The weather is very happy to let us know that winter is coming now we’re in to October. Although some of us may still be seeing a bit of sunshine throughout the day, there’s a definite chill in the air and the cold, darkening evenings are a sign that winter will soon be arriving. Although […]

We’ve been there, and we’re sure you have too… that awful moment when you open your closet, look at all of your clothes and can’t find anything at all that you want to wear! That top is too plain, those trousers too small, and you just don’t like that shirt any more – and worst […]
