Autumnal Automation
Niamh Marriott,
Editor
I’m c alling it – winter is coming. The thought has been
brewing for a while, much like the stormy weather that has
shrouded the latter half of a very wet August, and now
we’re in September, it seems unlikely to clear anytime
soon. The change in seasons was confi rmed as I stepped
off the plane from San Diego on my return trip from a
brilliant CEDIA 2017 (for more on that, check out my
CEDIA Snippets on page 34) and was greeted by a rather
rainy scene. But it’s not all doom and gloom I promise
you. We all know the best solution to beat the blustery
blues – a good old fashioned fi lm night, popcorn and all.
And that’s where you come in, you marvellous custom
installers, home cinema superheroes, you are all round
bringers of comfort and joy. You create spaces of luxury
and of indulgence, perfect places to snuggle up cosy and
warm. Spots to go to watch or to listen, but always with
