The thing about having a garden is that it’s not just all hard work. When the sun shines, as it occasionally does in the UK, we look forward to reaping the rewards for all our hard work.

The weather has been dismal over the last few months so we are really looking forward to the sunny weather that is forecast for this weekend. We might even cut the grass!!!!

Even if you are a gardening novice you will appreciate how great it is to sit in your garden on a warm sunny day with a cold drink in one hand and your current read in the other. We are not pessimistic but we think we might invest in a good set of garden furniture this year. And a parasol to catch the drops of rain once we fire up the barbecue.
