For me, August is buzzing with the sounds and colours of summer holidays. Whether it be a month of madness trying to think of things to do to keep the kids occupied, jetting off to holiday destinations or exploring Britain you can always find some sanctuary in your garden or a well-appointed shed with a lock on the door and electricity connected to help you escape from the outside world.

Inspiration for this month’s colours come from a traditional British day trip to the seaside with sand, donkeys, ice cream and a beach ball.
