Wimbledon Season

It’s the fourth week in June so that can mean just one thing. Wimbledon is here! It’s the 14 days in the calendar where people can dust off their tennis rackets, find their whitest whites and meet head on the inevitable rain to rehearse their back hand and volley. Man and Van Wimbledon is committed to giving out the most competent and value for money service accessible even when SW19 is filled to the brim with tourists. Man and Vans, London’s leading light removal service, is grounded in South West London and truly likes to help its neighbours with any light removals they may have. Man and Van Wimbledon could be too tied up to enter the courts this summer but here at Man and Vans headquarters we’re highly excited about Wimbledon’s new Centre Court Roof. Although Man and Van Wimbledon will get down to work in the pelting rain, Rafael, Roger and Andy have never been too ready to face nature’s elements. It’s good news that this year there’ll be no need for Cliff Richards’ services as, from the 17th May, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Association has been using its new retractable roof. Health and Safety tests on the court were directed by none other than Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Tim Henman and Kim Clijsters, who savoured an exhibition game of mixed doubles as the typically British rain patted the roof as it retracted.

Have Camera - Will Travel to Thailand!

Thailand is one of the best places to take your camera. Why? Because Thailand is bustling with life. Thunderstorms appear and disappear in moments, festivals are practically a daily occurance if you know where the next one is going to be, market places popup seemingly out of nowhere, and general street life is played out in a way that lends itself to the camera’s eye. There are unlimited opportunities to take photographs in Thailand.

Thailand is a rough and ready place - full of friendly people, hazardous drivers, markets on every corner, and dogs everywhere. Even So, hotels give you a service that’s a couple of stars about what you pay for. In fact, no matter where you go, anticipate a friendly and professional service.

So who’s been there already? You want to see such photos from Thailand? Then check our photo gallery on thailandimpression.com. Our website features photos from all different types of settings in Thailand : from countryside photos, beach photos of Thailand, to sunset photos, photos in Bangkok and other urban photos, as well as more traditional photos of Thai temples. We show you our view of this wonderful country, not only via the lens of a photographic camera, but in manipulation of the resulting picture via photographic software - to twist the reality into sometimes subtle, sometimes fresh new views of what the camera saw. Maybe after seeing the photos on our website, you’ll think about taking a holiday in Thailand?! Even if for some unexplainable reason you felt you’d exhausted all the possibilities Thailand has to offer you, there are the neighbouring lands of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Malaysia to travel through too!
