THE bank holiday weekend is fast approaching and for many of us we’ll be wanting to spend time enjoying the great outdoors, whether that be with a BBQ or a nice long walk. 

The weather this month has been particularly hit or miss, with some gloriously sunny spells and a fair few grey days. 

Unfortunately the weather this weekend isn’t looking like much to write home about, but hopefully it will stay nice and dry for us to enjoy an al-fresco meal in the garden.
