The Daffodils

Autumn may be my favourite season, but April is definitely my favourite month.
That may have something to do with my birthday landing plum in the middle of it! It certainly has something to do with Easter; lambs in the fields; longer days; and waving goodbye to winter.
But, as much as anything, it’s down to the daffodils. Exploding with pure, vibrant colour and such blatant cheeriness. Celebrating spring with exuberance and abandon. Making blue sky days seem perfect and cheering up grey days no end.
I missed them enormously when I was living in Arkansas. Yes, there was the odd specimen, here and there. But in England there are masses of them. Everywhere!
That’s one of the simple things I love about this country.
