About Me
- Susan Harwood
- It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!

I love shutters - brightly painted with cut-out hearts. There's something incredibly joyous in throwing open the shutters and letting in the fresh air in the morning.
But our windows aren't designed for shutters, are they?

I lived in Switzerland for a while and had just those kind of shutters - cut-out hearts and all.
But the trouble with those is that they are on the outside - so you have to open the window to get at them and that lets the heat out. (You also need sash windows or casements that open inwards.)
No, I was meaning the less flamboyant, old fashioned British shutters that are on the inside. When not in use, they fold back, concertina-wise, against the wall on either side of the sill.
(Sometimes, there's even a space for them to fold into, within the wall cavity.)
I don't see why they couldn't be fitted for use with ready existing windows . . . but wouldn't it also make sense to fit them as 'standard' when new houses are built?
