Spring is in the air

Sunshine, clear skies, warm breezes and the smell of fresh, renewed life tells us Spring is here (for those of us in the southern parts of the world). Right about now you will start seeing many trees with new buds of colour blooming, opening their wings to soak in the sunshine. Warmer weather aside, the arrival of Spring has to be one of my favourite times of the year. In my mind, Spring always equates to the beautiful display that cherry and plum blossoms put on when the warmth arrives. The delicate elegance and mild fragrance of the sakura is nothing short of heavenly. Anyone who knows me, will understand my love for the cherry blossom...
