Here at Watkins Plumbing and Heating we have a team of hard working Hetas and gas safe engineers that carry out all our installations to the highest standard.
If you are looking at purchasing a stove and are unsure of what to get please get in touch, we can do a phone consultation and see what suits you best or we can inspect the property and help advise which stove would be best for you and your home. We can then also provide a FREE quotation to install your stove and sign off with a Hetas certificate which is needed for home insurance.
If you already have an existing chimney we can supply and install flexible flue liners which connect to your chosen appliance, having a flue liner fitted allows the appliances to work more efficiently which also makes it a very safe installation.
However if you have no chimney we design and install a twinwall flue system to suit your property whether its internally or externally.
All our installations are smoke tested and lit in order to demonstrate the controls of your new stove to you.
On completion a Hetas certificate will be issued again this is needed for your home insurance, without this your insurance is invalid.
We look forward to hopefully hearing from you to arrange a FREE quotation to complete your home with a lovely stove.

Chocolate Brownie Clusters
Photo courtesy of Baking with the Cake Boss
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...These meringues actually have the taste and texture of brownies. They come from Buddy Valastro's new book , Baking with the Cake Boss. In their unbaked state, these cookies look, for all the world, like a genetic accident. By some miracle, probably related to his baking prowess and the marvels of kitchen chemistry, they manage to rise to the occasion and become something you'd be proud to serve to your family and friends. They contain just four ingredients and the dough, which is thick and gooey, is so sticky that it can only be dropped onto cookie sheets. You'll actually need two spoons to accomplish this. One for scooping and the other for dropping. I made two batches of these cookies, and while neither of my efforts looked as good as that shown in the book, they were, nonetheless, delicious. If you love the combination of chocolate and nuts you will enjoy these brownie-like bites. It is important to use extra-large eggs when you make them and I would suggest you spoon, rather than pack, the sugar and cocoa into cups for measuring. Sifting is also important. The finished cookies are not pretty things, but they are delicious. I hope you'll give them a try. Here's the recipe.
Chocolate Brownie Clusters...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Buddy Valastro
3 extra-large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1-1/2 cups powdered (10X) sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1-1/2 cups unsalted raw walnut halves
1) Position a rack in center of oven and preheat it to 325 degrees F.
2) Put egg whites and lemon juice in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment. (Be sure the bowl is immaculately clean). Whip on low speed for 2 minutes, then on maximum speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
3) Sift sugar and cocoa powder into bowl together, then fold into batter with a stiff spatula until batter is smooth and shiny. Fold in walnuts, until they are well coated with the batter.
4) Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper, using nonstick spray or a dab of butter in each corner to glue paper in place. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 1/2 inch apart, being sure each tablespoon has about 3 or 4 walnuts in it.
5) Bake until outside has crisped and bottom starts to pull away from parchment paper, 15 to 20 minutes.
6) Remove cookie sheet from oven. As soon as clusters can be moved, use a spatula to transfer them to a rack and let them cool. Enjoy cookies right away, or store when completely cool in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Yield: 18 cookies.

I made these a couple nights ago and they were quickly gobbled up. Very, very rich. These do NOT taste like they are butterless/flourless. I found it difficult to fold in all of the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, so after it was folded in just enough to not be "powdery", I went ahead and used the mixer to whisk it in. They turned out looking exactly like the picture! Smooth, shiny and gorgeous!
- January 11, 2012 at 2:02 PM
- Sharon Koenig said...
Sounds great! I made something like this recently, except without chocolate.
I think it would be better with the chocolate in it.. who doesn't like chocolate, right? :) - January 16, 2012 at 9:07 PM
We've just had this recipe printed in our local paper and it says just 1/4 cup of cocoa rather than 1 & 1/4 cups. I'm not sure which is right but I've just made them with a quarter cup and they were great. I made half the batch with cashews rather than walnuts and I think that they were also delicious!

Sarah learned her first 10 signs at six month and it made our lives much easier. Instead of screaming, she could tell us when she was hungry, thirsty, or tired. She learned another 50 signs by nine months and that was a blast. Now she is talking much earlier than the other children in her preschool and we think it is because of her signing.
We can't imagine missing out on all the little things she shared with baby sign language. Thank You!

San Jose Mercury News.
SAN JOSE, Calif.
Whipping out your smartphone to snap and post online pictures of yourself and your kids relaxing at home, or perhaps that pricey new TV you just hung on your rec-room wall, is like throwing chum to a sea of hungry sharks.
That's because smartphone images can be deciphered to reveal precisely where the photos were taken, which security experts say could lead burglars and other criminals directly to your front door.
Similarly, they add, posting images from vacation sites or your workplace could invite crooks to ransack your house while you're away.
"That can be sharing a bit too much," said Con Mallon, senior director of mobility at security firm Symantec. "They can then put the location of where you are now and where your house is into a maps program and work out how much time they have to pay a visit while you're out."
Smartphone photos are embedded with "geotags" containing the latitude and longitude. This data isn't visible to the naked eye. But when deciphered with the help of photo-sharing websites, various apps or other methods, those coordinates can enable someone using Google Maps to identify the precise spots depicted in the images.
That also makes the technology useful, for example, for someone with scads of photos who can't otherwise remember where some of them were taken. And sharing geotagged photos online has become so commonplace, many people hardly give it a second thought.
"I'm OK with it," said 25-year-old Roilo Escalada of Santa Clara, who is studying kinesiology at San Jose State and who occasionally posts pictures with his iPhone. "I don't have any stalkers. I feel safe."
Janisha McCoy, 30, who lives in Oakland and works at San Jose State, also was nonchalant.
"It's not really that big of a concern when you think about all the other stuff that's on the Internet," she said. Still, several people interviewed on the campus were surprised to learn their pictures could reveal where they were snapped, and McCoy added, "It's something to think about."
Indeed, geotagged photos have posed unanticipated problems for even the most computer-savvy people.
That includes John McAfee, founder of the antivirus software company that bears his name. After eluding Belize authorities, who were seeking to talk to him as a "person of interest" in the 2012 shooting death of his neighbor, McAfee's location was revealed when a photo of his Guatemalan hideout was posted online.
Adam Savage, host of the TV science show "MythBusters" was embarrassed a few years ago when he took a picture of his car in front of his house and posted it on Twitter, inadvertently disclosing to his fans where he lived.
Still another case involved Higinio Ochoa, a Texas man with ties to the hacking group Anonymous, who was convicted in 2012 of stealing data from law-enforcement computers. After he taunted authorities by posting a photo of his girlfriend's barely clad breasts, the FBI was able to track him down in part from the location revealed in the image.
Some Web commentators claim concerns about geotagged smartphone photos are unwarranted, noting that millions of people routinely post them without being victimized. Nonetheless, the National White Collar Crime Center, a nonprofit organization that helps police combat economic and tech-related crimes, has cautioned that placing such pictures on the Internet can be dangerous.
The military is worried, too. The Army issued a warning about geotagged photos after some soldiers posted pictures of military helicopters landing at an Iraqi base in 2007. Using the photos' location data, enemy attackers precisely targeted and destroyed four of the copters with mortar rounds.
In addition, The New York Times and Guardian newspapers recently reported that documents obtained from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden show U.S. and British spy authorities have the ability to view geotag data in photos uploaded to various social media sites.
Experts advise anyone nervous about others knowing where their photos are snapped to block their phone's geotag features through the phone's settings or with geotag-disabling apps available on the Internet.
"Is location sharing a bad idea? Yes and no," said Tony Anscombe, senior security evangelist at AVG Technologies. "I take many pictures and post them on photo-sharing sites so that others can enjoy them." But he advises caution, because revealing where a person lives, works or otherwise frequents creates "a risk that most would agree is not necessary."
Various apps can be downloaded, including one from http://pixelgarde.com, that claim to remove geotag data from smartphone photos. But the easiest way to prevent others from knowing where you took the images is to disable the geotag feature in the phone's camera.
How that's done varies by phone type, but it typically can be accomplished through the device's settings. With Apple's latest iPhone, for example, go to "settings," "privacy" and "location services," and then hit "camera off." That won't disable the camera; it merely prevents it from embedding location data in its pictures.
With Samsung's Android-based Galaxy S, click the camera icon, then click the settings wheel and the next two settings wheels that appear, then click "location tag" and disable it by hitting "off."
