The winter hasn't completely given up yet: night temperatures are still usually just a little above zero, and outwith direct sunshine it doesn't get too warm even during the day. There was even new snow in northern Scotland yesterday. But last Thursday I had gone to town in my shirtsleeves, and the day before last I'd noticed the first trees beginning to leaf. It's past the vernal equinox, past the change to summer time and past Easter as well. The winter may not have completely given up yet, but no doubt it's only a matter of a short time before it will.
