Pretty sure we had heating on in Sept last year but current forecasts are suggesting we may quite easily get to October before needing to turn it on. Windows open slightly all day today to keep the temperature below 20C.
 
Was expecting some pretty dodgy weather so I just went rock hopping (enforced mindfulness) and then a long bodyboard session,it wasn't brilliant surf (only just useable) but great fun and stayed dry for reading the kindle on the beach

Autumn is upon us, Cooler temps, shorter days. That distinct smell of fires on the breeze, the desire to put on the cozy hoody. I feel the turning, and I'm embracing it, its been a long summer! Oh how I have longed for this! :D

Heating went on in November last year. I'm looking to beat the record this year

Heating??? You mean extra layers? What is this "heating" you speak of?

Thankfully I currently live "Down South", I havnt used "heating" in 2 years I have been here. Dorset actually has its benefits! I havnt had to use my desk fan in a couple of days its been mint!

Don't be silly. I live in Wiltshire right on the border with Dorset and Somerset and the heating will have to go on at some point and I live in a 7 year old house insulated correctly. If you are not using the heating at all you are actually damaging your house slightly

Depends on the property and it's rating! Mine was F so needed heating. Now it's rated C so I should need less heating with all the improvements made :)

I jest, though it rarely ever leaves the * setting. Even then it gets toasty through the day. Its just me in the house, I dont need to actively heat the house even in the worst we get down here, I'm quite what you call hot blooded, I'm comfortable in cooler temps, easily satisfied with just throwing on extra clothing in winter. Even back home in Scotland I'll happily leave windows open through the winter and just dress accordingly I prefer a "fresh" home.
Just for perspective though, I currently live in service accommodation and dont pay for my heating. I should be raping it for its worth but I just simply dont need it.
