The garden, DIY stores and even supermarkets sell us a dream of al fresco living although sadly the Irish climate hasn't got the memo.
I refuse to spend money on sun loungers, BBQs, pizza ovens, parasols and all the other accessories which promise to turn our gardens into a Mediterranean paradise.
However, I couldn't resist this string of solar powered lights.
Now, if only it was balmy enough to sit outside and enjoy them.
And, as has been noted, the clock doesn't work but it's too cute to
get rid off.
