.the-saleroom.com/Catalogues/SaleDetails.aspx?eventId=2796168"><font color="blue">Richard Winterton</font></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.drewpritchard.co.uk/"><font color="blue">Drew Pritchard</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-50877687778007124482010-07-01T09:49:00.005+01:002010-07-01T10:52:48.065+01:00Spencer house excitement<i>South Kensington, London UK</i><br /><br />The potential thrill of the unexpected and the serendipitous defines the house contents sale. The Althorp Attic sale is to be held at Christie's on July 7-8 at South Kensington rooms with over 760 lots from the famous Northampton seat of the Spencer family. <br /><br />Christie's have scored the house, attic, cellar and outhouses, the result is a house contents mix ranging from the typical family silver, brown furniture, curtains, decorative paintings, to more distinct Spencer associations, like the duplicate family portraits and horse drawn carriages. <br /><br />Estimates for some of the more rarified pieces reach into the five-figure bracket, but there is much more that is affordably guided, including plenty of lots estimated at under £1,000. Christie's have managed to piece together interesting provenance for many individual lots, often aided by the inventory produced by Albert Edward John Spencer, the 7th or 'curator' Earl.<br /><br />The sale includes a number of grand architectural mouldings. Some fragments which are guided at £1,500 - £2,500 are attributed to James Athenian Stuart. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPeW2D3IcnvlbuAjnYPE_PXNSbcaVimA8Zp7LnfC3cKMvvk0V84_kLrdTSpdUa2bN9Y81beRnsMb5yllhzsRWDp0KbAiqnPjHXGS1ERFporpbAknD_GTGMLMWQLCHX83WuJRtEAA/s1600/d5335208l.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 146px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPeW2D3IcnvlbuAjnYPE_PXNSbcaVimA8Zp7LnfC3cKMvvk0V84_kLrdTSpdUa2bN9Y81beRnsMb5yllhzsRWDp0KbAiqnPjHXGS1ERFporpbAknD_GTGMLMWQLCHX83WuJRtEAA/s320/d5335208l.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488863386335674706" /></a><br>Lot 1002: A George II mahogany, parcel-gilt and painted door, circa 1758-65, attributed to James Athenian Stuart, estimated at £2,000 - £3,000.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/searchresults.aspx?intSaleID=22976#action=refine&intSaleID=22976&sid=1ae64a78-bb84-49a2-9570-0fbee6839d37"><font color="blue">Catalogue</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-37448294870477035142010-06-30T16:31:00.004+01:002010-06-30T16:40:49.429+01:00Fireplace saga moves on significantlyEnglish Heritage is facing scrutiny from Britain’s new coalition government over claims of a conflict of interest which allegedly saw it “abuse” its planning powers in favour of a commercial partner. English Heritage are currently selling self branded fireplaces, It is argued that its organisational structure is designed to protect against conflicts of interest between its commercial activities and its advisory role.<br /><br />Liberal Democrat MP and secretary for Scotland, Michael Moore, is investigating a complaint that the quango discriminated against specialist fireplace manufacturer Thistle & Rose – a firm based in his constituency – in favour of a rival firm licensed to sell a range of “English Heritage”-branded fireplaces.<br /><br />In a letter before claim sent to English Heritage’s lawyers, Thistle & Rose’s solicitor warned that it was seeking damages as a result of its losses. “EH enjoys a dominant position by playing a regulatory role as the body selected by the UK government to secure the preservation of historic buildings in England,” the letter stated. “Simultaneously, EH has the ability to compete for commercial gain for the sale of traditional fireplaces for such listed buildings. It is our client’s position that, from 2008 onwards, EH abused that dominant position by seeking to exclude the commercial rivals of its chosen commercial partner, Acquisitions.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bdonline.co.uk/news/fireplace-firm-claims-eh-abused-its-position/5001641.article?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LatestNewsFromBDonline+%28BD+%7C+Latest+News%29"><font color="blue">bd</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-13153764851837345982010-06-30T13:56:00.010+01:002010-06-30T14:25:08.176+01:00Gaze Architectural Salvage & Statuary sale this Saturday<i>Diss Norfolk, UK</i><br /><br />Gaze are holding an Architectural Salvage & Statuary sale on Saturday 3 July, starting at 10am with viewing prior.

Peter Watson says, "We don't offer perfection. We offer splits, knots, and character." The timber is heavily sanded, filled, and oiled.

The action plan will establish a new “challenge group” to come up with innovative approaches to achieving social and environmental goals in a non-regulatory way.<br /><br />Vince Cable said, "The deluge of new regulations has been choking off enterprise for too long. We must move away from the view that the only way to solve problems is to regulate. The Government has wide-ranging social and ecological goals including protecting consumers and protecting the environment. This requires increased social responsibility on the part of businesses and individuals."<br /><br /><a href="http://nds.coi.gov.uk/content/Detail.aspx?ReleaseID=413620&NewsAreaID=2"><font color="blue">Department for Business Innovation & Skills</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-47824729372991985122010-06-14T10:27:00.003+01:002010-06-14T10:48:59.173+01:00Organised thieves target England’s stately homes<i>London, England</i><br />England’s stately homes are being targeted by organised gangs who are stealing important porcelain pieces. With at least 21 major cases in the past three years, and a further 15 attempted robberies according to a leading criminal expert Dick Ellis, former head of Scotland Yard’s art and antiques unit. Targets include Firle Place in Sussex, where porcelain worth £500,000 was seized last summer and Sutton Park, the home of Sir Reginald Sheffield—the father of Samantha Cameron, the prime minister’s wife. In most cases the criminals seem to know exactly what they are looking for and spend only a minutes in the house.<br /><br />Dick Ellis said, "I have identified three gangs, who appear to be responsible for most of the 36 thefts and attempted break-ins. The first operates at night, removing sections of glass from windows, often with the use of a ladder (it may have been responsible for the Firle Place and Sutton Park losses).

It was occupied later by Mr. Thomas Regg, the bookseller. A view of this house drawn by T. H. Shepherd in about 1830 is illustrated in a number of books on the City of London.<br /><br />The house was demolished in the 1920s. Since then the facade has been housed in various places and efforts to reconstruct it in the City of London and elsewhere have proved unsuccessful.<br /><br />The elevation which was the upper part of 73 Cheapside was offered to the Trustees in 1975 who decided to lay it out in the Pines Garden rather than see the destruction of this fine facade.</i><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-f2eaxz5bCXGTy8pnsKAeX6jKC8Fj7mnNiAKgXVO7vjLeBmKzzfzruq1t_lkgebsV7fZo-bve6ncnzTlW1sDev0eEhBtRheUyPF9znj8uQ6UlbI27tLGDH3UaZLaJIENrdA4wnA/s1600/IMG_0927a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-f2eaxz5bCXGTy8pnsKAeX6jKC8Fj7mnNiAKgXVO7vjLeBmKzzfzruq1t_lkgebsV7fZo-bve6ncnzTlW1sDev0eEhBtRheUyPF9znj8uQ6UlbI27tLGDH3UaZLaJIENrdA4wnA/s320/IMG_0927a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480317053889343218" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbJ8my7nNNSkZZz2562qUbVEe-CijbpXKTZMDZgwuhRtPrgeY1ULTryJ4FXl11Ep3jCUG_o6Z8loFrhH1kSckqXPSaay65d5KtC37IeLimOZKh6NIwtl34YtjLVzzAHGh1l0pIKg/s1600/IMG_0926a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbJ8my7nNNSkZZz2562qUbVEe-CijbpXKTZMDZgwuhRtPrgeY1ULTryJ4FXl11Ep3jCUG_o6Z8loFrhH1kSckqXPSaay65d5KtC37IeLimOZKh6NIwtl34YtjLVzzAHGh1l0pIKg/s320/IMG_0926a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480316988619562098" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj819chJBge64Sei2Y-f_Vy355uM8ksmnoHvd3uRuFN7TEGp0VKGGhqbdZrKEtV5Upbk6ZeMY5qWmhd8TgSbEfKJoknPphN_XsQIrqfD3u7g9_4uIzBqySELIfFIz6R2bcRhwrRLA/s1600/no73cheapsidezl4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj819chJBge64Sei2Y-f_Vy355uM8ksmnoHvd3uRuFN7TEGp0VKGGhqbdZrKEtV5Upbk6ZeMY5qWmhd8TgSbEfKJoknPphN_XsQIrqfD3u7g9_4uIzBqySELIfFIz6R2bcRhwrRLA/s400/no73cheapsidezl4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480405261809525618" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pinesgardens.co.uk/"><font color="blue">Pines Gardens</font></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gardenvisit.com/garden/pines_garden"><font color="blue">Gardenvisit.com</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-80372846004733775792010-06-07T11:06:00.011+01:002010-06-14T13:43:00.882+01:00It's an International affair at Salvo 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCbeIxq-0ae6MRtHFp9SbkGOsEYDOZgTJVelEt_RE3qMxrhLrawodrMUd2UxBvtC-J7lq7bgHigkQ4rXQ8JMDzhbj4ZOdNz2z4pHvRIDl9yifzdE_tbcCgBOxbo4F7d6R8V5zSA/s1600/sf10esalvostrap.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 30px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCbeIxq-0ae6MRtHFp9SbkGOsEYDOZgTJVelEt_RE3qMxrhLrawodrMUd2UxBvtC-J7lq7bgHigkQ4rXQ8JMDzhbj4ZOdNz2z4pHvRIDl9yifzdE_tbcCgBOxbo4F7d6R8V5zSA/s320/sf10esalvostrap.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479979518309233730" /></a><br /><br /><i>Knebworth, Herts UK</i><br />Salvo Fair 2010 will truly be an international affair, with a selection of exhibitors from across Europe including Hungarian exhibitors Liviel Kft. They intend to bring samples of all their materials so fair visitors can understand the scope of their business.<br /><br />Liviel was established in 1995, "soon after democracy was introduced to Hungary," said Steve Amyek its founder. Originally the business concentrated on buying and restoring antique furniture, but as demand grew and the world increasingly acknowledged its environmental problems the company adapted and began to make antique style furniture entirely from reclaimed materials. <br /><br />"In our search for quality reclaimed wood, we realized the potential of dealing in all other types of building materials and as a result Liviel has been supplying and sourcing reclaimed building materials to the building, landscaping and private sectors for more than thirteen years," said Steve.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnpGspGMrRzLS0XlrV2__4xrrNwJon5R2cvjhpNKWIGfzJgBlnSmhjQfa1uafdYTTUpmk3RMT4OpBkW4iJKk6OKXJe78rTXdduIfps1t_aNo2MOfZuJ5KEtinHdn5k_fe7JURogg/s1600/1+20x20+800pcs+32m2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Creating little hidey-holes and secret messages, safe houses for memories and keepsakes." <br /><br />Elizabeth is very aware of her green credentials and consequently all of the packaging is biodegradable and the products are made from end of the roll discarded fabric and printed in the UK by herself her Mum, Aunt and Cousin. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxfm8EIWe7UngluCBTDnhP62mFeV_DZ-Yi5pK6hz3q_EYBV_TwS0N2OqT4moE4JtWgMj6v5quhdPXVNy59IquAu-3tUfMmNNQCMPViNFrpFMMKCvHaX7hHrSsnBP_oGq5li1eQg/s1600/tooth+fairy+one.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxxfm8EIWe7UngluCBTDnhP62mFeV_DZ-Yi5pK6hz3q_EYBV_TwS0N2OqT4moE4JtWgMj6v5quhdPXVNy59IquAu-3tUfMmNNQCMPViNFrpFMMKCvHaX7hHrSsnBP_oGq5li1eQg/s320/tooth+fairy+one.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479969973844821202" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNz7R2BMuOWdgXTdvZDkBCEV0oIggV-2tGE8PPUBXY6NamaiDXJ6TWe9RcHfymwvwYwhYR8kmUHVV4kQun48MbgyAHvF2kuDHgD-hgmGs1mobrSv7Ua9qJfuW-uf_DNfShrSNhQ/s1600/After_the_storm_ONE.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNz7R2BMuOWdgXTdvZDkBCEV0oIggV-2tGE8PPUBXY6NamaiDXJ6TWe9RcHfymwvwYwhYR8kmUHVV4kQun48MbgyAHvF2kuDHgD-hgmGs1mobrSv7Ua9qJfuW-uf_DNfShrSNhQ/s320/After_the_storm_ONE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479970219997769698" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitURkGyHd9TAhQzTWrHJVa9DNo0Z-UKDAqqpwx1EASIvN23jT-bWghfJYA-NcRnlhsEw85BizpOX_YXZseWBAqc9lfvK_A8KMjtxUD5URclK4FCi3sArVXIKUd6iYNFZd50SsVJA/s1600/lavender+scented+envelope.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitURkGyHd9TAhQzTWrHJVa9DNo0Z-UKDAqqpwx1EASIvN23jT-bWghfJYA-NcRnlhsEw85BizpOX_YXZseWBAqc9lfvK_A8KMjtxUD5URclK4FCi3sArVXIKUd6iYNFZd50SsVJA/s320/lavender+scented+envelope.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479970371385130258" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.inviteyourworld.co.uk/"><font color="blue">Invite Your World</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-75005989615626895492010-06-04T12:43:00.004+01:002010-06-07T10:43:55.019+01:00Baron yields castle after 500 years<i>Craighall Castle, Scotland UK</i><br />After 500 years the Rattray clan have sold Craighall Castle to Sassenach, a London investment banker for an undisclosed sum. He plans to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on the dilapidated pile and turn it into his own family home.<br /><br />Craighall of Rattray on the outskirts of Blairgowrie, has been home to 20 generations of clan chiefs but the current laird, a descendant of William the Conqueror, has been forced to sell his title and the fortified mansion of Craighall of Rattray Castle, which has been occupied by his family since 1533. Lachlan said, "It needs a lot of work. I hope the new owners will be able to restore it to its former glory and retain some of its atmosphere. I am happy that it has gone to someone who can afford to look after it."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/Baron-yields-castle-after-500.6329093.jp"><font color="blue">Scotsman</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-73512290434279380632010-06-04T12:22:00.005+01:002010-06-09T12:02:35.169+01:00Builder died on demolition site from a blow to the head<i>Poole UK</i> <br />A builder working on a demolition job died after a lump of barn wall 2ft long hit him on the head. He was working with his son, Jamie, at Dunbury Farm House in Winterborne Houghton, when the tragedy happened in November 2008. Giving evidence at the Dorchester inquest, his son said, “I was standing on the rubble facing the wall drilling right to left. Me and my dad were chatting now and then. A big lump came off, I looked to see where it landed and saw my dad laying on the floor face up on the rubble."<br /><br />Despite CPR carried out by workmen from the neighbouring site, and by paramedics when they arrived 20 minutes later, Mr Ford never regained consciousness and died at the scene. Jamie told the inquest he believed all safety equipment would be on site, but neither man was wearing a hard hat.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/8187954.Builder_died_on_demolition_site_from_blow_to_head/"><font color="blue">Daily Echo</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113637.post-16017424096609390602010-06-04T12:07:00.001+01:002010-06-04T12:17:39.565+01:00Brian Murphy's presentation 'Specifying Reclaim & Reuse'Brian Murphy of National Green Specification has produced a publicly available slideshow of points for architects and others to consider when specifying reclaimed materials.

The Alliance is a global public-private initiative open to businesses, industry associations, financial institutions and civil society organizations with a stake in legal forest product supply chains.<br /><br />Illegal logging is acknowledged as a major environmental, social and economic problem by both timber-producing and timber-consuming countries. Countries that are major importers of wood products have begun to address the problem of illegal logging and associated trade with a variety of laws and policies. The Alliance produces innovative practical tools to help forest product supply chains screen out illegal wood.<br /><br />“Some companies are not aware of the need to ask questions about the wood they are buying or the consequences of letting illegal wood enter their supply chains,” said Craig Hanson, director of WRI’s People and Ecosystems Program. “The Alliance seeks to build confidence that imported wood and paper products are legal. Done right, trade supports environmental protection and the Alliance recognizes the role trade plays in protecting our world’s great forests.”<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wri.org/press/2010/05/news-release-global-alliance-launched-curb-trade-illegal-wood?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+WRI_Newsroom+%28World+Resources+Institute+%28WRI%29+Newsroom%29"><font color="blue">NEWS RELEASE: Global Alliance Launched to Curb Trade in Illegal Wood</font></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.forestlegality.org/files/fla/report--WoodBuyerGuide--forests--oct07.pdf"><font color="blue">Forest facts</font></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wri.org/fla/"><font color="blue">Forest Legality Alliance</font></a>cghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08191954770500282013noreply@blogger.com0
