Getting an extra hour of daylight in the evening is like finding a £20 note in an old coat. It’s a gift. It means you can actually do something after work besides watching the rain slide down the window. You might go for a walk, visit a friend, or just sit on the step and watch the light linger. That hour of borrowed sunshine is why the British summer, when it finally arrives, feels so precious.
So mark your calendar: Sunday, 31 March, 1:00 AM. Lose an hour of sleep, gain a whole season of hope. And if you forget? Well, at least you’ll have a funny story to tell. Just don’t blame your oven clock.
