First Day of Spring

Believe it or not, today is the Vernal Equinox, that astronomical event when the day is as long as the night. I can't believe that we are a quarter of the way through the year, the snow I saw yesterday clinging to the foot of Stannage Edge made me feel that the Winter has not yet released us from its grasp. It's been long, this Winter.

Reminding us that this is an astronomical event, rather than a meteorological one, this is what the first day of Spring looks like from my hotel window
