Aldi launches fantastic brand new outdoor range

You can explore the great outdoors this Spring, no matter what the weather is, and it's all thanks to Aldi’s latest outdoor range. In store now and available while stocks last.

Be prepared wherever your adventure takes you in their Trekking Jacket (£29.99), it’s warm and waterproof, thanks to its 3 layer fabric and membrane construction. In styles for both men and women and fit to fight off the strongest of storms, it has a fully adjustable hood and a storm flap. Not only is this jacket waterproof but windproof too and if it gets a little too chilly, you can always layer up with a Trekking Merino Base Layer (£14.99).

If you like to get a bit more physical, then there's the ultra comfortable and lightweight abrasion resistant Technical Softshell Jacket (£19.99).

It's got very useful stretch insert underarms, giving you great levels of comfort. Don't forget there's the matching Technical Trousers (£14.99) which are lightweight and functional, too.

And for those that take their walking and hiking seriously, there's the Aldi Maxi Lunch Pod (£4.99). It keeps food warm for up to four hours, has a 1L capacity and it's provided with its very own cutlery set!.

To put your stuff in do not overlook the handy Hiking Backpack (£13.99) with removable pouch bag. Available in 30L or 45L it has plenty of space for your Technical Fleece (£8.99) which is made from soft microfleece material and flatlock seams for your comfort. (This fleece rocks!)

Aldi’s Specialbuys Outdoor range goes into stores nationwide on the 2nd April but you’ll have to be quick because once it’s gone, it’s gone!

There's also a range of gents and ladies walking shoes, walking poles, stretch gloves and much more.

Nip down to Aldi to suss out what's available!

The mystery of the exploding glass coffee table.

When my wife and I bought our show home we also bought a range of furnishings, too.

A sofa, some cabinets, three beds and a desk. (The desk I am using, now.)

There were also two glass tables and dining table and a coffee table.

Every-so-often we use linseed on the wood of the tables.

Recently my wife lifted the glass from the coffee table so we could polish the wood with linseed and, as she stood with the glass in her hands, it exploded.

Fortunately it was safety glass, but even so, one would have hoped it would not just have exploded.

Now, we aren't telling you get rid of your glass tables, but we are advising you to be very careful when you select a table, if it is made of glass.

After all, have you ever heard of a wooden table exploding? No. Nor had we!

Please forward this story to friends and family members, particularly those who have glass topped tables.
