I wrote this blog after a flight on a beautiful sunny spring day. However, I delayed posting it to avoid looking foolish, because the next day we were ankle-deep in snow again!
There is finally some evidence that spring is on the way: lighter afternoons, the occasional daffodil in bloom, and temperatures now climbing towards double figures. Not yet time to get out the shorts, but perhaps time to dust off the sun-glasses and make the first cross-country trips of 2018.
Take a look at our destinations page for some ideas for short trips.
