I do love great lighting. Almost as much as I love cushions. I must admit I don’t have a stash of spare lights in the loft as I do with cushions though. With this in mind I’ve found these great…
Have you manage to spend much time in the garden this year? We’re overhauling ours and it really isn’t much of a nice place to be right now but hopefully, in a month or two, it will start to come…
