Waiting for spring

I don't know about you but I am so eager for the spring to arrive. As I was sat working in my lounge today the sun began to push through the clouds and it reminded me how ready I am for a change in season. There's something lovely about winter - cosy nights in, snuggly jumpers, my beloved slow cooker to name a few of the best bits but I'm done now. I'm ready for the flowers to bloom, to leave the house without being cocooned in 20 layers (possibly a slight exaggeration) and to not want to close my curtains at three in the afternoon because its dark outside.

I love the British summertime, there really is nothing quite like it and I am so looking forward to a summer of picnics, lazy Sunday afternoon barbecues and walks along the seafront munching on a Rossi's ice cream (a local summer staple). I am ready to ditch the heavy boots and jumpers in favour of a bretton stripe and a pair of ballet pumps. I want to eat delicious British strawberries and spend time pottering in the garden.

This summer is also going to be brilliant as O will be exploring more which means we can all enjoy family days outside at the park, the beach and the zoo. There's only so long you can entertain a busy toddler at home when it's cold and raining so I can't wait to take her out more.

Come on spring, I'm ready for you!
