This or That: June Edition!

June always feels like the warm up act for the summer’s big performance! The days are longer, the sandals are starting to make an appearance and there’s a constant debate about whether or the weather is OK for a BBQ. To celebrate the start of sunny season I’ve put together a little round of This or That questions perfect for getting into the summer spirit.

Hanging baskets or garden gnomes?

Ohh! I love both but think I would have to go for the gnomes, especially the fun, cheeky looking kind. I keep thinking about buying a few for the garden but my family keep talking me out of it.

Deckchair snooze or hammock nap?

A hammock nap for sure! I wish I had somewhere to hang one, I do love the idea of them. They seem so much more relaxing than sitting in a deckchair.

Watering plants or mowing the lawn?

Watering the plants, definitely! I hate mowing the lawn, that is my fellas job and mine is to deal with the plants and I do love watering them.

Making daisy chains or playing swingball?

It depends on how energetic I am feeling. I think I will go for making daisy chains. It reminds me of being a child and sitting on the school field at break time with my friends making them. My family for sure would choose swingball! It is such fun!

June rain or surprise heatwave?

I will take the rain for June as long as we get a little bit of heat in the following months.

Pimm’s in the garden or cider at the pub?

Cider at the pub, yes please! I am not a fan of Pimm's. I know it's a real summer thing but it isn't for me.

Strawberries & cream or scones with jam & cream?

Strawberries and cream! Especially when the tennis is on the TV, it's such a British thing eating strawberries and watching Wimbledon.

Day at the beach or picnic in the park?

I would love a day at the beach, it seems such a long time since we went to one. The nearest beach to us is either a bus and train ride or 3 buses away. We are determined to go during the summer though.

Paddling in the sea or rock pooling?

I like a paddle in the sea. Rock pooling makes me anxious, the rocks are always so slippy and the little critters hiding in the rocks scare me. My girls do love it though.

Seaside arcade fun or fairground rides?

A seaside arcade! I love the 2p machines and the grabber machines. Such fun! I am not a fan of fairground rides unless they are really slow one's.

Glastonbury on TV or a local festival?

I love watching Glastonbury on the TV, it is one of the highlights of my summer. A local festival is nice but they're always so expensive so it's staying home for me.

Garden centre mooch or car boot rummage?

I love a good rummage at a car boot sale. You never know what bargains you will find.

Caravan trip or camping in a tent?

Give me the comfort of a caravan any day! The idea of camping in a tent fills me with dread!

Flip-flops or comfy sandals?

Comfy sandals, I have never been able to find a comfortable pair of flip flops!
