If you do one thing this week. . . bring your lights and reflectors

NOW THAT the hour has gone back, the swiftness of dark descending in the evening could take you by surprise. So if you tend to walk or cycle, don’t get caught out.

It’s easy enough to find cheap reflective bands and small but powerful LED lights for sale that won’t break the bank and are tiny enough to pack into a handbag, briefcase or even a coat pocket.

The trick is to stow them now so that they are there when you suddenly find you need them. So do it today and be prepared to make your evening journey a more visible and safer one.
