Roald Dahl famously said: “If I had my way, I would remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead.”
As the festive lights dim and the last echoes of Christmas carols fade away, many of us might agree. Dark mornings, gloomy weather and the post-Christmas financial pinch all contribute to January being the Monday of the year.
Thankfully, this needn’t be the month of budget blues. In fact, it’s the perfect time to explore some of the best food, drink, and staycation deals keep the spirit of celebration alive without breaking the bank. After all, a little rendezvous or two might be exactly what the doctor ordered.
