I walked to the train station this morning (which takes a solid five minutes tops), and by the time I arrived, I was sweating fkn balls — if that’s not a sign summer is well and truly on its way in, I don’t know what is.
You know what that does mean, though? BBQs, picnics and backyard bevvies are back on the rotation, baaaaby. I can already imagine the sweet, sweet taste of Zooper Doopers and potato salad in my gob.
If you’re thinking of having a shindig at your place this year — or you’ve taken on the Chrissy lunch hosting duties — only to realise that your old, crusty plastic trestle table is probably not going to cut it for much longer, let me help you, besties. Our mates over at Lounge Lovers are slicing some major cash (we’re talking up to 50% off) from their outdoor furniture range.
From plush lounge sets to weather-proof dining tables and accent pieces, no matter how much space you’ve got or what personal ~aesthetic~ you’ve got going, I promise there’ll be something in there for you.
