Find a firework display where you live. Many are run by charitable organisations and scout groups to help raise funds, whilst still putting on a great display in a brilliant atmosphere. Admission charges are normally very reasonable, with hot dog stands, jacket potato stalls and the odd tombola thrown in. We always attend a great local display, run by ‘The Wheel of Cuxton’, which includes a guy competition and entertainment from majorette troupes and local talent.
Reach for the porridge (I love Tesco Hot Oat Cereal £1.49 for 750g), great topped with blueberries and a dash of honey. Healthy, tasty and warming.
Get knitting! If you’re new to knitting, start with a scarf in a cheerful colour and simple pattern. Individual knitting patterns can work our quite expensive, so consider buying one of the various knitting magazines available, which often come with an added gift such as wool, knitting needles or stitch holders. Look out for Simply Knitting, Knit Today, Let's Knit and Knit Now, ranging from £4.99 to £5.99 each.
Curl up with a good book. I love a good mystery/crime story – check out P.D. James, Kate Ellis, Alison Bruce, Lesley Cookman and Jacqueline Winspear.
