Use Your Garden All Year With a Log Cabin
20 September 2013 - Joanna Hazelton
Karaoke machine, poker table, bar, sofas, soft lighting….
I’m not describing my night out with the girls last Saturday. No. All of this can be found at the bottom of my next door neighbour’s garden. Yes, he has had a log cabin built and the local hot spot is now by the back gate at number 12.
Midlife crisis does spring to mind (I’m anticipating a smoke machine and pole dancers next) but as long as I get an invite I’m not complaining – although perhaps the neighbours will once they’ve heard my rendition of Mama Mia…
Alfresco Dining Caveman Style
10 August 2013 - Joanna Hazelton
We invested in our first firepit barbecue at the beginning of the summer and I can safely say the inner caveman has definitely come to the surface in my husband over the last couple of months.
Not the throwing me over his shoulder or preference for walking around naked – that’s always been a given.
No, he’s resorted to the stereotype hunter gatherer and chief cooker of meat (well, soya actually – he’s a vegetarian caveman so slightly against type).

Summer’s finally here! No wait, it’s gone again, no it’s here! It’s finally starting properly! Wait, no, that was just a sunny spell… okay how about now? No, too soon. My point is, summer is going to start any second now and when it does you want to be ready, and that means it’s time to get out in the garden and start soaking up the sun with a few close friends, relatives, acquaintances and anyone you know who’s going to bring beer.
So to make sure that your garden party goes off with a bang, here are a few essential hints.
So What Type of Garden Furniture is Best For You?
5 June 2013 - Joanna Hazelton
Now, who doesn’t love sitting in their garden on a hot, summer’s day? Long, lazy lunches in the sun, a spot of alfresco dining on a warm evening (I don’t remember what that’s like, I hear you cry!). Oh yea of little faith. Just sit tight and think positive….it’s that or hibernation!
With all these days of lazing in the sun ahead, what type of garden furniture should you choose? Wood, metal, rattan, plastic, stone? That is the question.
And that’s where I hope I can help.
