3 outdoor settings for summer dining
Breakfast in the sun:
Nothing really beats breakfast in the sun on a summer’s morning.
A bar cart is the perfect option for catering your brekkie outside. Fill it up with enough food to satisfy everyone’s needs and then roll it into the shade after everyone has finished serving themselves.
An ottoman makes for the perfect outdoor table. Use it for dining with cushions as your seats on a summer morning.
A relaxing midday set up
Midday in summer is when the heat really ramps up, so it’s the perfect time to lie back and read a book in the shade. Set up the ideal outdoor lounge with a woven day bed and outdoor coffee table.
Woven furniture allows the background, and sunlight, to show through. It has an airy feel and is a good choice for a small space.
Romantic dusk dining alfresco
We’re lucky enough in summer not only to enjoy breakfast outside, but also dinner if we want to.
Set up a romantic dining spot in your garden with an elegant table and chair set and a few linen throws on hand, in case it gets cold.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
