With weather like this it’s crazy not to have your next dinner party in the back yard.

Not a problem if you don’t have an outdoor table…just re-locate your dining table and chairs to the nicest (and flat-est) park of your front or back yard for the evening.

With ipod docks,lanterns and a couple of oversized ice buckets your garden can be transformed.

And it’s just as gorgeous, if not more so, to do it for a lunch (or brunch, or afternoon tea…).

If you can’t entertain in the back yard because the weeds are overgrown, or you haven’t cleared that pile of old rubbish in the corner…then weed it or clear it.  It’s summertime, there’s a long weekend coming…get on it.  Here are some great images to motivate you…

And if you don’t have a dining table…use cushions, rugs and a coffee table.  But whatever you use…spend a minute…style it up.  You’ll love it and so will your guests.
