Socialising in winter 2020 will most likely happen outside for many people across the UK.
The Government’s tier system means that when your area is in tier two, you can only mix with other households outside in a group of six or less.
Those in tier three can only meet those in their own household or support bubble, again in a group of maximum six people.
This was all fine and dandy during the summer heatwave, but as the temperature drops in coming weeks, people may feel less inclined to go outside.

And so, it’s time to invest in a thick coat and a fire pit for your private garden.
(Note that the rules are hazy on whether people must go through the external gate to get to the garden, but it’s highly likely as they are not allowed indoors).
We have rounded up a list of the most affordable fire pits available to buy right now, including two portable options – for those who aren’t lucky enough to have a garden of their own but live near a park that allows for this activity.
Waitrose Steep Fire Bowl, £39.99
You can order this brazier from Waitrose and it’ll be at your door in five days (just in time for next weekend).
Made from mild steel, the fire bowl is cute and cheap – but beware of using it on a paved patio without a protective stone underneath.
Wayfair Steel Fire Pit, £27.99
This fire pit from Wayfair is a bargain, because it’s currently on sale – and it also features a BBQ, keeping you both warm and fed, if you so choose.
Made from durable steel, the legs are also foldable, meaning it is actually portable, too.
Asda, Geo-12 Fire Bowl & Log Burner, £79
If you fancy something more luxurious, go for this stylish fire bowl and lob burner, intended for ‘larger patio areas’ (not wooden).
It can be used with logs, wood or charcoal and is covered in a heat-resistant high temperature matt black powder coat to preserve its colour and quality.
Cheerful Bargains Cast Iron Fire Pit, £28.99
Those after something larger will enjoy this XL-sized cast iron fire pit sold on eBay, with the stand included in the price.
But this is just one of many, many similar options offered on the site – others are slightly cheaper but have a different design – so it’s worth looking around before you move the item to your ‘basket’.
Wish Portable Outdoor Fire Pit, £21
If you like bagging a bargain, here you go: this portable outdoor fire pit from Wish was originally priced at £217.
The product includes a bag to carry the parts and although it only has three reviews, all of them are five stars.
La Hacienda Fire Pit With Stand, £53.95
It may be one of the pricier fire pits on our list, but the laser-cut ‘rust’ design is so pretty we couldn’t resist.
And we also like the log storer underneath, which adds an extra touch (plus, it’s practical).
