Don’t forget: the clocks go back this Sunday. The payback for that extra hour in bed means darkness will be creeping in before you’ve had a chance to finish your last Yorkshire pudding.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. There can be joy in consciously slowing down and retreating, especially with the help of a few comforting tweaks around the home. Consider pockets of warm lighting and a stash of blankets. And candles - always lots of candles (there’s something so indulgent about lighting one in the middle of your day - try it).
