“Now if I can feel the sun in my eyes and the rain on my face…”

Such simple lyrics from a beautiful song (answers on a postcard!). It struck me as I lay in bed this morning listening to the rain that this time of year really is the best for weather treats: really warm sun and, finally, gentle rain. Having planted seeds in my veg patch last weekend, I’m filled with anticipation every day to see if they have done anything visibly exciting. It’s perfect growing weather for seeds… and perfect weather for us too, as we leave winter behind and turn our faces towards the sun and feel the rain on our faces. So if it’s raining where you are today, instead of grumbling about it, try revelling in it instead. ​
