Winter approaches and those balmy warm days have long gone. We have waved farewell to those strapless tops, bikinis, and shorts.

The cold has dropped in on us like a seagull drops its load on the unsuspecting beach walker🤣.

“It’s time for the big coats,” as I heard from so many whilst living in the north of England.

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”

Edith Sitwell.

Whilst this is true, and the winter can indeed bring out the impromptu smooches within many of us, it is imperative to bear in mind just how dangerous this time can be when it comes to thinking about that usual running water that you are accustomed to seeing at any other time of the year.
