Looking Forward to Spring

Thursday, 16 March 2017

Garden bush with white flowers

Each time the seasons change, I always get excited.  Each season brings new possibilities, new plans to work on ... 

I'm looking forward to light mornings and travelling home from work when it's nice and bright. Light makes it easier to take photos so I can work on those.  (Got this one from Unsplash). The Spring flowers - daffodils and snowdrops - are starting to appear in people's gardens and on the Village Green.  There are green leaves on the trees and the birds are back.  With the early morning singing.  

There will be baby lambs, calves and pigs in the nearby farms.  The Tubblet will be kept firmly away. After seeing loads of baby lambs on a school trip, she announced they were too cute too eat so we haven't had roast lamb since.  She's not getting the bacon!  Or the roast beef and Yorkshires!  

Easter is coming.  Rev T has been tapped for a guest post so I'll leave the religious aspect to him.  Easter is hard work for him as there are services and events to organise and attend.  But I'm looking forward to a four day weekend.  And chocolate.  Who doesn't love chocolate?  (If you want some chocolate related laughs, check out "The Calendar According to Chocolate" by Dawn over at Rhyming with Wine). 

Like many people, I'm hoping for good news on the international front.  I can't believe this month the UK will start the process of leaving the EU and be gone in two years.  (And Scotland!)  My company has announced its plans to ensure it still has access to EU markets once the UK leaves.  It's also assured us the changes mean no redundancies and they're still committed to the UK, with loads of plans to invest. We'll see.  The proof will be in the pudding.  (Politics isn't so much the elephant in the room now, it's more the escapee from the room that's currently dancing like nobody does and blocking out the light.  Hopefully it'll wear itself out eventually so we can pack it off to bed for a rest).

What Spring things are you looking forward too?

    To be honest I am just looking forward to the warmer weather! Being out doors and in nature will make me feel so much better :) #Ablogginggoodtime

    Hi, I love spring as well. The lighter mornings and the vocal birds as I wake up. Oh and not forgetting the garden filled with daffs, Chloe #SharingtheBlogLove

    OH I am so with you on this. I literally can not wait for spring. It is my favourite season as the flower fields in Holland are just stunning. I too love the lighter days and going to and from work in the light is just amazing. Thank you for linking up to #ablogginggoodtime 🎉

    I'm in such a better mood with the arrival of some sunshine and open windows! My favourite element of spring has to be seeing our tortoise roaming the garden again - always such a relief to know he made the winter...
    Thanks for linking to #coolmumclub - I did what you said btw, I saw a man at a toddler group and I went and spoke to him :-)

      Yes, it's great to see the back of winter.

      Great! Thank you for doing that, I'm sure he really appreciated it. Rev T was always pleased when people spoke to him. He loved your post BTW

    I want to see the lambs out in the field behind the house. They're lambing down the road so we don't get to see them being born, but they'll be put in the field up here hopefully #ablogginggoodtime

      We're hoping the farm near us will let the babies out eventually as we love going to visit them. :)

    I'm so looking forward to spring too. Just to feeling warm mainly, but also having a bit more colour in the world, I want leaves on the trees rather than just twigs and bare branches. I'm looking forward to lighter evenings and playing outside with the kids after school. Very much looking forward to seeing! #pocolo

    I live in Maine so spring months in other places are late winter here. But I am definitely looking forward to warmer days, spring flowers, and mud. Lots of mud. #FridayFrolics

      Mud is great if you've go the right footwear. Otherwise, not so much

    I think spring is the season I look forward to more than any other, even though summer is my true favourite. There's something about the anticipation of everything after the long winter - and the spring flowers popping up one by one. First the snowdrops, then the crocuses, then the daffs, the bluebells, I love it all! I always love a visit to the farm in the spring too, I love to see all the baby animals (if I can drag my son away from the soft play part of course!) Thanks for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove

    We keep getting teased with the lovely warm Spring weather and then the next day it's freezing cold again! I know the last few years we have had snow in April, I'm kind of hoping that doesn't happen this year! I'm looking forward to being able to go out without a coat and scarf! #ablogginggoodtime

    I'm looking forward to spring too. The warmer weather and I just want to be cycling around in the countryside - away from the politics and troubles and all - even if its just for a moment. And I can only hope things will get better soon. Thank you Mrs Tubbs for sharing your post with us on #FabFridayPost. I hope you'll have a lovely weekend. xx

    We live in the U.S. in Indiana and our daffodils have already sprouted and are starting to die off! Crazy weather! I'm very much looking forward to traveling around the state this spring and planting some more outdoors. :) #fabfridaypost

    Just being able to get outside for a bit without freezing my stuff off would be nice. We were teased with some really warm weather last week, then got hammered with a major snow storm and cold front. #pocolo

      I saw! One of my managers says the first time he was working in Chicago, he was told a snow storm was coming and was surprised when people started leaving as UK storms are no big deal. He carried on working until he was thrown out of the office by his boss. Convinced it was all a big fuss about nothing, he woke the next day to waist high snow!

      Hope Spring comes back soon for you!

      It is kind of. When the Tubblet was small, I did research black out blinds at once point as she was waking up at stupid o'clock in the summer

    It is amazing how everyone just starts smiling and feeling uplifted at the first signs of spring. I love watching my tree in the back garden blossom into life hinting at long balmy evenings ahead with the family eating al fresco. Fabulous.

    I can't wait for spring, I love seeing all the daffodils and the yellow bringing some colour into the grey mornings. I think everyone suddenly has a spring in their step and life feels easier somehow. Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove

      It does. Although looking out the window at the moment, Spring seems to have cleared off!
