If you buy one thing this summer...

Finding suitable garden furniture is such a difficult task. Will it be waterproof, windproof, look pretty, fit in your garden? So many issues need addressing! Therefore I have given up, and am just buying one piece of garden furniture this summer: this deckchair from Burford Garden Company.  It's easily portable, in case it rains, stylish and comfortable. What more could you ask for?

And it has strawberries on! The chair is made by designers Thornback & Peel and features a solid hardwood frame and 100% cotton sling. If strawberries aren't your thing, there is a lovely Rabbit and Cabbage print chair too. Both are £130, much cheaper than forking out for a whole set of table and chairs don't you think? Anyone who wants to join me in the garden will just have to buy their own chair.
