Soulla does London in Spring

Spring

 

Fine! Assuming that spring comes to London in March is possibly very optimistic. The very definition of spring is very different in London than where I grew up. I assume that in general, spring means flowers. In Cyprus of course it also means bright sunny days with brisker evenings. But back to London. Yesterday I got my first daffodil..

Gardening?

I admit to not being as good at gardening as I would like to be. I also admit to only having a balcony with a few pots on it rather than a garden (i.e. the real thing). I furthermore admit that its actually my dad who plants the pots on my balcony when he visits twice a year and that thereafter I take turns with my Bulgarian cleaner (who is equally excited that we got a daffodil) to water those pots twice a week.

Whatever the case might be..

..I got a daffodil on the second of March and that can be nothing other than spring announcing its arrival!

Soulla says Bienvenue Printemps

and I dream of long sunny days. I dream of more daffodils and even some pansies! I dream of my street becoming leafy and green again and enjoying long walks in Primrose hill!

Spring Plans

I decide that this year I will explore Hampstead Heath (http://www.hampsteadheath.net/)!! Because (a) its such a springy thing to do; (b)it is very close to where I live and finally (c) it is such an important landmark of London which after ten years of living here I am yet to explore!

Spring welcomed and springy plans made I feel my task here is done!
