Spring is in the air!

We're having wonderful spring weather!  The sun is shining, the birds are singing and our small garden in the front is full of bees.  I was a bit more prepared this time by planting the bulbs in November (last year I've only planted in March after clearing the jungle that we've inherited!).  And it is good for the soul to look through the kitchen window watching the colourful display of flowers.
Yesterday I could brave the outdoors with a shirt.  And washed my very dirty car, after months of winter when one does not dare to get wet in the cold outdoors and with snow and ice changing the car from white to brown/black.  Just using the hosepipe didn't even make a dent in the dirt.  After washing the car twice, it is shining as new.
And today I'm wearing a t-shirt.  The freedom to wear a t-shirt instead of layers of clothes only a child of Africa now living in Europe can describe!  But now it is back to business - spring cleaning the house...
