This company specialises in insurance for static caravans, lodges and chalets and caravan holiday insurance cover from Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance plc.
The company provides extensive cover for all sorts of holiday homes and personal needs.
I first heard of this company when the insurance on my caravan was due for renewal.
When I first purchased my caravan, the site owners had recommended a company and we had taken out insurance with them the previous year for £213.96. This company had sent us a renewal quote of £254.16. At the same time I had a letter from the caravan park telling us of Leisuredays. Before I could do anything I was contacted by Leisuredays to tell me about the services they could offer and gave me a quote of £134.75. Obviously a lot cheaper!
They then sent me a brochure outlining all that we had ...
Advantages: Blended for use with soft water Disadvantages: May not be available in other places
Scotland is well known for its Pyramids, in fact in West Lothian we have quite a few, although I admit they are really called ?bings? a result from coal and shale mining, but along the M8 there are art projects including pyramids to brighten up the journey between Edinburgh and Glasgow! Seriously though I?m taking about Scottish Blend pyramid tea bags made especially for soft Scottish water.
Serious tea drinkers will know that the same tea bag or leaves tastes differently depending on the area and type of water. I used to love to get home after holidays for a decent cup of tea!
I stopped drinking tea with caffeine a couple of years ago but have started to have the odd cup of tea instead of my usual fruit infusions. And as I filled up the Tea caddy with bags I thought I must tell people what Scottish blend is like.
My box has ...
Advantages: Flavorful tea especially blended for soft water Disadvantages: Difficult to procure (in the States, that is), short of a trip to Scotland
"It's no' th' tea," said my Scottish friend. "It's th' water. Ye kin take th' tea home, but ye kin no' take th' water."
Hmmmm, well, I grant that most places I've visited in Scotland have wonderfully soft and pleasant-tasting water. Still and all, we also have very nice soft water in my little corner of America. We don't, however, have ready access to Scottish Blend tea. Fortunately, this particular problem is easy to solve--just fly off to Scotland often enough to keep a ready supply on hand! (Failing that, Scottish Blend can sometimes be found in the States at specialty shops stocking UK foodstuffs.)
You may think I'm jesting with this flippant remark about flying off to Scotland. I'm not. Scotland and I have been involved in a torrid love affair for just over a decade now, and I cross the Pond to this bonny piece ...
