This year sees the return of the Leap Year. Saturday 29th February marks 24 hours you didn’t have last year and 24 hours that you wont have next year! Such a gift calls for you to seize the day, reinvent yourself, do something selfless, work on your mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing…. Or perhaps you would rather just kick back and appreciate an extra day of Netflix and chill!

Therefore, to ensure the calendar seasons are in sync with the solar seasons, an additional day is added to the calendar every four years.
