As the nights grow colder, I am reminded of nights by the fire at Latitude Festival, and find myself wishing that firepits were more common.

There’s something about sitting around  a communal fire that helps people open up. Feeding the fire can start conversations. Or you can just sit and watch the flames.

I may not be able to light a fire but candles can still light up the darkness – and the flame is just as mesmerising.
