'I don't think I'm alone in feeling that the real New Year doesn't begin on 1 January but on 1 September.
September is a brilliant month because your skin is still glowing from the summer sun, the weather is gently creeping into lovely, bronzed autumn and you can begin making the transition into your winter wardrobe.
Technically, September always has been the New Year for me.....
Schools go back, freshers get fresh and a new series of Strictly provides the perfect excuse to curl up on the sofa with a bottle of wine and a take away.
