Layer up with warm clothing
Dressing in layers is one of the most effective ways to trap body heat. Start with a warm base layer, add insulating layers such as wool or fleece to retain heat, and finish with a windproof and waterproof outer layer to protect against the elements. Regardless of whether your clothing is from the high street or an outdoor specialist brand, this approach will keep you toasty while also allowing you to adjust your clothing based on the ever-changing temperatures.

Ever considered using electric blankets or mattress toppers?
The weather outside may be frightful, but not every home has a fireplace to keep things delightful. Electric blankets and hot water bottles are an excellent alternative for providing warmth. Use an electric blanket to preheat your bed before you go to sleep or keep warm while relaxing on your couch. Hot water bottles can be placed under the covers or held close to provide instant warmth during the cold and rainy months while mattress toppers give an extra layer of cosiness.

SOUP-Glorious-Soup!
Ah, there’s nothing quite like a good bowl of soup, is there? Whether it’s a creamy potato and leek or a good ol’ bowl of chicken and veg, soup will warm you right to the bones. Pair it with a cup of tea, a strong coffee, or even a hot chocolate if you’re feelin’ fancy, and you’ll be grand. Hot meals like stews, casseroles, and soups are the heart and soul of winter – they’ll keep you happy out! Pick up some ingredients from your local shop and get the slow cooker going for a hearty soup or casserole!
Follow these tips and you’ll be well able for whatever the weather throws at you – be it lashings of rain or the odd frosty morning!
