Let it snow? No way! Where's spring?

Under how many metres of snow have we been buried? Too many. The cold. The leaky shoes. The insecure footing. The risk of skidding, or another vehicle waltzing across traffic lanes out of control. The congested traffic chaos. Not to mention dark nights, dull days and the impossibility of escape. Roll on spring.

Remembering Keukenhof Gardens ablaze with flowering bulbs, and Amsterdam's canals with tree leaf buds bursting green. Remembering Parisian parks and the cherry trees dressed up in their blossoming pink tutus. Remembering Barcelona and the bone-warming Mediterranean spring sunshine.

Peter.
