0:00.0	This ad is brought to you by Fevertree. The summer is finally coming and I'm thinking
0:12.6	of long light evenings, friends in the garden and summer cocktails. Oh yes, I hear you
0:18.1	but making cocktails at home is a bit of a faff, don't you think? I might just have a

1:44.4	tiny awkward spaces to create little pockets of house joy. So we're talking about things like
1:50.6	book nooks, larder cupboards, breakfast corners. It's a really good way of either making use of a
1:57.6	sort of neglected corner or just making your space work a little bit harder for you and your
