“if Candlemas Day be bright and clear, there’ll be two winters in the year”

So I suppose it's actually a good thing that today saw a constant blanket of thick grey cloud. It was noticably warmer though (probably thanks to said cloud), and I saw catkins and primroses on the way to work. The birds are a-singing in the trees, Spring is almost sprung methinks.

  2. 'methinks' and 'a-springing' in one line? Sounds like someone is ready for 'obby 'oss!!

  3. and a hey-nonny-nonny for good measure.

    for those in the frozen north (ie Devon onwards) I should probably point out that it is still perishing cold, or perhaps blooming cold would be more appropriate, what with all the camelias and everything out already...
