Smelling of roses

With all this extra time on our hands, our gardens should be picture perfect come the summer months

Go barefoot

There’s nothing so lovely as the feel of grass beneath the feet, but skipping from lawn to patio isn’t always a pleasure. If slipping on the flip-flops is just too much hassle, throw down a rug. We particularly love these ones, as not only are they super-plush, but made from recycled plastic bottles.
