For obvious reasons, this year will be one that most of us will want to move on from. The pandemic has brought about and accelerated changes that we could not have foreseen at the start of the year. Whilst looking forward might be preferable, we thought we would take a moment to round up some of our news highlights of 2020: a year when our homes and gardens became even more important to us.

As we start the second official period of national Lockdown, whilst it feels all too familiar to most of us, this time round the Prime Minister specifically referenced the need for the manufacturing and construction sectors to carry on working. As a British manufacturer, making our award-winning orangeries and garden rooms from our hi-tech factory in Somerset, this was an important underscoring of the value of this sector as a whole to the broader economic health of the UK.

The advent of modern glazing technologies has long since rendered the concept of older conservatory style extensions as “being too hot in the Summer and too cold in the Winter” as redundant. Modern orangeries and garden rooms are designed for year round enjoyment and so much more than just Summer or seasonal rooms.

David Salisbury’s orangery designs become an integral part of our customers’ homes and the room they spend the most time in. In this article, we’ll take a look at 10 designs that really capture the essence of year round enjoyment.

On what is the last day of Summer term for most school children here in the UK, thoughts usually turn to the long holiday period but this has obviously been anything but a usual year. With the challenges of home working and home schooling to consider, many of us have been adapting to new ways of working and learning new skills.

As Boris Johnson took his first daily press conference yesterday, since returning to work, much of the talk over the past few days has been speculation around how the lockdown might be lifted. Indeed the search term ‘when will lockdown end in the UK’ has been trending all week.

Whilst the Prime Minister noted we are “past the peak and on the downward slope,” we are clearly some way off restrictions being lifted as the press conference touched more on a “roadmap” towards a gradual exit from the lockdown.
