Spring Time in England

We've survived our last winter in England! I must say we won't miss the cold, wet, dreary, dark days with about 7 hours of daylight. But after winter comes spring which is a beautiful time of year here. Yes we will miss spring time. The beautiful fields of green and yellow. The crocus, daffodils, tulips and bluebells are abundant. The daffodils literally grow like wildflowers here. They are everywhere!  More sunshine and less rain is a comfort as the days get longer. One of our favorite things to see (besides the flowers) are the baby sheep around Easter.

As our time here in England gets shorter I think about some of the things I will miss. It's always hard to pick up and leave a place and move on to something different whether or not you've grown fond of living there. There are still things we liked, memories we've made, challenges we faced, and new friends we will have to say goodbye to. Change (moving) is bittersweet.
