Eggs were always thought to be special because although they do not seem alive, they have life within them especially at springtime when chicks hatch out. Long ago people gave gifts of eggs carved from wood or precious stones. The first sweet eggs that were eaten…

What is a straight stairlift? It is stairlift which runs on one straight piece of rail/track (hence its name).
