The vernal equinox has arrived, first day of spring is upon us, watching maples for signs of awakening out of winter slumber, the Sun crosses the celestial equator on its way north along the ecliptic.
Looking forward to enjoying the increasing sunlight hours, with earlier dawns and later sunsets.

Life is good

This week is the only time when there is a 4 hours time difference between USA and UK instead of 5 ...the clocks are put forward a week early in the USA.
It created a problem when we flew over the pond to Manchester airport in 2007 during this time period. We landed a hour early at Manchester and there was no staff to get us off the plane, we had to wait a hour on the plane before they arrived for work! What fun
It was a Sunday morning so hopefully they caught on to the idea for the rest of the week.
We have avoided this time period ever since!

I thought we were the same as the US but ours went forward on the 13th March.

You're right broady, it was the 13th for the USA but the UK go forward on the 27th of March. 4 hour time difference for 2 weeks, used to be only one week, someone moved the goalposts again, planet Washington DC I assume
