offers security in all weather conditions,
throughout the year – perfect for our
unpredictable climate in Britain, where
you can sometimes experience four
seasons in one day. Like all Michelin
tyres, the Michelin CrossClimate+
also provides long-lasting performance,
energy efficiency and a comfortable ride.
Maintaining your tyres regularly is
also essential. Keep a check on their
general condition, pressure and tread
depth, ensuring each tyre is above
the legal minimum of 1.6mm.MAKE YOUR HOME COSY
‘Curtains add texture and are great
at reducing heat loss, especially if
they’re lined,’ says interiors writer Rachel
Ward. ‘And they’re not just for windows- hang them over doors to stop warm air
escaping. Rugs add warmth underfoot
and help reduce drafts through exposed
floorboards. They also provide extra
insulation when hung up on an outward-
facing wall. Finally, draught excluders
have had a makeover. There are lots of
lovely fabric designs to choose from.’
PROTECT YOUR WARDROBE
‘Keep moths away from wool
and cashmere by using moth
strips or by filling bowls with
essential oils and herbs, such
as lavender and mint,’ advises
stylist Issie Gibbons.
‘Treat leather and suede
items with a protector. If
you get caught in a downpour
while wearing them, dry with
a clean cloth, then hang up
jackets and stuff bags and
shoes with newspaper. While
the leather is still slightly
damp, wipe down again, then
massage in leather conditioner.
Dry overnight, then treat
with leather protector.’MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE+

Nutritionist Kim Pearson says: ‘Stay
healthy in winter by eating fresh vegetable
soups and stews – add pulses such as
lentils, chickpeas or beans to provide
protein and slow-releasing carbohydrates.
‘Supplement your vitamin D intake, too.
Symptoms of deficiency can include lower
back pain, muscle weakness, fatigue and an
increased susceptibility to infection. But it’s
also common to have a deficiency with no
symptoms. While there’s less sun, I advise
a daily supplement of at least 400iu.’This feature was produced in association
