Yesterday morning I was very glad to be feeling the sun warm on my face at an hour which two months ago would still have been dark. This year I seem to be enjoying the daffodils more intensely than usual. Whilst visiting my parents, I wandered around their garden, and admired buds on branches, and little green plants flourishing under bushes while they've still the opportunity to see sunlight. I don't know much about nature, but I know that, this year, I'm very pleased to see it blithely going about its springtime business.
