Spring

[Eric Olthwaite]

It is lovely. Especially this year.

That is all.

It's such a joy. I used to like Autumn the most....and then summer...but last year I realised that Spring, with its promise of endless light evenings and warm days is the very best.

I heard it was coming next week. Have I got my wires crossed?

Spring and early summer are my favorite and especially the light nights. Clocks change this weekend which is definitely a milestone.

Pah, not yet, thermometer back to low single figures tonight, and windy as heck for the whole weekend.

The spring equinox is behind us now and we're more rhan halfesy to the summer solstice. Then it's downhill to winter again.

Spring? What SPRING??



That is today's forecast here. Cold, wet, windy. Tomorrow, more of the same. Monday similar. It looks to improve by Thursday, but temperatures dropping.

My slightly cynical long term forecast is that we will get a nice week in May, then "summer" will be shyte with the odd nice day or two thrown in. Before we know where we are, it's September and promises of an "Indian summer" come to nothing. Then straight back into winter. A familiar pattern over the last few decades. Not being pessimistic, just realistic!

Hailstones battering my window panes at the moment.

It’s a dog’s delight,
To bark and bite.
Little birdies love to sing.
But if you sit,
On a red hot brick,
It’s the sign of an early spring.

2 c here atm
Still wearing what i call mild winter gear for riding to work then having to cart it back home on the return , although yesterday i was battling a cold headwind home then it decided to rain too.I dont mind either but its hard to plan what to wear .
At least its warm enough that i can still use my hands when riding as in winter even with full winter gloves if my reynauds plays up i can be playing the " can i change gear and brake " lottery

Nope, we had a glorious April and most of May last year, it was spectacular for weeks. Summer itself was just mediocre but two months of sunshine will do me as we can (usually) go abroad for the summer.

Just back from a lovely spring ride and poured the water out of my shoes and wrung out my clothes.

Haven't commuted since March 20, but prior to that there was something immensely satisfying reaching Spring knowing one had endured the long, dreary winter.
