10 reasons why spring is the best season
Yay, Spring is here!
The days are brightening, the daffodils are blooming and the lambs are bounding around in the fields – Spring is here!
Here are 10 reasons why we love this season.
1. The longer evenings
Getting home from work when it’s still daylight makes us feel more energetic, more productive and more than happy to enjoy a glass of wine in the garden!

2. We’re actually happier
Exposure to sunlight increases the hormone serotine in our brains, which make us feel happy. After being cooped up indoors for what seems like eternity, it’s great to be able to get outside again.

3. It’s getting warmer
Say 'goodbye' to the winter coat, hat and gloves. It’s almost t-shirt weather and that’s good enough for us!

4. Bumble bees and Butterflies
That first sighting of a bumble bee or butterfly lets us know that summer is just around the corner.

5. Flowers are in bloom
Everywhere you look there are daffodils, tulips and crocuses waking up. Effortlessly turning our gardens into beautiful landscapes.

6. Less colds!
Over winter it’s easy to forget what life is like without the sniffles. Come Spring time the Lemsip has been pushed to the back of the cupboard and our poorly sick PJs are nowhere to be seen.

7. Baby animals

8. Bird song
Bird song reaches a peak during spring, with the arrival of migrant birds coming home to the warmer climate. Turn off the alarm clock and open up the window, there’s no better wake up call.

9. Outside workouts
Put away that gym membership, with more hours in the day there’s a lot more incentive to get active and get outside. Running in the park, walking to work and weekend bike rides – it’s much more fun in the sun.

10. Family days out!
Theme parks, museums, parks and the seaside, Spring is the perfect time to spend a weekend with the family, before the summer rush!
