When the winter comes, it brings not only a cold and dampness to the air around us and in our homes, but it changes the way we feel. My body for example needs a lot of moisturising all year round but in the autumn and winter, I get through barrels of lotion. I used to enjoy a comforting bath, in the days when we only had one a week and got by with daily washing the rest of the time. That one action – hot water with some kind of smelly bath product, used to be a highlight of my week. It acted as a refresher and restorer of good vibes – Sunday has always been the end of my week, rather than the start of it. That hot, luxuriously perfumed haven of bubbles would be the signal that an early night would definitely bring its rewards the next day – Monday!
