DON’T let the sun set on your al fresco evenings.
As the weather gets warmer, we all want to spend as much time outside as possible.

My garden light deals and DIY hacks mean you can enjoy being outdoors long into the night . . .
GET IN MOOD: Set the mood with a fabulous LED colour-changing, globe-shaped light from Dunelm.
It’s battery-operated, so you don’t have to worry about messy wires creating a trip hazard or cluttering up your garden. Even better, it’s just £6.
LIGHT UP, LIGHT UP: Make your outdoor space safe and attractive with Sainsbury’s copper wire tube LED solar light for £12.
It is powered by the sun, which will help save on energy bills. They come with spikes you can fix in the ground, so you can illuminate paths with ease.
MAKE YOUR OWN: You can create your own lights for a fraction of the cost by dropping tea lights into glass holders.
Don’t spend money on your containers, instead wash and re-use items from your everyday shopping such as jam jars or glass dessert ramekins.
The tea lights can be cheap as chips. For instance, Wilko sells packs of 100 for just £3.50.

SPIKE UP YOUR LIGHT: I love Lidl’s Livarno home solar garden lights at £4.99 for a pack of five.
Also solar-powered, the nifty lights run for up to eight hours when fully charged.
They’ll automatically switch on at dusk, but you can switch them off manually when you’re heading in.
FESTIVE FREEBIES: Who doesn’t love fairy lights in the garden? But before you splash the cash, check whether your Christmas tree lights are suitable for outdoor use.
Many are battery-powered and can be wound around your garden foliage, just as easily as they went on the tree in December.
Saves you from buying twice, and means you get the benefit all year round.
