HERE COMES SUMMER…

As thoughts turn to long lazy days in the garden or having fun on the beach, here are a few ways to help you wind down and enjoy the summer

Whether relaxing in the garden with a book, spending days exploring the best of Britain or hopping on a plane, we’re turning our thoughts to summer and how to best enjoy her long days and (fingers crossed) sunshine.

Melt have some suggestions to make the above even more enjoyable.

The Garden Room:
Pottering in the garden is a must at this time of year. The hard work is done, and it’s time to enjoy it. Our garden room has some quirky pieces to add finishing touches. From finials to pots, wasp scarers to wrought iron stakes, lanterns to outdoor lights – and beautiful throws to snuggle under. Prices from £5.

The Reading Room:
We’ve rediscovered the joy of reading these last two years. Kindles have their place, but you can’t beat turning the pages of an unputdownable book! Browse beautiful cloth bound classics such as Watership Down, Tender is the Night or Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca, or modern masterpieces such as C J Sansom’s Shardlake Series. There are specialist sections for history, gardening or cooking. And a wonderful choice for children – you’re never too young to read! We also run a FREE book exchange in reception. Prices from £6.

The Perfumery:
It’s time to switch your perfume to reflect the season. Come and try the wonderful Dagien by Ruth Mastenbroek or Ombre Bleue by Jean Charles Brosseau, it’s wonderfully ozonic and Mediterranean fresh – and there’s dozens more to try. Prices from £30.

The Clothes:
Proper comfort means leisure wear that will take you from home, to the garden to the plane – but in style! The CHALK range of leisure wear does all of that in elegant neutral shades. Prices from £28.

The Skincare:
The experts at MEDIK8, NOURISH, and Dr Hauschka have created the perfect travel size pots of skincare essentials. We even have a multi-tasking VIT C, moisturiser and SPF 30 in one FAB pot – and unlike some SPFs, the texture is wonderfully light and a dream to use. Prices from £5.

The Chandlery:
We have a trick that we like to pull in the summer. Pop a couple of our More (rose), Lavender or Wisteria candles in the garden and your friends will think you have the BEST smelling garden ever! Prices from £10.

Time to relax…
