The start of spring

It’s amazing what a difference a little sunshine can make. Since the calendar page turned to March, the world seems to have woken up to the fact that spring is just around the corner and we have had a week of beautiful sunshine. Suddenly, the world seems a chirpier place, people seem to be smiling more and even the ugly grey buildings in the city seem to have lost a little of their ugliness. I wake up in the morning with the birds singing and find it less of an effort to drag myself out of the arms of Morpheus.
