Helen was hospitality herself, and opened up the living room and library for us to use.  She lit a roaring fire for us, and I managed to take a few minutes to take in the vast array of books, all very old, and beautifully  bound.

The shots outside are great too, it is not everywhere you can find such magnificent doorways, and Ashley does have an excellent eye for a good shot as I am sure you agree.

Mark was kind enough to bring his car along for the photo shoot, which adds even more class to the products, and the Sydney Cope range look, in my opinion, as they feel to wear.

Simply Stunning.

Thank you again to Tamzin as well, who clearly makes Mark smile.  Actually we all had a lot of fun!

Meynell Langley Hall is available as a great Derbyshire Wedding Venue, if you are lucky enough to be in love, and getting married.  It is available for hire for weddings or corporate hospitality, and the views across Derbyshire are stunning.

The term “blazer” is generally used to refer to a jacket made out of a fairly smooth, relatively lightweight cloth; this kind of jacket is thought to have originated in the Navy, and consequently you can still find blazers with brightly polished buttons and a badge on the chest pocket, although blazers have moved far away from this nautical theme. Blazers are often thought of as summer wear, and navy blues and brighter summer colours abound.

Sports jackets, on the other hand, are made out of heavier, tweedy materials that are suitable for autumn and winter wear; browns and greys are frequently found, and checks and herringbones are often the order of the day. Not surprisingly given the name, they originated as a loose, comfortable jacket suitable for shooting parties on country house weekends.

Nowadays, both blazers and sports jackets are popular choices when you want to look smart but avoid the businesslike tone of a suit. The beauty of both blazers and sports jackets is that you can wear them with almost any kind of trousers, even jeans. What you wear underneath these jackets is up to you, so you can run the gamut from knitwear to shirt and tie. That makes both blazers and sports jackets extremely versatile, and the smart man will do well to keep more than one of each on hand. Some should be more tailored, others more relaxed. Then you’re ready for all occasions.

So I was very eager to see what he had been up to when he recently launched his new site www.blinds-2go.co.uk 

I really had not realised there was so much to blinds either.  It is no longer a choice of Venetian, Roman or roller, as now you can get blinds specially designed for every room in the house.  If you need something for the bathroom, then now there are specifically waterproof blinds you can buy.

Perhaps you need a black out blind for a childs room?   It need no longer be a boring black, but can now be patterned. I very much doubt you will get the choice in your local curtain shop.

I suspect his new site is doing well, and not just because the country has turned to DIY.

 Have a look, and you will see why.

SuitsMen sells a variety of suits, all of which are mix and match to allow for various sizes. While buying a suit on the internet may sound unorthodox at first, it is actually a much wiser and more reliable way to make such an important purchase.

The number one reason to buy a suit on the internet, from SuitsMen, is the possibility of trying it on in your own home or office. Often, department stores and specialty shops adjust their lighting and mirrors to flatter the shopper, so a garment which looks great in the shop may not appear the same way in the office the next day, where lighting is dimmer or more harsh. A suit is a crucial part of a business  person’s attire, and it is of vital importance that the right fit and comfort are chosen. Trying on a suit on one’s own turf, so to speak, allows one the comfort needed to make an informed decision.

At SuitsMen we offers free shipping as well as free returns, so if any part of the suit is not right, phone our personalized customer service for advice. We offer a wide selection of suits in all styles and sizes, up to chest size 60. SuitsMen is your best choice for purchasing a suit on the internet.

And speaking of trust, you can trust SuitsMen to deliver a quality product and stand behind what we sell. What better way to shop for a new suit than in the comfort and privacy of your own home or office? And why try on a suit in a drafty old dressing room, when you can do so in your office? We offer free deliver and returns, so you never have to worry about buying a suit you don’t like. Don’t waste your valuable time looking through rack after rack of suits at a store trying to find your size. We have suits in all sizes up to chest size 60, and a wide variety of mix and match styles to fit everyone. If you need help with your purchase, just phone for advice, we are available to answer your questions.

Look and dress the part of the successful businessman. Buy your suits at SuitsMen.
