Rise of the Gazebos . . .

In light of the recent heatwave . . .
A tale set in a hot, not too distant future . . . (maybe even this weekend)

No one knows when it actually happened. No one can pinpoint the exact moment in time when things started to change, but it happened. The warnings that were given on the news and printed in newspaper's across the country were completely ignored. All the advice on how to take care of yourself and others were classed as foolish and unnecessary dribble. No one cared. It was a heatwave. They just concentrated on the fun they could have in the sun.

The first signs of attack were told by the plants. In the height of July, the green leaves turned brown and limp. The ground become baked and everything died in the staggering heat. But still this was over-looked. The change was taking place right before our very eyes, and no one noticed, and nothing was done to prevent it. Life was ignorant back then.

By the time help arrived, it was too late. The sun's rays scorched everything it could. Vengeance was its way, and you couldn't fight against it. A Resistance grew, with a few, brave people wanting to overcome the blistering heat, but it was useless. All plans were torn apart by the sun, and the future looked bleak . . . until they rose.

From where they came was a mystery, but one thing was certain. They withstood the attack. The sun pelted us with its intense heat, its aim to destroy everything wearing less than a factor 50, but they survived. In fact, they did more than just survive. They thrived.

More and more arrived, standing sturdy and strong upon four legs, and soon we discovered that we could use the shade that they provided. It was as if they had been sent to save the human race from incineration, and we were thankful. With these came hope . . .

I've seen the future . . .

I'm buying a Gazebo . . .

It's like a HEATWAVE.....

The weather predicts a heatwave this week, with temperatures set to rise to 32degrees.

In other words, it's going to be hot, hot, HOT!!!

They've issued warnings on how to keep cool, and what to do should you become too warm - because us Brits need it. We're not used to this hot weather. In fact, most of us have probably forgotten what it's like to have sweltering temperatures. We seldom get it.

And of course, who follows rules. You'll probably do exactly what everyone else will do when they get spare time and nice weather . . . go in the garden and enjoy. As you know, we sell many things that can entertain you in the garden. We sell numerous pools that you can use to keep you cool in the sun, we sell gazebos if you want to enjoy the great outdoors but stay away from the sun's rays, AND we also sell BBQ's, did you know that?

We have, just landed into the docks and soon to go on sale, a brand new bbq. Check it out! It's swish-swoo with sausages and burgers on top . . . okay, and what the hell, chuck on a few kebabs, a few steaks, bacon, and a few bbq'd peppers whilst you're at it.

This means you can continue in your garden all through the evening too. What a a glorious idea! Just don't set anything alight . . .

And remember, be sensible in the sun . . . (God, I'm sounding like my mum!)

Glastonbury Camping

Well, Glastonbury has been and gone...and I wonder how many of you readers out there enjoyed it, with all those muddy puddles and wellies.

I didn't get to experience it this year, pretty much like last year and the year before, but of course I heard lots about it. Apart from rain on the Thursday and Friday morning - giving you all those wonderful muddy puddles - the rest of the weekend, from what I gather, was dry and sunny, defying all soggy laws of wet Glastonbury festivals.

Every year, almost without fail, it rains on Glastonbury weekend, but it doesn't stop you from pitching your tents and camping out for the entire enjoyable weekend. (I wonder how many of our tents are in this picture) In fact, some people probably rely on the wet weather just so they can splash in the puddles with their brand-new wellie boots. As long as you're prepared for this then the festivals should go `swimmingly`.

There are also numerous more festivals lined up for the rest of the year, and if you've booked tickets already for any of them, don't forget to prepare. We have many tents still in stock - and don't forget our new delivery due in soon - and camping accessories to go with them.

You can never be too prepared for a weekend of festival fun, music, and camping.

Multi-Purpose 105 Rucksack

Seeing as we are doing stock-take this week, and after a whole day off, I've come back and have dedicated myself to marketing work.

I've just been taking some new images of one of our rucksacks, the 105, 65l. By doing this, I was able to have a good look at what this rucksack has to offer.

There are pockets galore on this item, perfect for stashing items when hiking about the mountains or the countryside. And there are just as many straps as there are pockets, all adjustable. You needn't worry about being bogged down with gear, as this rucksack can fit it all, and no matter how big or small you are, this bag can be adjusted to fit you perfectly and comfortably whilst giving you support. It's great!

AND, we discovered, if it rains there is also a handy little hood that you can squeeze over your head to keep your hair dry. Okay, so what if this is the actual top of the bag, and your belongings get a tad wet inside. Who cares, right?! Your hair will be dry!

But a word of warning. Despite this bag having handy little loops that you can hook extra things onto - a marvellous little design, enabling you to take much more than your rucksack can physically fit - we, here, take no responsibility if you suddenly turn into the `Junk Lady` from the Labyrinth.

Be warned . . .
