THE clocks have rolled back and we were able to enjoy one more hour of sleep.

Obviously this year the concept of time has come to be blurred for many as days and months blur into another as lockdown restrictions continue to have a major impact.

It may be interesting to know the concept of Daylight’s Savings Time was first mooted in 1907 by William Willets.

However it would take more than a decade for it to be adopted in Britain which had followed the path of First World War enemies Germany in adopting the new practise.

The main reason for turning the clocks back was to make the most of the daylight available in the summer while also affecting the amount of domestic coal usage, thereby increasing the supplies available for the war effort.

The new system soon became popular with dairy farmers and the industry’s close association to Daylight’s Savings Time began.

Ever since the expression of “spring forward, fall back” has been used as a way to remember when and which way to wind their clocks.

So now we have our extra hour of daylight what should readers do with it?

It is important to stay busy during such times and while many readers will either be in full lockdown or subject to local restrictions, they can still venture outdoors and follow the guidelines.

So emulate our camera club members now and seize the day.
