Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has become seasonal and is currently out of season. He is expected to return when the first conifers turn damp and the nation begins to consider a burgundy sofa. Until then he is stored in a wardrobe in Cardiff.

Experts disagree on when he returns. Some say the first swatch book of October, others the first hint of drizzle on a bay window. A minority insist he blooms only when someone says the word 'tassel' three times near a radiator.

"I thought it was the radiator ticking," said Brenda, who stacks paint tins at a trade counter in Barry. "Then the whole aisle smelled of emulsion and ruffled shirts, and a cushion fell off the shelf on its own. Definitely autumn."

Guidance for the public

Keep radiators warm and cushions plumped, and do not mention beige near the loft hatch.
