This is one of my favourite times of year. After months of short, cold, grey days, it’s so energizing to see the sun more and more and for longer stretches of time.
It’s so easy to go into hibernation during the winter months when you work from home, especially if you’re inclined to introversion as it is. But once the spring comes, who can resist setting work aside, even for half an hour, to get out and enjoy the fresh air?
Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!L.H. Bailey

What’s your favourite season, and why?
I’ve always loved Autumn. The days are sunny but not too hot, the nights are cool for sleeping. There are no bugs. The colours are beautiful.
I can’t decide whether I prefer spring or autumn. I love autumn, except for the fact that it means winter is on its way.
