As a schoolkid at OPS , I always remember the fuss made at school on Springday, 1st September...You got to wear civvies to School... What I also found wierd, was how in winter, sometimes the east wind would come early and trick the blossoms on the tree's and plants into opening earlier... just a memory...

Must say I miss seasons. We don't have that here. We go from warm winters to blazing hot summers and then back to warm winters  :cappello1:

We have this here sometimes too without eastweather.

You's all happy about spring comming .........

me's not too happy about winter comming.  I am NOT a winter person.  I don't want to be a bear in winter to hybernate  -  I know I am a bear already when winter arrives.  I go into a semi-hybernation state and I get grumpy.

I LOVE SPRING AND SUMMER  -  how I wish I were a swallow to follow summer all year long!

5th of November. My oldmans birthday. More important for us kids were the fireworks...

I'm a winter person...... love the cold... I even swim in the middle of winter...... the only thing is, I too tend to hibernate... go to bed very early get up very late.... love it to bits...

The best days going for a swim here is on rainy days Mike. You can swim for hours. Nobody in your way. No (sweat)smelly water. Fantastic. The hot days are the family days at the pool. You spend more time around the kiddy-pool taking care of your non-swimmer kids.

[Michael Alexander]

and that is exactly my point.... the town pool is empty in the mornings during a cold day, but if the east wind turns up and things get hot...then the floaters arrive... don't swim... they just float in your path...luckily I am a fairly big chap and just go over them.....   e180

... and even squirt water in your face....   :emot78:

Spring can be soooooooooo great.
