Springlike Weather Arrived At Last

At long last it looks like the better weather is here. The birds are singing, the plants are flowering, and the grass is growing again.

We have had a pretty bad winter, and it seemed the spring would never arrive. Thankfully though it looks like we can look forward to spending some time outside in the garden enjoying some barbecues.

Surprisingly, when I spoke with the men who come to mow our lawn, they told me that last year they didn't start up again until the 7th April. This year it was slightly earlier (they came yesterday), so the grass has started growing again at a pace despite the cold weather.
