"Winter
is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it
was in the summer – when they complained about the heat..." Such

with cold weather. Logs on the fire and layers of blankets are vital
but to raise your comfort level even further add a linen wheat-and-lavender
filled warmer for unrivalled stress relief. Wheat Warmers, £25
