AS temperatures take a nosedive around this time of year, don’t let this stop you from enjoying your outdoor living spaces. Arguably, being outdoors in the colder months can be even more enjoyable than in summer with less flies and mosquitoes milling around and the ability to just add another jumper or blanket to get comfortable.
Here are some ways to maximise usage of outdoor living spaces when it’s chilly:
Making use of outdoor living areas can be achieved with the addition of a pergola, outdoor blinds and a comfortable outdoor sofa and dining setting.
Gathering around the barbecue is just as enjoyable as it is in summer, in fact more so without the added heat of extreme country temperatures. It’s a great chance to experiment with roasts on a Webber, smoking meats and pairing red wines with said meal choices. Mix up your side dishes with roast vegetables, heartier salads than in summer and soup or pasta dishes that you don’t typically crave in warmer months. Designated blankets you keep outdoors only is a great way to keep warm in addition to using outdoor heaters. Thick and durable choices are best and make sure you shake them out to check for spiders before you use them each time.
So make sure you get outdoors this autumn and winter and make use of outdoor living spaces all year round.
