Signs of Spring

Spring is in the air today. I cycled without a winter coat, crocuses are popping up in the back gardens, and I got a great big whiff of mowed-lawn-smell as I was coming home this afternoon. It feels glorious.

But the true signs of spring?

10 kg of charcoal briquettes on the back of my bike, so we could barbecue smuggled steaks from home, sauteed mushrooms, corn on the cob, caesar salad and baked potatoes with all the trimmings. I feel 100% full and 100% content. I love spring.

Soon enough we will be able to eat outside. I cannot wait!
