Spring!

It’s the end of an era!

For the first time in many months[1] I’ve had the confidence to go out (further than the local shops) on the bike without carrying any form of rain protection “just in case”.  It’s mild, sunny, and blowing a vigorous breeze.  I feel much better for a ride!

In another sign of spring, fresh rhubarb arrived in the shops several weeks ago (though I suspect it was grown by some not entirely natural process to be with us quite so early).  Happy to see the season of good dessert ingredients brought forward.

[1] Possibly since last May, if you allow “rather get wet than wear waterproofs when its warm” as a form of rain protection in the summer months.
