Sunday in Scotland.

7/14/2015

On Sunday I had the pleasure of visiting North Berwick in Scotland to fit a reconditioned L/H Singlo for Earth Matters, meeting the proprietor Richard in the process. I chose to attend on a Sunday as Earth Matters is closed and therefore working on the Singlo would have the least impact on Richards trade. 

It was rather a long journey for me of 600 miles round trip, but I took my Father along for the company.

Earth Matters is a Fair Trade and Eco shop situated on the High Street right across from Abbey Church in the centre of North Berwick. If anyone gets the chance to visit this area of the world I can thoroughly recommend both North Berwick and Earth Matters as a splendid place to visit.

For Richard the Earth really does matter, choosing to have his Singlo repaired and serviced rather than have a modern inferior floor closer fitted. By choosing this option Richard and Earth Matters has importantly stopped the necessity for the manufacture of yet another 'throw away' floor closer and all that this entails for the environment.

We are delighted with the end result - a refurbished door-closer, working properly for the first time in years! We were beginning to despair after several local tradesmen had come and shook their heads, muttering "Never seen anything like that before." Thanks to Google, we found the professionals, and within two weeks it was all fixed, despite the travelling distance. A really good service - thanks again.

    As there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog.
