(ANDREW CROWLEY)

At Endsleigh, where the garden relates so strongly to the house, Olga is in her element: she has designed the interior and implemented various tweaks to the exterior. The inside and out work in harmony and reinforce the picturesque style of the architecture as designed by Sir Jeffry Wyatville.

The absence of change to the gardens from the original design is emphasised by leafing through Reptons Red Book for Endsleigh. You can see his watercolours of the original landscape with the overlays of his proposals which look remarkably true to todays views.

Repton did much work for the Duke of Bedford, especially at Woburn, and Endsleigh (a glorified holiday cottage) was maintained, but the design was left pretty much untouched. It stayed with the family until 1955 when it was taken over by relatives of the late dukes, including sons and grandsons. They together formed the Fishing Friends and shared the property.

The garden became rather neglected, but the hurricane of 1987 brought massive tree loss. This event, coupled with a realisation of the importance of the landscape, galvanised the fishing club into action. Members wives joined their husbands and instead of fishing, they were out weeding and restoring.

Olga Polizzi and her daughters bought Endsleigh eight years ago. The head gardener, Simon Wood, had been working there for 14 years and is now in day-to-day charge of the restoration. About half of the 60-acres of woodland has become walkable and are full of stunning specimens acers, cherries, cedars and more including fine champion trees. His programme includes restoring paths and removing much of the self-sown ash and sycamore that has taken over.

Simons favourite part is the Dairy Dell, a steep-sided valley of more than 40 acres, exposed bedrock and many fine trees. There is a stream running through it. The tiny model dairy was built for Georgiana a down-to-earth duchess who married the sixth duke in 1803 who liked to milk the cows. In 1910, more exotic trees were planted here, especially maples and cherries, as a result of the Duke of Bedford funding plant expeditions to Japan.

The garden has other striking areas, such as the hexagonal Shell House and Grotto , which was designed as a summer house for the display of geological specimens. The rockery and grotto have a central pool and a fountain, many beautiful pebbled paths and are connected to the dell by a serpentine flight of stone steps. Another extraordinary feature is a small terrace constructed from sheeps knuckles. These are intricately laid to form hard paving.Presumably, the duke had a thrifty side and lots of sheep. Now, using like-for-like replacements is illegal, so Olga has to substitute special plastic alternatives.

Elsewhere, a few minor alterations have been made to enhance the gardens for guests. Another adjacent terrace was all grass, but to cope with garden furniture it has been surfaced with crushed slate Olgas daughter Alexs idea, which fits in well.

Lawns have been reseeded and the 100m-long herbaceous border (perhaps the longest uninterrupted herbaceous border in the country ) that Repton designed has been renovated. When it was a holiday cottage for the Bedfords, a border full of summer flowering show-offs, such as delphiniums, aconitums and poppies, was perfect, but now other plants, such as hellebores and euphorbias, have been added to increase the year-round appeal. Historic watercolours of their former incarnation have been studied to retain the original feel, though.

The Parkersburg Fire Department now say the cause of today's Market Street house fire is likely due to electrical wiring.

Officials say there is at least $40,000 worth in damage, but due to the home's historical uniqueness and size, the smoke damage could be into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

___________________________________________________ A beloved pet is dead after a Market Street home catches fire.

The Parkersburg Fire Department responded to fire at 1702 Market Street just after 1:30 Saturday afternoon.

Officials say upon arrival heavy smoke was pouring from the first floor.

Chief Eric Taylor says no one was home, except for a family dog who died in the blaze.

Taylor says while battling the flames a firefighter fell through the floor. His injuries are minor and he was not transported from the scene.

Authorities believe the fire started in the first floor, possibly the basement.

Taylor says the damage is contained to those two floors, although windows were knocked out of the second story.

6Webs.com, the independent home security systems reviews website, releases their picks for the top home security system companies that offer cellular-based home security systems. Cellular monitoring has become more popular in recent years due to its wireless technology. When cellular monitoring is combined with a wireless home security system, customers have a 100% wireless system that cannot be circumvented by a burglar simply cutting phone or Internet lines from outside the home.

The top cellular home security system packages can be compared online at 6Webs.com at:

http://www.6webs.com/best-home-security-systems/

According to the Tim Smythe, the senior editor for 6Webs.com, "Each year there are several categories that 6Webs.com awards and one of the most popular categories is cellular monitoring services. Cellular monitoring appeals to a large amount of consumers because of its added safety and reliability when compared to traditional home security system monitoring services."

The award for the best cellular home security system goes to FrontPoint Security. FrontPoint Security is one of the only companies that the 6Webs.com reviews team found that only offers 100% cellular monitoring services. FrontPoint Security is a national home security systems provider and is headquartered close to the nation's capital in Northern Virginia.

Cellular Home Security Systems Reviews - Best Cellular Security System Voted by the Alarm Systems Experts at 6Webs.com

San Antonio, Texas (PRWEB) January 19, 2014

During a big move to a new home, whether its across town or across the country, it can seem nearly impossible to remember all of the details. One such detail that may be forgotten is the fact that a security system can be moved to a new home, with a fairly minimal amount of effort. This can be very helpful if a homeowner is moving to a location where a security system isnt present, or if they already have one of the best home security systems, and dont want to downgrade to the existing system in their new home.

The team at SecuritySystemReviews.com, a site that serves as a security system comparison resource, has created a list of tips to help homeowners planning to move a security system.

1.This may be easier said than done, since it could be too late, but its always a good idea to save the original packaging for a home security system. This is particularly helpful during a move, because it can help homeowners determine whether or not they have all of the sensors and individual components of the system.

2.Its important to let the alarm company know a move will be occurring. For example homeowners with an ADT security system should call the company, alert them theyll be moving, give them their new address and contact information, and set up monitoring services at the new location. For an unmonitored system, this isnt necessary, of course. Its also helpful to contact the security company because they can answer questions, guide the process, and many top alarm companies also have moving packets, which have handy essentials to make the move easier.

3.Turn off the systems back-up battery during a move. Many homeowners turn off the initial power supply, but forget the backup battery, so it switches on and the power is drained during the move. The backup battery is important in case of a power outage.

4.Once arriving at a new home, the home alarm system reinstallation should take priority. Many thieves will target a home where they see moving boxes waiting for trash pickup, so its best to not have even one night in a new home without the alarm system installed.

Its unfortunate that many homeowners neglect to take their security system with them during a move. It can save a lot of money, and its not a difficult procedure, and it can have big future benefits.
