Monday's Magic Moment: are we nearly there yet?

Yesterday I think I managed to experience all the seasons in one day - there was a bit of snow, some very persistent rain, patchy fog, and the sun even shone through for a couple of glorious hours! It was hard to know whether to wrap up warm, or be thinking about putting away my winter coat for the year.

And through it all, I definitely felt like this gorgeous red squirrel cautiously peering from behind a Scots pine and asking 'is Spring really nearly here?'
