May Springtime be with with you soon, Colleen.
Springtime in the UK usually means some nice cool days where you can sit out in the garden and feel the sun on your face. However, we’ve had more white Easters that white Christmases, so Spring sometimes can also be a little cruel in the way she tricks us into thinking she has finally packed Winter off on her vacation. I think it’s more the case that Winter is just upstairs in her room.
