Spring has sprung!

Spring is definitely upon us.

You might be interested to know how I know this. Is the it croci out in bloom in the centre of Edinburgh? Is it the daffodils beginning to appear? Is it the cock pheasants fighting at the side of the road on their own particular kamikaze sortis? Is it the birds that have twigs in their beaks flying around looking to line their new homes?

The answer to all of the above is a resounding "no"... the reason I know spring has sprung is that I awoke this morning with a leg covered in insect bites... ah yes, the joys of the warmer weather are truly upon us!
