The mornings are getting darker, the days are getting colder, and night seems to be falling earlier every day. There’s no doubt about it…

We Brits are well practised at spotting the signs that summer is coming to an end. Some, like Halloween or pumpkin lattes, are a cause for celebration, but most just make us wish we were on holiday. How many of these have you already spotted?
Sandals are no longer an option.

Christmas stuff is everywhere.

You’ve dug out the winter jumpers.

You’re considering turning the heating on.
