We love June for summer’s long-awaited arrival • One of the greatest joys of June is to lie on the lawn. The ground is warm enough to prevent any unfortunate chills and the grass is sufficiently thick to provide a comfortable mattress. All around, the air is rose scented, warm and lazy with the buzzing of bees.

Your borders are laden and your vegetables are swelling. Ladies and gentlemen: welcome to summer.
