Dave Musgrove Blinds to the rescue!

During the recent hot spell, 2 seagull chicks fell from next door’s roof. After a couple of days of being dive bombed by the parents I went to investigate. Unfortunately one of the chicks hadn’t survived, but one had. It did however appear to have a damaged wing. On calling…

Whole house refurbishment

Father’s Day present

I got a bit of a surprise this Father’s Day. My sons, Matt & Nick got me a personalised registration for my, still, nearly new van. The significance of the 59 is the year of my birth as well as being my age this year. Thanks boys. Meanwhile if you…

Sad Loss Brought Back Good Memories

I was sad to here of the recent sudden passing of former Torquay United stalwart Ian Twitchen. A wonderful servant to the club and one of the mainstays of the team my Dad managed in the mid seventies. This is a picture of that team with my Dad bottom right…

Over 40 Blinds in New Build

Perfect Fit with a Perfect View

It was a beautiful mid winters morning when I fitted these 13 Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds in Cockwood, near Dawlish. As you can see stunning views back up the Exe towards Exeter. Cheered up my customer as they had just returned from Australia, watching England lose the ashes.
