Crocus
What could be better than pottering around the garden on a glorious Summer’s afternoon, relaxing under a parasol in the shade or simply enjoying a barbeque with friends? Crocus has the most amazing website with the biggest choice of plants in the UK and everything else that you will ever need for the garden. We rather love their De Recht rose, which is why we chose it as one of our Simple Pleasure prizes.

Durlston
We love nothing more than a trip to the seaside so we're very keen to do what we can to protect it. That's why we're supporting the Durlston Project in Dorset, which aims to create a world-class visitor centre and plays a key part in the continued conservation of our Jurassic Coast. We will be supporting the appeal by donating mini packs, attending fundraising and community events and organising beach promotions.

The Queen's Arms, Corton Denham
Rupert (the landlord) was the bright spark who pointed out that we could pour milk into our mini-packs and eat our cereals straight out of the box - genius! He runs a truly great pub, serves the best pork pie and a pint in the land and has top accommodation rooms to boot.
Cheers, Rupert.
