June is here and it’s time to get excited about the summer. There will be plenty of jobs to do in the garden but be sure to make time to enjoy the fruits of your labour too. With warmer dryer weather is the opportunity to treat exterior timber to some protective colour and while the paint’s drying, sit back in a lounger and enjoy the self-satisfied feeling of having done some DIY!

June’s colours are in honour of my girls turning 3 and 5 and one of their favourite colours, which is also a fashion favourite this spring and summer. Pinks from the Royal Superior Wood Finish range.
