The clocks have just gone forward, daffodils are shooting up everywhere and the days are finally getting longer. Hooray!
In winter, we can get bogged down in our routines, bracing ourselves against the weather, and - after Christmas - just getting through the daily grind. I'd never appreciated the phrase 'bleak mid-winter', but I think the lockdown has really brought home its meaning this year. Staying ok can be a daily effort.
Spring makes me excited about the future.
There's something fresh and inspiring in the air.
It's a new chapter.
