David Salisbury Company Blog

Going for a swim before work this morning provided the inspiration for our latest Blog post. Whilst swimming up and down at our local pool, it made me think how much the aesthetics of a building help contribute to our mood and sense of well-being.   

As the Easter half term draws to a close, it now seems like a good time to round up some of our latest news.

Whilst we continue to see an increase in demand for our oak framed buildings, kitchen extensions remain amongst the most popular form of home improvement project that we work on. 

We often get asked how far around the country do we get involved in new orangery and conservatory projects. The response is everywhere: from Cheshire to Cornwall to the Channels Islands, the chances are, there is an award-winning David Salisbury orangery in relatively close proximity!

Does Easter feel early this year? Being this Sunday 1st April, it is in fact only the earliest Easter for the past five years, when it fell on March 31st in 2013.
For those of you that like a bit of trivia, the earliest ever date for Easter was Sunday 22nd March way back in 1818 – this won’t happen again until 2285, some 467 years later! The latest date for Easter Sunday was 25th April in 1943 but we won’t have to wait quite so long for this to happen again, as it will fall again on this date in 2038.

Now that we’re officially into Spring and with Easter just around the corner, the clocks going forward this weekend ought to signify the end of what has felt like a long Winter.
Of course, some of the impending forecasts for more snow over the Easter holidays might mean we haven’t seen the end of the cold just yet, but the longer days and hopefully some better weather in the not too distant future will mean we can start to think about organising photo shoots again.
