The ‘ber months have arrived. As summer fades, a different sort of warmth descends over Britain and Ireland - a blaze of copper and saffron across the landscape, the glow of roaring fires, the flicker of candlelight, wood-fired hot tubs, rosemary-studded Camembert and crumbles made with just-plucked blackberries and windfall apples. From cosy cottages to country houses wrapped in crimson creepers, our homes invite you to slow down and settle into the season; return from blustery walks with rosy cheeks and muddy boots, sink into steaming waters beneath starlit skies, and watch the last of the golden autumn light fade beyond the window with nowhere else to be.
