These beautiful summer evenings are perfect for eating outdoors and soaking up the English weather, so here are a few handy ideas on how to make the most of your outdoor space and enjoy some summer dining.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Urban jungle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This gorgeous home in Antwerp uses a converted conservatory as an outdoor eating area. The wild, jungle-like plants add an exotic feel to the space, and it&#8217;s a cool place to sit out on a hot summer&#8217;s day. Perfect for an early morning breakfast or brunch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jungle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2652\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jungle.jpg\" alt=\"urban jungle\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jungle.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/jungle-333x500.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allitemsloaded.com\/item\/2013-06\/65\/urban-jungle-in-antwerp#.U9TwRUD_pEM\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Modern<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love this big, chunky wooden table and the monochrome decor. It gives this setting a contemporary look and would be the perfect place to relax on a warm evening. It&#8217;s always a good idea to ensure there&#8217;s shade near your eating area, so under a tree is ideal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2654\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic1.jpg\" alt=\"modern\" width=\"477\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic1.jpg 477w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic1-373x500.jpg 373w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"style-files.com\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Rustic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a simple idea that works really well if you have a lot of space in your garden. A big, rustic farmers table is in vogue this year, and the great thing is they can fit loads of family and friends around it. The rustic look means you don&#8217;t have to worry about place mats or coasters as a stain on the table works with the wood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2655\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic2.jpg\" alt=\"rustic\" width=\"477\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic2.jpg 736w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic2-333x500.jpg 333w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/rustic2-681x1024.jpg 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"www.stylemepretty.com\/living\/2014\/04\/09\/farm-to-table-entertaining\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Back to nature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you don&#8217;t have much outdoor space, why not have a romantic meal in a nearby park or forest? You could drive down with a fold up table and eat there. I like the use of an old sheet for shade, and the cluttered tables and chairs are adorable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/outdoors.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2657\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/outdoors.jpg\" alt=\"nature table\" width=\"450\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/outdoors.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.loomandlast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/outdoors-342x500.jpg 342w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gardenhomeandparty.com\/category\/entertaining\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">p<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For one week of the year it&#8217;s warm enough in England to walk around without a jacket in the evening, so it&#8217;s important we take advantage of it.
