The woods are ringing out with the shriek of randy buzzards, I have been attacked by butterflies and my legs are polkadotted with mossie bites.

What are your signs of spring*?

*Other than the calendar

Mrs wants the patio cleaned and the patio furniture put out..

from these lovely people:

Stonehenge Brewery

But seriously, flowers coming out, trees coming into leaf and sunshine. In fact, it’s such a nice day that I think I might just pootle up to Watership Down this afternoon!

I had a pint of that a month ago!

The blummin’ grass needs blummin’ cutting every blummin’ week… blummin’ stuff! The person who invents grass that grows to about two inches then stops will be a very rich man.

torrential rain followed by warm sunshine.

and repeat.

Julian, had just posted that in the other Sign of Spring thread! Am hoping to have a few at the weekend!

lol @uplink!

The moulded boots are out for rugby and the flood lights aren’t on at training anymore
Wild garlic along the sides of all the roads (so much you can smell it in the car)
Gorse has come out and everywhere that isn’t covered in garlic seems to be covered in their yellow flowers

TimP – Girls can only get pregnant when gorse is in bloom*

*Unfortunately it blooms all year

after months of bleak winter I used to love spring in the UK (don’t live there now) predominantly it was the girls- sun comes out, clothes come off -good times!

a bag of coal is lasting us more than 4 days, and the rooks in the trees behind my house are getting verrrrrry loud!

Jodhpurs and vest tops appearing along the bridleways….

Hayfever. Tourists everywhere. Teenage kids getting proper rowdy.

ladies in shorter skirts, skirts you just want to lift and shout “wa-hey!!” in a carry on film but non sexual harrasment type way

I’m having my annual spring break, usually it’s ligaments but i fancied a change this year….

It is indeed Spring.

CBEEBIES are playing the Springtime song…

Birds get busy, bees get buzzy.
Flowers in the hedgerow, start to get all fuzzy.
etc
etc.

My boys love it.

Dead hedghogs and lil wabbits, and off course lambs!

Whereabouts, CFH? Haven’t seen it for a while.

I remembered your liking for it as I posted it!
