Enjoy your picnic table throughout the autumn season
Picnic benches are there to be enjoyed throughout the year, not just in summer, which is just as well given the very short summer season here in Britain! Did you blink and miss this year’s summer? Well fear not, because there are lots of ways to enjoy your picnic table throughout the autumn season – here are some of our favourite ways here at Benchmark (http://www.benchmarkpicnictables.co.uk/).
Last snatches of sun – If we’re very lucky, we’ll have an Indian Summer this year in the UK, with practically more sunny days in late September and early October than the summer months. But even if we’re not that lucky, there are bound to be the odd sunny days and in our opinion those last snatches of sun are the most enjoyable. What better way than to enjoy those bonus end-of-summer days in autumn than an impromptu BBQ seated with your friends and family at your picnic bench?
A seasonal vantage point – Autumn is a lovely season in the garden. The light, albeit fading, is beautiful, the changing colours of the leaves create a different look and feel to the garden each week, and there’s the cozy smell of bonfires in the air. Wrap up warm and enjoy the advent of a new season from the ideal vantage point of your wooden picnic bench.
Nature watch from your own backyard – There is a huge amount going on in the natural world at this time of year, from the first rumblings of hibernation to mass bird migration. Don’t miss a thing by setting up your very own nature hide: simply push your picnic table into a partially obscured position in your backyard and be patient.
The practical friend of the gardener – Of course it’s not all sitting about in the garden at this time of year, there’s plenty of jobs for the gardener to be getting on with. From dealing with the first autumnal dew, to picking the last crop of tomatoes, the humble picnic bench is a great practical friend of the gardener. Use it as a base for all your gardening tools while you’re in the middle of jobs and save your back by doing any repotting or taking of cuttings while comfortably seated.
It doesn’t matter how you choose to enjoy your picnic table this autumn, just don’t forget its many uses outside of the summer months. Get more inspiration at http://www.benchmarkpicnictables.co.uk/.
