This mix of pink and green is perfect for a lovely outdoor dinner with friends or family.

Don’t go out of your way to decorate the table as I bet you have most of what you need indoors already. Grad a linen tablecloth, some colourful plates and cutlery. Don’t worry if it mismatches, try to find a repeating colour or style and it will work beautifully. 

Add a few wild flowers freshly picked from the garden, candles and outdoor rechargeable lamps to soften the evening glow, delicious food and drinks and Bob’s your uncle! 

And for the love of baby Jesus, do not forget a couple of citronella candles or spray to share with your guests like your life depends on it. These pesky things are born to rain on your parade, do not let them ruin a perfect evening.
