With a name like Farmer's Cottage, you perhaps imagine something traditional for your garden, not something like these space age spheres, which look straight out of the 1970s.
There are three different (but similar) designs, all made to order and offered in three different sizes – the smaller rotating sphere seater, the slightly bigger rotating sphere larger and the top-end deluxe summer house sphere.
A functional item with a cool retro twist – this Retro Kitchen PVC tablecloth at John Lewis.
It's a bold and bright 1950s-style illustrated design – pots, pans, storage jars, you know the kind of thing, all on a 'chilli' red background. The idea is it acts as a 'wipe clean' tablecloth, with a length of 2 metres meaning you can cut it to fit pretty much any table.
Grab it online, £32 is the price.
