Heating - Quick Set Up Guide

We tend to have the heating switched off in between rentals.  We also feel it is easier for people to use the system in a Manual Mode, rather than the complex Automatic Settings (there is a separate Blog Entry with the link to these).  To switch the heaters on, please follow the following steps:

1. Switch on Heater Power Switch
2. Press the Central Button to switch between On and Standby Mode
3. Make sure that the M symbol is showing (Manual).  If it shows A, then press the Man/Aut button to change it to M (bottom button)
4. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the temperature, to the desired setting

That it - the Heaters work very quickly and you should warm up in no time at all.

Rising Ground: A Search for the Spirit of Place by Philip Marsden

A great book on Cornwall for those looking for some related reading.  Available in hard copy, or for the Kindle.  Why do we react so strongly to certain places? Why do layers of mythology build up around particular features in the landscape? When Philip Marsden moved to a remote creekside farmhouse in Cornwall, the intensity of his response took him aback. It led him to begin exploring these questions, prompting a journey westwards to Land's End through one of the most fascinating regions of Europe. From the Neolithic ritual landscape of Bodmin Moor to the Arthurian traditions of Tintagel, from the mysterious china-clay country to the granite tors and tombs of the far south-west, Marsden assembles a chronology of our shifting attitudes to place. In archives, he uncovers the life and work of other 'topophiles' before him - medieval chroniclers and Tudor topographers, eighteenth-century antiquarians, post-industrial poets and abstract painters. Drawing also on his own travels overseas, Marsden reveals that the shape of the land lies not just at the heart of our history but of man's perennial struggle to belong on this earth: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rising-Ground-Search-Spirit-Place/dp/1847086284/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1420017877&sr=1-1&keywords=rising+ground+philip+marsden
