A nostalgic throwback to those glorious summer days by the seaside, when a 99 cost as much and jelly shoes weren’t a questionable footwear choice. This lightweight blanket captures the essence of British summer no matter where you holidayed. Whether it be by the Beach huts in Abersoch or in Cornwall with the waves lapping at your feet, ‘A Typical British Summer’ evokes happy memories for all.
