Spring is nigh

I missed the boat a bit with this one. I wrote the post last month and now Spring has well and truly sprung. While Spring can be nice, it is not always. The weather can suddenly get very hot. There can be nastily gusting northerly winds blowing rye grass pollen in from the inland grasslands, causing massive outbreaks of hayfever. The weather can turn freezing cold. Actually, I think we had all of those today, plus a good bit of rain too.

But in the northern hemisphere where snow and ice are to be found in winter, it must be huge relief to see the end of Winter as Spring arrives. We Australians can only imagine what it must be like to try and drive in ice conditions. Don't worry Ann, they are only little bumps, you can watch.

Later edit: Fen's photos give you an idea of what started off as a quite warm but windy day ended up as.
