The weather has been looking up recently here in Greenwich, so I’m investing in a canopy, some solar garden lights and a really awesome BBQ. I spent last summer in the north of Scotland, which was beautiful but meant I missed out on the really long warm nights in the back garden – it’s coat time come sundown that far north, even in the middle of August.

Thanks to the wonders of the London property market I’ve only got a postage stamp sized area to deck out, but there’s a nice view of the Thames with only a slight craning of the neck so it’ll all be worth it when spring turns into summer.
