    We're sending the winter duvet down to be washed this week in anticipation of the colder weather. There's definitely a chill in the air in the mornings.

    I follow a bunch of retail experts on Twitter through the work Twitter account and they've been posting about Christmas stock.

    Hand on heart, am looking forward to mince pies going on sale again as I love them, most years I try to refrain until December 1st but I'm not getting any younger so sod it, as soon as they're available I'll be picking up the odd box of them.

    Agreed. It’s so Christmassy and vintagey.

    I love it, it’s pure unapologetically Christmas.
