“Today is the first spring, which sits with our calendar. It makes it nice and easy for everybody, and we’ve been starting the seasons on the first of the month for as long the Bureau has been taking records.
“If you started making seasons from the 21st to the 21st you’d probably end up confusing people.”
So there you have it. Spring starts on the first of the month so nobody gets confused. So does summer, autumn and winter. But that doesn’t mean that’s actually when the seasons start.
It is springtime. Leaves are growing on the trees. All the grass is turning green…
See the birds build their nests… Watch the flowers start to grow…
