A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned my fabulous new hammock (gifted to me from Tropilex) and said that when it was properly in situ, I would show you more. It is finally hanging in our lovely BBQ area and I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s the perfect spot to curl up with a good book.
On Easter Sunday, I continued reading Sophie Kinsella’s Surprise Me whilst hubby pottered about in the garden. I spent a few hours just lazing in the hammock before the sun finally went in…
And here I am when I first started the book in my Harry Potter PJs (one of many pairs lol) and not a hint of ANY make-up (!). But it’s the Tropilex hammock I’m talking about (I’ll review the book when I finish it). It’s such a gorgeous hammock, super comfy in a really strong, soft fabric. I just can’t get enough of it. Unfortunately, the weather has been a little up and down the past couple of days so it hasn’t really been warm enough to laze about in for any length of time.
I just know that this summer hubby and I are going to be fighting over it lol. I have suggested we buy a second one to hang elsewhere within the BBQ area but I’m not suite sure how that would work out lol. We’ll see 😉 We do actually own a much larger hammock that hangs close to the pool, but I like this spot more! Here’s hubby having a snooze in the hammock (before we tidied up the BBQ area lol):
The Tropilex Hammock
The green hammock was handmade in Columbia. Here’s some details about it from the Tropilex website:
“The weight is distributed better along the ropes, resulting in optimal relaxing comfort. Moreover, the ropes are not fixed onto the hammock, but originate directly out of the hammock itself. Thus, the hammock gets its specific extra Tropilex look and there is up to 30% less chance that the ropes will snap.
The fabric of this hammock is made from 70% cotton, 30% polyester and is up to 20% thicker than other brands!
The cotton combined with the special patterns gives the hammock the ultimate soft character.
At the same time the polyester yarns ensure that the cotton gets not stretched too much. These hammocks can handle a rain shower. However, we do advise you to keep the hammock dry if not in use.
The canvas is woven up to 20% more tight compared to other hammocks. This provides extra comfort and makes the hammock extra sturdy.
Tropilex hammocks are made in Colombia. Colombia is the perfect hammock country!
By paying a fair price for the hammocks and supervising the working conditions, each Tropilex hammock contributes to the prosperity of this growing developing region.”
Right, that’s enough for today. I’m off to see if the sun’s out. If so, I think I just might have a nap in my new hammock lol (I was up from 3am last night because of a major storm, and Luna really doesn’t like bad weather!)
