When Do the Clocks Go Back in Somerset? The Big Sleep-In!
It’s that time of year again – when the days get shorter, the nights get longer, and our clocks get to take a little nap. But when exactly does the UK, including Somerset, switch back to GMT?
The answer, my friends, is October 29th, 2023! That's right, at 2:00 AM on Sunday, October 29th, we turn our clocks back one hour.
So, what does this mean for us Somerset folk? Well, it means we get to enjoy an extra hour of sleep! It’s a bit like winning the lottery of time, but with a much lower chance of losing your trousers.
But wait, there’s more! The time change also means the sun will start setting earlier. This might seem like a bummer, but it’s also a great opportunity to cozy up inside with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa (or maybe a cider if you’re feeling fancy).
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to adjust your clocks! It’s easy to forget, especially if you’re caught up in the excitement of gaining an extra hour of sleep. But trust me, it’s not fun waking up an hour late to a missed appointment.
So, mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready for that extra hour of sleep! And if you’re lucky enough to live in Somerset, remember to soak up the beautiful autumn scenery before the nights get really long.
