Spring we are ready for you now...

I really am done with winter for this year. I think Britain has really entered into the spirit of winter what with all the snow/sleet/rain/freezing temperatures, and that is to be commended. Well done, good effort weather systems. But it's all getting a bit boring... Can it be Spring now please?

I don't want to be a plot spoiler or anything, but I had a look at the weather forecast this weekend in the hope that I might be able to actually GO SOMEWHERE interesting this weekend (possibly further than the cafe at Rainham Marshes, as nice as their paninis are). It looks like the weather gods may well be planning against this, so don't hold your breath...

While we are all waiting for some seasonal progression, have an unrelated but very cute photograph of a baby okapi, with fluffy ears and everything. Think she was born at the end of November, but she's only just started going out and about. Dawww....
