Mornings have become a bone-chilling affair with winter really setting in, and for plenty of us, it's a time between semesters when we can cosy up in a blanket and enjoy the weather from inside.

For some of you, though, it might be time for winter school - if this is you, then hopefully you still have had a chance to break and recover from the last semester (and maybe you can still snuggle up in a sneaky blanket with a hot drink).
