Bite the bullet. Get rid of the grass and have a woodland garden.
Plant bulbs for the spring then when the tree is in full leaf, wallow in the cool shade when everywhere else is sweltering.
Get a seating area near to the house, bit of decking or some slabs... Bob doth claim you as his own nephew.

Clover - have a google at the diff types you can use but it is pretty fantastic ground cover, it's drought resistant and happy in the shade. It doesn't need mowing and will spread at a decent speed. It flowers and it is soft underfoot. There is a long established hangup with clover and lawn grass mixing - something I've never really understood - but if you get the micro-clover varieties it is barely distinguishable from grass.

Half of our "lawn" has been pretty much just soil since we moved in 6 months ago. This is due to there being a tree blocking loads of light on that side (from what I can tell). Any recommendations for types of grass that are less fussy?
