Summer finally seems to have landed and on this week’s podcast Sophie and Kate discuss outdoor living. Kate is firmly of the opinion that you should take the indoors outdoors for true comfort. Kate wants armchairs, sofas and real crockery, while Sophie likes throwing a few rugs on the grass and a big pile of cushions.
