And so the summer begins....

Usually I never think of 1 May as the start of summer. In my mind summer always started when you finished school or university for the summer holidays, so the date would change every year. But it would begin around the end of May, start of June, and continue until I had to go back to school/university again. However, some countries have a very strict sense of when the seasons happen through the year. And I've been told it's summer. Great! And of course, clear indicators that summer has arrived also help. Since yesterday, 1 May, the weather is amazing. Really sunny and warm. Up until now we have had quite a bit of wind, fair amount of sunshine, but also quite a bit of rain last week. And just like magic, summer started yesterday! While walking up to dance class last night I noticed the cherry blossom is in full bloom - it was like it happened in the space of 24 hours. Everything feels different - I suppose it's all part of the joys of summer - long may it last :o)
