Spring has sprung in our part of the world, and the clocks have gone forward one hour (Spring forward) for another season of daylight saving. We don't mind daylight saving at all, although some people do. I just think the lovely long Summer evenings are so delightful. Spring however, in our country, can be rather tumultuous, so terribly changeable. One day will be lovely - sunny and fine, followed by a couple of windy, rainy days. In fact, the weather in Dunedin, down in the South Island, had been terrible, flooding, land slips, trees down, houses damaged and red stickered meaning the owners cannot return to their homes. We had to contact our friends in Dunedin to make sure their house hadn't slipped down their hilly suburb, luckily they were fine.
Asparagus season has just started so we took a trip up the Lewis Farm just north of Levin to purchase some new season's asparagus. It was a lovely warm sunny day and plenty of other people had the same idea.

We sat outside at the picnic tables with kids enjoying the playground equipment. Robin was enjoying his huge real fruit ice-cream!
I preferred a coffee. It was so nice relaxing in the sun shine.
On the way back home Robin insisted the little car needed a wash. It's been a long time since I've been through one of these places. Buying a ticket is all done on the phone these days.
Enter when the light turns green
Here it comes
Our lovely sunny Saturday was followed by a couple of rainy days, but that's how it is in Spring here. We just have to make the most of each day, I feel. I don't know about you, but our calendars are filling up fast with pre-Christmas caravan rallies and get togethers. The next couple of months will be very busy indeed.
