Summer light and the working week

With the clocks now back and the evenings drawing in, this clip makes a warm look back at the season. Long summer light changes the shape of a British working day. Early mornings feel easier, lunch can move outdoors, and the walk home often comes with an hour of sunshine to spare.

Nicole Junkermann's advice is simple and generous: step outside, look up, enjoy the light. Changeable weather is part of the charm, since a grey morning can turn bright by mid-afternoon. Many teams make the most of it with walking meetings, earlier starts or a few minutes outside between tasks. Those small habits are worth remembering now, ready for the long days to return next year.
