THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Blue skies, rays of sunshine and cheerful displays of sweetly scented blooms are sure to raise the spirits and invigorate all the senses. Even if it is just to a sunny spot in the garden, decamp somewhere peaceful, armed with a delicious picnic of favourite treats, plump cushions and perhaps a deckchair to while away the afternoon. Take the time to savour the simple pleasures of being outside – feel grass between the toes, the sun on cheeks and a gentle breeze in the air, as birds chirp and bees buzz. Vintage deckchair frame, £135, and cover, £30; Indian Summer picnic mat, £78, and all other textiles, Susie Watson Designs Handmade Home collection
