Fruit Trees Against The Wall

Fruit Trees Against The Wall

Turn the apple 180 degrees and if it comes off the tree it is ripe. Rub it on your sleeve and bite it. You will never taste anything like it from a shop. Crisp, healthy, tasty and unbelievably fresh.


We all know what a commercial orchard looks like – acres of trees planted in regimented rows several metres apart. But not all orchards have to be like this; actually you do not need much space at all to create a small one. Any old wall or fence that gets a bit of sun will do. Apples and Pears, Plums, Damsons and Cherries all grow outstandingly well when trained against flat surfaces. Four or five metres are enough for an orchard with eight varieties of fruit producing enough to feed a family of four.


Choose your fruit carefully. For apples grow an eater that juices well – try James Grieve. Have an eater that keeps through the winter (Winter Gem is delicious and lasts until March) and have a cooker that keeps applesauce, baked apples and apple pies, these are all best in the winter. Go for Lanes Prince Albert. The best pears are Conference, which is an eater that cooks, and Comice, which dribbles down your chin all the way to Christmas. These two will also pollinate one another. Round your orchard off with Victoria plums, Merryweather damsons and Stella cherries that are all self-pollinating. There are your eight varieties.


Grow your fruit trees as cordons. You can buy these ready pruned to shape, or you can prune your own. Cordons are fruit trees that have been shaped to have as many short fruiting shoots as possible. They are planted 2ft (60cms apart) and so can be crammed into a small space. Generally they are grown at a 45% angle which means you get a 3 metre long plant that is only just over 2 metres tall – pickable without a ladder. Because they are so close together, cordon fruit trees make a fantastic screen. Show me a bit of rusty old chainlink fence and I will show you something that flowers its heart out in April and May, is an object of interest in June and July and gives you all the fruit you can eat for the rest of the year.


Cordons are the most versatile of the fruit forms. If you have not got four metres of wall or fence to spare, then try growing them (vertically, not at 45 degrees) on a metal or wood framed arch over a path in the garden. Grow them as a hedge that screens one part of your garden from another. It is probably best not to use fruit trees to separate your garden from someone else’s as you might only get half the crop!


Like all fruit trees, cordons like well-prepared ground that drains reasonably well. So dig your soil over thoroughly, removing roots, weeds and large stones. Add a bucket of well-rotted compost or manure per metre run and work it in well. If you are planting them to grow at 45 degrees, it helps to tie them to long bamboo canes at the same angle, which in turn are tied to horizontal straining wires. Always firm the ground around newly planted trees very well and make sure they are watered throughout their first spring and summer.

Once your orchard is established, plant a couple of the less vigorous flowering clematis to ramble over your fruit trees. These can be cut back hard in winter when you prune your trees and then you will have an orchard that flowers in April, May, June, July and September!

Why the French Love British Mattresses and Beds

Why the French Love British Mattresses and Beds

So what is the difference between French and UK beds and why aren’t the French up to the mark?

There’s an exact science involved in bed-manufacturing. A properly designed mattress should adapt to the shape of your body, not the other way round. The best made British beds and mattresses have a long tradition and design all of their own, geared to provide the best levels of support and comfort. Pocket-springing has been around for over 100 years and there is little doubt that the Brits do it best!

Over the years, British bed manufacturers have found ways of putting more and more springs into mattresses (and the bases underneath them) to provide better and better support for the spine. Couple that with the best natural fibres, for example, lambswool, mohair, silk, cashmere, and horse hair, which Mother Nature has given animals to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer, wick away their perspiration, and cushion them when they lie down, and you have unparalleled comfort. And finally, the best British manufacturers employ specialist craftsmen whose skills have been handed down through generations. You will often find whole families employed at one factory. For example, Hypnos Beds (the only bed manufacturer with a UK Royal Warrant) is still in the hands of its founding family after more than 100 years. You just can’t find better beds anywhere in the World.

French beds, on the other hand, are most often of a bed-frame design, with slats and a hard, shallow “sommier” supporting the mattress. “Matelas” are often thin, with a high foam content, or foam with a few hundred springs. They also seem to be either very hard or very soft. Either way, your back curves when your muscles relax, and you get up in the morning with back-ache that often takes an hour or more to ease. Not really a lit de luxe (luxury bed) and a refreshing nights sleep!

If you compare these French mattresses with a few hundred springs with a British bed from Hypnos or Relyon (arguable the best bed manufactures in the world) we can see the difference in quality. For example the Hypnos Eminence boasts over 2000 independently pocketed-springs in the kingsize mattress which is upholstered with pure cotton felt, hand-teased white hair, cashmere, silk and lambswool. The three rows of genuine hand side-stitching to the mattress borders ensure greater edge-to-edge support.

Another example would be The Relyon Emperor which has over 3400 pocketed springs in the kingsize mattress, which is upholstered with cotton felt, lambswool, hand-teased merino wool, cashmere, mohair, and horse hair. Its five rows of hand stitching provide the greatest edge-to edge support possible. The mattress is supported by a deep divan with 1000 pocketed springs and a further two rows of hand side-stitching.

Why British expats miss British beds so much when they move to France? Is it the textures/quality/comfort/style/price? Don’t the French traditionally have beautiful furniture?

Apart from the vastly superior support and comfort we’ve already mentioned, many Brits love the traditional “divan” styling which is hard to find among in French beds! Of course, French wooden beds and cabinet-making is absolutely beautiful, but it’s a completely different concept. Part of the “tradition” of a divan bed (or “box-spring” as our American customers call it) is the joy of dressing it with fabulous bed linen, although some modern divans are being offered with choices of fabrics so that they can integrate even more into you own bedroom design. And then, of course, the opportunity to have drawers fitted into the divan-base is so convenient, particularly in cupboard-less apartments!

Delivering to expats in France and providing the very best pocket sprung mattresses, divans and bedsteads from Relyon and Hypnos to almost anywhere in the world. We can be contacted for advice and guidance at British Beds or email directly at British Beds Delivery Service

London and 3D Visualisation – A Fast-Paced Technology in a Fast-Paced City

London and 3D Visualisation – A Fast-Paced Technology in a Fast-Paced City

The fast-changing field of computer graphics is used by a wide variety of different industries to promote diverse products. Most recently, these have been using the latest developments in the long history of the technology, 3D visualisation. London has plenty of companies specialising in 3D visualisation, whether in particular fields or developing a versatile service with expertise in several different areas. 3D visualisation can be used to showcase images as diverse as an architects’ masterpiece, a smoothie packet, or a BMW. However, architecture work and interior imaging are especially likely to use 3D visualisation, to give a clear picture of a large-scale scene. Working in 3D, images which would usually be flat and dull can jump out at a client’s audience, through a large or small screen.

The science of visualisation, allowing ideas to be conveyed by representative images, is a very old one. It’s typically been achieved through illustration, and gradually innovations have been developed to make the eye understand a reproduced image as well as one in front of it. Since da Vinci, artists have used a variety of techniques – including central perspective, and cartography techniques – in order to produce a realistic image. Nowadays, science is moving much faster to quickly develop computer graphics, in order to produce a virtual reality often more perfect and beautiful than the product as seen through normal regard. Visualisation works through animated images, computer created CGI images, and more recently, 3D effects, which allow a fully rounded image to be seen on a flat screen. The links between these modern computerised techniques and older illustrative innovations has been outlined by Edward Tufte in two critically acclaimed books.

For a long time, computer graphics visualisation was used to study scientific problems, and for educational purposes. It’s been used in all kinds of high-tech environments, and showcased in various conferences and special publications. Now, however, 3D visualisation can be accessed by any client, for websites which look both aesthetically pleasing and professionally cutting-edge. Within the sciences and educational purposes, 3D visualisation has often been used to visualise an abstract concept, but for showcasing products, the idea is to highlight the superior quality of the product itself. Computerised product visualisation has replaced old-fashioned technical drawing. Although 3D CGI can of course be used to generate animations which help to advertise a product, and which do not represent actual products, it is also used to create engaging and dramatic images of new products.

For 3D visualisation, London is a city with a particularly high density of service providers. This is due partly to the high media and digital development within the city, and also because, like 3D visualisation itself, London is involved in a wide variety of industries, and has been the centre for technological developments through the ages.

For 3D visualisation, London is a city full of clients and opportunities, too. Since the days of Christopher Wren or Isambard Kingdom Brunel, architecture has continued to be an active industry in London, meaning that plenty of visualisation services have developed in the capital. The presence of the Royal Institution of British Architects (RIBA) has helped to ensure that London continues to be a buzzing capital for architecture, and so for architecture visualisation. Additionally, the high-flying offices of the Square Mile demand quality visualisation services for their websites. Various other industries, of course, are also based in London, and many are turning to the exciting new technology to promote their work. In addition, and perhaps most importantly London’s long history of involvement with media, running from the famous Fleet Street newspapers, means that it will always be the natural gravitation point for new communication developments.

Some companies outsource their work to other countries (such as China), looking outside the EU to produce product images using 3D visualisation. London-based workers, however, have the advantage of experience within the city’s industries, as well as being on-spot for emergency deadlines and changing demands.

James Marshall, Creative Director, wrote the Article ‘London and 3D Visualisation – A Fast-Paced Technology in a Fast-Paced City’ and recommends you Google ‘Dhub’ for more information on 3D visualisation.

Maximising Space in Your Rent Flat

Maximising Space in Your Rent Flat

Just because the only property to rent that you could afford was a small flat doesn’t mean that you have to feel crowded into your new home. Sleek styles of furniture, multitasking furniture and carefully chosen colours can make a small space feel like a palace. By following a few simple guidelines you can make your small space a very functional one.   

The style of furniture you choose will play a big role in how spacious your rent flat will feel.  You want to choose furniture that will make your space as functional as possible; this will give your small space a big feel.  When you live in a small space you must remember, less is more.  Large pieces will overpower the space while sleek useful pieces will add charm to the room.  If you choose a sofa that is too big for the area it will make the room feel small and crowded while a smaller sofa will add space to your room.  You may also want to try a small breakfast table instead of a large dining table.

One of the easiest ways to save space it to choose furniture that has more than one function. Using a small dresser as a bedside table is a great example this will eliminates the need for an entire piece of furniture. Another great useful piece is a coffee table with drawers underneath, the space under the coffee table is often wasted. And in a small rent al flat there is no room for waste. For very small efficiency flats a futon is a great way to save space. A futon can take the place of both your bed and couch. If a futon is not for you a loft bed will add a great deal of storage or can be placed right over the couch or dresser. Create more storage by using a chest or decorative box as a side table. Get creative and you will find that most of your furniture can have multiple uses.

Colour is an easy way to add the illusion of space.  If you are allowed to paint your rent flat you should do so.  If your contract prevents you from painting hang a tapestry on the wall, this is a great way to add some colour.  When choosing a colour, choose a soft hue.

If you love dark colours uses them with your accessories but avoid putting them on the walls. Dark colours will make the room feel even smaller. If you enjoy patterns on the wall pick a wallpaper with a simple design and using vertical stripe will create the appearance of high ceilings.

When you are searching for flats to rent it is important to look at the potential of the space and not the size. By following these guidelines and adding bit of your own style you can make even the smallest rent flat work for you.  It is all about using your space to its full potential.

Cannabis Addiction Harms You

Cannabis a plant that seems to give a lot of pleasure to the one who uses it but in reality it is a drug that sucks a person’s life from him/her. What might have come to you, as a little fun when you first tried it might have become an addiction for you? Cannabis or marijuana is an addiction that can be commonly seen in the youth where they think they are actually enjoying their life. Instead they are putting an end to their own life. By getting addicted to this they can get nothing but frustration and low self-esteem.

Cannabis was always common where Indians and the people from the Nepal were the ones that used it; all this had started ages back. However Cannabis had become popular in 70′s where cannabis had become a modern trend and many seemed to have got addicted ever since then. It was the time of flower power and the generation of baby boomer’s came to life.

The people that are addicted to cannabis are increasing ever since. Cannabis addiction has many dreadful symptoms, the unusual habit of sleeping, and many more. Cannabis is usually consumed in a rolled cigarette where the contents are put in an orderly position and consumed by pulling long breaths of the joint for getting a better inhaling sensation. It can also be consumed in a different way where people use to eat it e.g. a baked cake can be used in the process. After consuming this, a person reaches a stage where he/she can do nothing but lose all energy and of to a sleep that is nothing more than an unconscious state of mind.

There are many rehab centres all over the world to help a person by getting him treated out of the drug addiction, but this way of forcefully getting rid of a persons drug habit can make a person hungry for drugs once he/she is out of the rehab centre. An advisable way for proper cure for your addiction has to be the ancient hypnosis treatment. A hypnosis treatment directly comes in contact with your mind that prompts you to think of cannabis. Hypnosis is something that you can learn all by yourself by just downloading the mp3 contents directly from the net.

Mp3 downloads can help you in a great way to loose all your connections with cannabis addiction. Once done with this you will be leading a happy life without the use of drugs interrupting your life. Just download the mp3 content from the Internet and see a rapid change in your life and health.

Are Shiny Fabrics And Sequins For You On Prom Night?

Are Shiny Fabrics And Sequins For You On Prom Night?

Though in most cases you would think the type of dress you wear would be a personal choice, you also have to take into consideration the venue and the way others at the prom will be dressing. You do not want to be the only person there wearing a dress with a shiny fabric and sequins. In addition many proms today are adapting a less formal attitude about dress, so you want to know before you choose your dress the kind of clothing others will be wearing. Another factor to consider is the way you wear your hair – the simpler the style the simpler your dress should be which tends to eliminate shiny fabrics and sequins.

Another consideration when it comes to wearing shiny fabrics is the venue. If the venue is an informal setting, you may want to consider something less eloquent. Keep in mind that an informal venue can have a decoration in an eloquent and elaborate style, so you want to keep that in mind as well. The choice you make has to consider both the venue and the way the staff decorates it for your prom. On the other hand, some venues automatically scream of elegance and should be treated accordingly. This includes places such as banquet rooms in high-class hotels and restaurants.

Your body shape is something else to consider when you try to decide on whether you should wear a shiny fabric with sequins. Whether you buy a sleek or full style, you want to keep in mind that if you are on the heavy side a shiny dress is going to draw attention to your fuller bust and abdominal area when you really want to take the focus off those areas. You may be able to choose one or the other but you do not want to include both and draw attention to those features that are less than perfect. Thus, a full gown in a shiny fabric is acceptable but you want to leave off the sequins or wear sequins on a gown of a different fabric.

The key to looking good at your prom is choosing fabrics that will accentuate the shape of your body and face. Not everyone has the body to wear a shiny fabric with sequins just like not everyone has the body to wear a gown that is completely straight. The choices you make will determine if you looking stunning or drab at your prom, so you want to make sure you give a great deal of thought to the fabric, styling and color of the dress you choose. Whether you choose ankle length or knee length, you want something that looks stunning when you walk into the room.
