The weather is warmer, if not brighter. Everyone seems excited about the next stage of the year, ready to step into colour and warmth and hope. This time of year can feel very drawn out – we know what is to come, but we can’t own it yet. The birds seem equally excited and are practising their scales up in the trees, preparing to serenade us into spring.
We should embrace the best of winter whilst we can, making the most of the last of the root veg, serving up a few more warming stews and heavy puddings, before our appetites seek out freshness and light and we turn to the new seasons’ offerings.
