This old proverb reminds us how fickle the great British weather can be!
One day we’re basking in glorious hot sunshine; the next, it can be hailing!
The saying essentially tells us not to pack away our winter clothing (clout) until the month of May is out. However, some believe the May reference is actually a direction to wait until the hawthorn tree has finished flowering.
This spell of dry, warm weather is making us feel hopeful that we can finally pack away the woolly jumpers and thick winter coats and prepare to throw open the bi-fold doors, alfresco dining, and BBQs galore!
Our favourite summer wipe clean oilcloth tablecloth patterns.
If you’re ready to inject some summer vibes into your décor, here are a few of our favourite designs to help you do exactly that!
Pansy
With its bright and sunny primary colours, this design is uplifting and vibrant.

Sunflowers
Nothing says summer more than bright yellow sunflowers! So add a splash of sunshine into your dining area or complement your outdoor space with a design that will bring a smile to everyone’s face.
Magnolia Chintz
Magnolia trees are striking in the spring and early summer with their delicate yet dramatic oversized flowers.
Summertime
Reminiscent of a Willian Morris design, this small-scale pattern is trendy yet timeless.

This super-stylish print in calming blues is offset with a splash of striking mustard. If you like a touch of Scandi chic in your home interiors, this design is perfect for you!
Are you ready for the sunshine?
Haven’t we been spoilt with the weather recently? And this week looks set to be a glorious one with plenty of sunshine and temperatures creeping into the low 20s. Fantastic!
So, dig out the garden furniture, dust it off and give it a new lease of life with one of our stylish AND practical oilcloths.
Don’t forget the finishing touches!
We can add a large or small parasol hole and ring to your order, as well as tablecloth clips. These help keep your oilcloth tablecloth firmly in place, should the weather get a little windy.
