Those in the northern hemisphere mustn’t have got much sleep last night as all New Zealanders shouted out for Spring. The woo hoo from Wellington was audible all the way up the Hutt Valley. Yes, Spring is official here and my what a beautiful day. Spring sunshine to warm our hearts and give us hope that we are indeed moving to brighter and drier days.
Daffodils are abound although we only have one so far – I snapped this early this morning with the morning dew still clinging on. With our turn about seasons, I can’t help but still think of 1 September as the southern hemisphere equivalent of 1 March with all the memories of St David’s Day when I was a child living in Wales. Then, as now, the daffodil was symbolic of that special day.
