Changing Seasons

Is it just me or do we all have slightly different perspectives as to how/when the seasons change? For instance… we’re currently reaching the end of the “summer holidays” and many of you with children I’m sure will be making the most of the last few days before school routines return with the start ofContinue reading “Changing Seasons”

Celebrating Spring

Springtime is such a changeable season don’t you think? By the end of February it felt like spring had arrived… only for it to be put on hold with another couple of weeks full of rain, wind and hailstones!
