Goodness me, how are we halfway
through the year already? But at least
now summer is well and truly here we
can start really enjoying life alfresco.
In this month’s issue we’re embracing
the summer (and praying for a
heatwave), with lots of ideas to help
you enjoy spending more time
outdoors and some inspiring ways
to fill your interiors with sunshine
and colour.
If you love gathering your family and
friends round for a get-together in the
garden, then you’ll love our ideas on
page 38. From a funky tropical party vibeto a grown-up soirée
we’ve got plenty of ideas for decorating your outdoor spaceto
make it the ultimate place to spend time this summer.
And, if you’re looking for ideas to feed your guests, then check out this
month’s mouth-watering recipes. God of the grill, DJ BBQ, shares his
favourite burger recipeswith us on
page 96, while curry aficionado Dan
Toombs has some fantastic ways to
give veggie dishes an Indian
spin on the barbecue (p.100).
If you want to bring some sunny
colours into your home, then check out
our ever-so-easy paint effectson page 44. Meanwhile, over
on page 22, we head to the Med to find inspiration from their
bold patterns and rustic
textures to transport your
rooms to sunnier climes
whatever the weather.
And, if you fancy exchanging
your home for one in the sun,

house swapon p.16.Editor-in-Chief Anna-Lisa De’Ath Associate Editor Lisa Hibberd Executive Editor Lara Berry Lifestyle Editor Laura Higgins
