It’s hard to not notice that the nation has gone World Cup crazy. Houses down one road in particular near me have flags hanging out of bedroom windows. TV reports show fans painting the red cross on the outside of their house and one England fan has even laid turf in his living room, bringing the football pitch to his front room!
If you do fancy showing your support but in a less gregarious way, why not opt for some patriotic bed linen?
To be honest, apart from a few Union Jack scatter cushions, I have never seen the England flag in all its glory as a bed display until I visited Debenhams for their sale. This red and white vision completely stopped me in my tracks and made me perform a double take.
If I did not have a purple feature wall in my own bedroom, then I have to admit I would be tempted. I could have the St George’s cross on the bed spread and pillow case and then the Union Jack cushions covered in sequins.
Even if England don’t make it through to the top 16, maybe you could use this to support Murray at Wimbledon!
Don’t forget to watch the World Cup to see if it is worth buying this bed linen. Or, if you’re staying in, then why not learn about different cuisines from the original 32 countries with Food Network UK’s World Cuisine map.
