MARCH 2018 Letter from the Editor Bye Bye Winter, Hello Spring! It doesn’t matter if you follow the meteorological calendar (1st March) or the astronomical calendar (20th March), either way March sees the beginning of Spring. Hallelujah I say. Your Buckinghamshire magazine This winter seems to have gone on forever. It’s been so cold. I even managed to freeze a double quilt cover I hung out to dry in the garden recently. I suppose having to put the washing out to dry wearing my thickest coat with a hat on should have given me a clue, but it was windy, and sunny. Oh well, the fresh air did me good no doubt. The clocks go forward on the 25th March. Hooray! This might just be my favourite day of the year. Well, maybe not my favourite day, we do all lose an hour’s sleep, but it’s right up there with the best. I love the light evenings. I hear that Europe might be changing to Berlin time instead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) post Brexit which will mean we lose our long light summer evenings. I live for these evenings when I can be out gardening until 10 pm. I then sit down with a glass of wine and watch the stars come out. Pure relaxation. Anyway, that’s a long way off still. I need to get through Spring first. Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mum’s, young and old. Personally, I think we should be spoilt every day of the year, but one day is better than none I suppose. Whatever happens in March enjoy the beginning of Spring everyone.
