First Day of Spring

Costosa · 2016-02-01 09:48:29

Today is finally the first day of spring, also St Brigid's Day. It's been a long cold and dark winter, thankfully the days are getting longer and not so cold.

Question on QI recently was "what takes (given Time) to go from John o groats to lands end?" And the answer was the seasons. Suggesting that in the UK the seasons are calculated by the presence of certain flora. Going by my garden we had snow drops and the beginning of daffodils in December which would suggest an early spring....
However I feel half a season before equonox makes more sense for a starting point and we're experiencing climate change which is feckin things up
