ahhh…spring!

What I love about Spring in Japan (even more than the 花見) is that once it’s spring, it’s spring. None of the fluffing around that Melbourne weather does, trying to decide whether to commit to warmer weather or keep up the frigid wind and drizzly rain. No, none of that. Once spring has properly arrived, you can safely put away your winter clothes and luxuriate in the knowledge that they won’t be required until October. Of course, I have not done this yet. I’m a Melbournian through and through – complete with total mistrust of the weather. Still, it’s nice knowing that I could put away my winter warms safely, if I wanted to!
