"To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring"
George Santayana
Spring is here!
As I looked out the window from the bus that I use to go commute to work and back, it struck me that spring came early this year. Scotland had had a harsh winter late last year (the worst in 20 years! I was told by some of the old folks here) and flowers are blooming early. From daffodils to tulips and Cheery blossoms, colours started to emerge from every nooks and corners. Most houses here started to fill their garden with flowers and the greyness of their building gradually disappear. April is technically over and it looks as if summer is coming. Weather is becoming warmer...too warm for the likes of Scottish as I recalled meeting a chap at the bus stop, when he said that Scotland is generally cold for the first six months and colder the remaining six months of a year. Hmm...how true...but maybe we will have a proper summer this year...I remain hopeful.. but you cannot help it but to be in love with spring.....
