It was the Vernal Equinox on Tuesday and despite all the wintery and bitterly cold wind (a short visit from Mini-beast last week, the cousin of the Beast from the East) it is officially spring and just a little bit warmer today. And, furthermore, with impeccable timing the UK Handmade Spring Showcase went live on Tuesday too.
I have been lucky enough to be selected for this showcase and two of my scarves have been featured.
I think the two photos chosen are bright and colourful – hopefully capturing that optimism associated with spring. Who doesn’t need some bright cheeriness after the winter?

Those are beautiful harbingers of spring. If only Mother Nature could pull it off as well!
😊 Good news, all change, I couldn’t find any trace of returning cold weather in the forecast for the next week after all. Maybe Mother Nature will be kind to us and give us a warm and sunny Easter. 🌞
We have this ridiculous system that decrees a season begins on the first day of each quarter – maybe it’s a leftover from the early colonialists trying to mimic what they had left behind. I can tell you that 39 degrees last Sunday did not feel at all autumnal!
Such beautiful scarves. I hope they are snapped up by eager beavers!
Thinking about it surely the changing seasons isn’t just about names and dates, but our experiences of the cycles of our planet wherever we find ourselves on its surface. I am sure the local birds have no name for spring, but they’re all chirping away contributing to the dawn chorus. Enjoy your sweltering autumn. 😉
Somewhere I have a photo from one of the Aboriginal tribes up north who have many seasons based on what is happening in nature around them. Makes much more sense.
