Those cosy evenings spent beside the fire during the endlessly cold winter months always seem worth it when we can finally say hello to the long days of the unbeatable British summer. It’s a rejuvenating time of year – early morning birdsong slowly wakes us from our sleepy slumbers as the pale pretty hues of blossom appear on the trees, our gardens are coming into full bloom too and the weather forecast is starting to look a little more promising.
It’s an unmistakably British trait to not only discuss the weather, but to make the most of the sunshine as soon as temperatures allow. We hold family BBQs, make our way to the beach and refresh our gardens to make them suitable for the long summer evenings. Despite the evident predictability of having a few showers and grey days dotted in between, those sunshine-filled days will always make up for it.
We dream of whiling away afternoons in the sunshine with a good book sipping on lemonade, venturing into the British countryside to find the perfect picnic-spot, spending the day at the beach with frequent ice-cream intervals and soaking up the sunshine relaxing in our own gardens, whatever their size. So, to celebrate the imminent arrival of summer, we’re introducing our beautiful country-inspired garden furniture range – perfect for Saturday-brunching, Sunday-feasting, mid-morning coffee breaks and impromptu afternoon picnics.
Made from a beautiful ecru-coloured synthetic rattan that is both durable and wonderfully understated, our new collection oozes rustic country charm. Paired with removable fawn-coloured seat cushions ideal for all-day dining or relaxing, they’re resistant to sun, mildew, heat and moisture too (although it’s probably best to store them indoors when you’re not using them to keep them looking their best!) The wipe-clean table tops are all inlaid with 5mm of clear glass, while the furniture includes sturdy aluminium frames to ensure year-after-year longevity. Each dining set includes a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty too, just for peace of mind.
So, it’s fair to say we’re pretty proud of our new garden furniture collection – we feel it’s the perfect accompaniment to our equally beautiful English summers.
