After last summer’s wash out and the coldest winter on record, Britain finally has the good news it’s been waiting for: this summer is predicted to be a hot one! And with volcanic eruptions and industrial action causing travel chaos, more people than ever are predicted to stay at home and party in their gardens. As a result, research by car and home insurer swiftcover.com has found that 120 million barbecues are expected to take place, with Brits splashing out an estimated £7 billion on getting a life by outdoor eating, drinking and entertaining this summer.
To welcome in the warmer weather, now’s the time to invite your friends, dust down the barbecue and throw an alfresco shindig. So grab some food, drink and plan a few games to really get the party started this summer. Just don’t forget to have a few umbrellas handy – just in case!
