Another month and not only will it be Easter, but we'll be putting our clocks forward to British Summer Time. Not often do the two events overlap, but hurrah for brighter evenings!

[Guest]

The sight of my bluebells emerging through the earth, tulips, new leaf buds on my crab apple is filling me with that optimism spring imbues.

[Jono]

Spring seems to have started a whole lot earlier this year. Or so the letters in the local newspaper claim.

[Lucinda]

The daffodils are out all over campus, most of them have come out in the last week. I am looking forward to the clocks changing, since I am boycotting Easter this year, it will give some meaning to the day.

[Geezer7348]

Spring is definately on the way , got some bulbs coming through at the moment, not only that but when I come out of work it's still daylight!

Quite enjoying coming out of work even more now that its light and refreshing as opposed to dull and depressing.

[Behelzebub]

How come you're boycotting Easter, Cinders...? :confused:

Probably less, aversion to religious festivals, more (I THINK) she isn't allowed chocolate for medical reasons.

Poor Lucinda. I'm not that keen on chocolate, but always have a bit on Easter Sunday.

[dstrkzn]

Should i go outside and take a picture of all the snow just now to show you a scottish spring? its like a bit deep and cold!

[DaNNiP15]

i wish summer would hurry up and arrive

Yep, that's why. My housemates keep buying Easter eggs and consuming them, despite it still being a few weeks off. I can't eat chocolate and I'm not a religious person, and I don't have a job to have public holidays from, so it has no meaning or purpose for me. My mum said she'll get me something nice that can't be eaten though, so it's not all bad.

[sinister]

I wish they'd just leave it on gmt

My roses are now in full leaf. I'm going to have to feed them on the weekend. Usually it's around mid-March that the first feed should be applied to roses, so it's 2 weeks earlier than normal as with almost everything thus far.

[DC]

i think it's starting to look better already, it was nice and sunny when i cleaned the car earlier. the light is lasting till around 6 and not long from now it will be 7. the latter end of last year went slow but since 2008 started it's going faster towards better weather. bring on the floods!

[Bexy]

...bring on the floods!

I really hope we don't have a summer like last year. I'm not sure I can cope with all that rain again. I'm sure they were some sunny days, but I was probably stuck indoors writing my dissertation and/or working!

[midnight]

Im going to spend this summer working 6 days a week in a boiling hot swimming pool. .Its money though i suppose.

[sinister]

I would recommend growing something to eat, then compare the taste to the same thing bought in a supermarket. I've found myself eating veg I thought I didn't like.

I prefer the wintertime.Its much easier to justify spending ones entire time on the internet when the nights are dark.Maybe one day if I ever get a life I might actually enjoy the summertime.

[Mike]

UM Conspiracy Theory #230324:

CLOSED

Fact.

[DC]

they should change it to daylight savings and leave it that way, so we get more light at winter and summer. in the winter, most people at work all day from the early hours until around 5pm hardly get to see any light.

[Sexi_chel]

[Sexi_chel]

[Chaos]

Bah, all I've got is a bit of sun. Not much, but just enough to lure you outside, which is when they hit you with enough rain to drown a whale.
