With the autumn equinox just around the corner, we're approaching the delicate threshold between seasons - when the days draw in and the landscape unfurls into a heady blaze of copper and rust. In October, the draw of hibernation intensifies. From a nature-wrapped retreat in the mist-cloaked foothills of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, to a honey-hued Cotswolds cottage just two hours from London, our homes are thoughtfully designed for the restorative rituals of slow living. Picture cosying up on a marshmallow-soft sofa in the glow of a woodburner; foraging for chanterelles to slowly simmer on the Aga; and slipping into the steaming warmth of an outdoor copper bath as starling murmurations dance across hazy autumn skies. |
