Now Spring has sprung!
I wandered down to the Botanic Gardens the day after i got back looking for signs of life. Spring here is different. It's sudden and dramatic. After months of grey cold days and naked grey trees, Spring brings a bit of warm sunshine, green leafy buds to the trees and colour! And the birds are singing - they really twitter! I didn't realise how much i missed the bird song over winter. This may sounds silly to northern hemisphere folk but, to be honest, i've never really noticed such a dramatic change between Winter and Spring. Most Australian trees keep their leaves over winter, there's always a bit of colour in the garden and the weather gradually changes from wet and cold to dry and warm. Now i know why the English Springtime is quite famous. Thank goodness it arrived.
