BOWLED OVER

Ifyou’re looking to bring a little extra warmth to those late summer nights, then a fire pit or fire bowl is a great addition –especially one that can double as a grill for cooking.

The Wilstone Kadai is hand-beaten in traditional fashion from one piece of thick steel to form a beautiful barbecue fire bowl with robust, hand-forged handles. It has been brought to Shropshire (and beyond) by Christo, who started Wilstone in the mid-1990s as an outlet for the beautiful Indian artefacts he discovered. Now with a team of over 20 enthusiastic employees, the company continues to go from strength to strength, with new designs being created every year.

A fire bowl makes a stunning feature for your outdoor space as well as offering practical heating and cooking solutions. With the Gothic Stands you get the best out of your Kadai – use the Gothic High Stand for barbecuing, then transfer to the Low Stand to use your Kadai as a fire bowl well into the night. www.kadai.co.uk

Are comfortably?

Whenit comes to lounging on a balmy summer’s day, it’s important you’re relaxed and comfortable, so getting the seating right is key.
