Are you looking for the perfect garden bench for your beer garden party?
Updated 5th March 2018: Well you’re in luck, because I’ve found the perfect garden bench for a crazy party in your beer garden. It’s called the Winawood 2 Seater Sandwick Garden Bench (duck egg) and it’s completely weatherproof, which means you can leave it outside all year round, spill beer on it, whatever the weather it will still be fine
You can also see our FAQ’s here.
This is because it’s made from a composite material that doesn’t degrade but still feels like wood. It’s also heavy duty, and I really like the thin slat design. Check it out anyway if you fancy a garden bench that won’t break after a few parties!

Keukenhof Gardens
The Keukenhof Gardens lie to the southwest of Amsterdam. I understand this because I was seeing Amsterdam with an aged good friend and his partner. He and I had discussed taking the excursion at the Heineken Brewery for days. Unfortunately, we simply had two days in Amsterdam as well as had actually missed out on the trip on the very first day. This was due to his spouse having damp hair because of a strike more dry, which meant we had to relax till nature ran its course. This was not a female about to rugged it.
I arose on the 2nd morning with visions of draft beer mugs in my thoughts. I recognized that I was in trouble as quickly as he walked through the door. He had that appearance. You know. The one that says I have trouble, yet am visiting try to make it sound like great information. The powers that be intended to visit the word renowned Keukenhof Gardens.
This was disappointing for 2 reasons. Initially, I had actually never ever become aware of the “renowned” Kuekenhof Gardens, therefore bringing into uncertainty the case in my mind. Second, the considering of the scales of justice were generating outcomes extremely for a place that encompassed words “beer” versus one that highlighted “yards.” For the love of God, we were in Amsterdam!
An argument took place and, certainly, I lost. Off we went with a day in the gardens. Oh, enjoyable.
As happens more often than not, I was wrong in my assumptions. In a long shot occurrence, “yards” definitely surpassed the “beer” alternative. The Keukenhof Gardens absolutely are worthy of the popularity moniker, even if you’ve never ever heard of them.
Keukenhof is probably the biggest collection of flowers I have actually ever seen. Situated on 70 acres outside of the town of Lisse, the yards are surreal. There are over 7 MILLION flowers on the grounds with Tulips in full display screen. The location was previously the home of a castle and accompanying lands, which provides you an idea of the format. Essentially, you pay $20 to go into and just begin strolling. It resembles filling in the middle of a landscape paint. The place is so big, you can rent bikes to place about the premises. To this end, the most effective time to go is in April when every little thing is in blossom.
Versus all my inherent male characteristics, I need to admit checking out the gardens outshined anything the Heineken Brewery might offer. I likewise really felt a hell of a great deal far better the following morning!
