The 'Praying Moses' of West Nab


LAST week we had some fun with the weird, mostly natural 'sculpture park' at West Nab, above Meltham.


Replacement slings should be made from durable, quality fabrics that can withstand outdoor elements. The last thing you want is someone falling through the sling on your patio chair. The best slings are made from high strength vinyl coated polyester that is UV protected. Fabric styles and colors can be matched to high-end patio furniture manufacturers names like Brown Jordan, Winston, Homecrest, Woodard, Telescope, Mallin, Lyon Shaw, Innova, Meadowcraft, Medallion, Molla, Carter Grandle, Crown Leisure, Superior, and Tropitone, giving your patio furniture a new look and a new life for 2010."He always loved art and would have loved to have gone to art college, but he had to earn a living so he went into the mill."I might go up there soon and put another book there."But be warned, because many people have purchased a chaise longue for appearances, only to discover just how temptingly comfortable and convenient it is, spending far longer than they intended reclined in luxury reading a favourite book rather than doing the ironing or vacuuming.Objects - of art or nature - include an etched 'compass', a 'urinal' and a 'chaise longue'.But there are also modern, contemporary designs too, with clean, sleek lines, simple designs, and a whole range of fabrics and complementary details that provide a modern twist on a classic design.If you are replacing slings, it is likely you are doing an entire set of patio furniture. If this is the case, you can choose brand new colors in solids, stripes, floral or other patterns for your patio chair slings, recliner slings, or ottoman slings. Your pool, patio, or lawn furniture can be completely recovered for much less than it would cost to replace with similar quality patio furniture. If you don�t want to try to tackle this job yourself, look for a company that provides complete restoration, repair, or refurbishing of patio, pool, lawn, porch, and deck furniture. Companies like this can usually also refinish wrought iron parts that have rusted or corroded, or need to be recoated. These companies will pick up your old patio furniture, re-strap, re-lace and repair it so that it looks new, and return it back to your country club, back yard or outdoor area. Sling repair costs for a single chair can run between $100 and $150 depending on what needs to be repaired or replaced. This is very inexpensive compared to replacing a Brown Jordan patio chair that retails for around $600.The chaise longue is called that simply because there is no real equivalent elsewhere. The French designed it, and we've stuck with the name ever since. To be honest, chaise longue sounds a lot more appealing than long chair anyway. So many things in French do.It's hard to imagine a chandelier being anything other than decadent classical elegance, and the same is true for the chaise longue. But whether you're looking for a piece of furniture to lift or complete a classical, French inspired room such a an exquisitely romantic bedroom, or you're looking for an item of furniture for a more modern, contemporary room in order to make a bold statement of class, style and strikingly good looks, then the chaise longue is well worth a look.Left is Dave's picture of what appears to be a monk, carved in bas-relief on a West Nab rock."He called it 'Moses at prayer' but we don't know why. He wasn't particularly religious," she said.One the one hand it is a supremely useful and comfortable chair, allowing you to stretch out, lie down, sit up or slouch in any way you like or stretching out in the sun and reading your favourite book, perhaps with a cool Martini to hand.
