Observer Opinion: Spring? We'll have summer that!
ODD, isn't it, that just as glorious sunshine, warm breezes, daffodils and primroses seem to signal that Spring is with us at last, we prepare to mark the start of British Summer Time? Have we somehow missed a season along the way?
With such a gruelling and protracted winter now hopefully behind us, folk could be forgiven for thinking that Nature has somehow short-changed us - moving directly from darkness into light, as it were.
But call it what you will, Spring or Summer, there are now signs a-plenty of longer, better days ahead, and doesn’t it just lift the spirits? Worth sacrificing an hour in bed for when the clocks move forward an hour at 2am on Sunday. Don’t forget to adjust yours this weekend.
