Whilst a great many of us have enjoyed the relative success of the England football team at the World Cup, alongside the long run of amazing weather in this country, it now seems we are reverting back to type.
Some rain has finally made an appearance, which is most welcome for farmers and gardeners alike, and the wait for football to “come home” carries on. While there are some certainties in life (rain and our sporting results), the other main event to dominate the news agenda this week is how uncertain the political environment now seems.

Whilst the country might be gripped with the various sporting occasions that are taking place, from the World Cup (is it "Coming Home!?") to Wimbledon, we’re really pleased to be in the midst of photo shoot season.

Whilst the country has very much been basking in a heatwave for what feels a while now, here at David Salisbury, it means that working conditions can become more challenging, both out on site and in our factory in Somerset.

Even though Oscar Wilde once said, “conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative,” as a country, we certainly like nothing better than talking about the latest forecast.

Here at David Salisbury, we have always taken pride in our team as a whole - with our recent team building event underlining the importance of effective teamwork.  So we thought we would share some of the fun from our recent team building day, which took place in the beautiful surroundings of Dillington House, near Ilminster in Somerset.   

There's something quintessentially English about tending to and spending time in our gardens.  Recent events like the Chelsea Flower Show and the warmer temperatures we have enjoyed in the past couple of weeks have obviously helped bring this more into context.

Whilst the ever-changing colours and natural textures of our gardens are assured, sadly the weather in this country is not such a given.
