It has certainly been a temperamental summer so far.
One minute it’s warm enough to get the sun cream out; the next you’re grabbing your coat as the rain pours down.
That means you have to be prepared to make the most of the sun when it finally decides to shine again.
And what better way to celebrate than a good old barbecue?
