I love the iGrill 2; it connects to your phone via Bluetooth and lets you know when your meat has reached optimum temperature – it works great with the Genesis II range!” Gay, Ruxley Manor Weber BBQ Specialist iGrill 2, £99.99 Weber Genesis II range starts at £584.99 “New for 2019 is the Bramblecrest Indigo Modular Sofa with Footstool. We love the dramatic colour, especially with a splash of lime green from our Extreme Lounging cushions.” Niamh, Ruxley Manor Furniture Specialist Finally, it’s the food and drink that can make all the difference.
