Today is hot and humid but we're in for another week or so of cold weather then it will be full on summer, in all its hot, stickiness. There's no spring here at all, and I have a lovely collection of jackets too!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-65327163577609522712011-05-11T20:05:18.132+01:002011-05-11T20:05:18.132+01:00PS: Might be a bit over sensitive at the moment......PS: Might be a bit over sensitive at the moment... <br />PPS: NO, I am NOT pregnant :)Metropolitan Mumhttp://www.metropolitanmum.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-69924272648680066632011-05-11T20:04:52.472+01:002011-05-11T20:04:52.472+01:00Great, you made me cry!!

In other word, there's no 'English in the girl' to take or leave.<br /><br />However. I do really REALLY love England in the Spring! I even wrote a post about how England does spring so well. I also think summer is pretty lovely. And autumn is beautiful. Winter is a bit meh, but I can cope with that when we have spring to look forward to. And just today I was commenting to my husband about the roses in hedges. It's when the cow parsley first starts to appear that I know spring is here.Michelloui | The American Residenthttp://www.theamericanresident.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-82222232167945422252011-05-10T20:00:22.448+01:002011-05-10T20:00:22.448+01:00living just 5 miles from where you grew up I can r...living just 5 miles from where you grew up I can report that it is absolutely gorgeous right now. Just really really lovely. You'll get it again but feel reassured that it is so much appreciated, even in the context of just being what is expected, let alone cf Moscow.<br />Don't think a May has ever been as pretty, to be honest. Part of that may be extreme gratitude after a long grind of winter but wonderful nonetheless.
