January 2013 – Showering in soft water

Lyds (my niece) was sitting at our kitchen table the other day and said how wonderfully soft, silky and shiny her hair was after two weeks at her mum’s (up in the Lake District), and how rough her hair felt

December 2012 – Are hot showers bad for you?

As my year of showering variously comes to a close I am pondering two important questions. Should I continue for another year due to the clamour from my fans? Are long hot showers actually bad for you? The latter question

November 2012 – Showering at the Marriott

November 2012 – Showering at the Marriott

Finally, 11 months into the year, I have an invitation to test a shower. It doesn’t quite meet my fantasy of “being invited to try out showers both weird and wonderful!” as stated back in January, but beggars can’t be

October 2012 – Scary showers

October 2012 – Scary showers

Showering recently and mulling over what this month’s blog should be about I realised that with the approach of Halloween, spooky showers were really my only possible option. Of course the most famous scary shower scene has to be Psycho

September 2012 – Cold showers – A public health service broadcast

I went to Germany, I had my cold shower. But that was in August and my idea for this month’s blog was to talk about solar showers since we were spending the last weekend in September down on the Gower

August 2012 – Save money – Shower in London

Spoilt for choice about what to blog about this month. I have been showering in North Wales, Devon, Belgium, Germany and France. I had my first (and only, I hope) cold shower, and measured flow rates in the shower at

July 2012 – Singing in the shower

July 2012 – Singing in the shower

I thought I had read somewhere this was a New Zealand initiative but searching for it on the web I also found it in South Africa. Whatever, it’s a great little saying and leads me nicely into this month’s blog.

June 2012 – Gas or electric showers? The definitive answer…

Another day, another downpour is the new saying in the ech2o office. Still, every cloud has a silver lining and for me it’s the fact that the dismal weather means I haven’t yet had to brave the cold shower experience

May 2012 – Size doesn’t matter!

Or not when you are considering shower performance. Because then it’s the pressure of the water feeding the shower that is far more important than how big the shower head actually is. Hence the success of shower pumps in the

April 2012 – Showering with a literary great!

Off to Laugharne, West Wales, home of Dylan Thomas for a long weekend to stay in the house where he lived and wrote Under Milk Wood. Cue thoughts of using the same shower as a literary genius is a very
