I don’t wish to be overly dramatic, but the situation calls for it. To invoke a due sense of on-coming doom by quoting from the flappy dragon- and nudity-heavy Game of Thrones, ‘winter is coming’.
For the brave Hobbits of Westeros, this meant lugging a massive, pointy chair over a thousand miles to haul into a volcano (note to self: you may want to check this) or be overtaken by an invading army of cannibal Frost Giants. Thankfully, but for us in the UK, in 2024, it means we need to up the ante when it comes to combatting the skyrocketing costs coming courtesy of the energy crisis.
