A walk along the river today revealed signs of spring. But also traces of winter hanging on in the patches of snow that refuse to melt. The catkins that were like cotton buds a few weeks ago are now green in bud. Gardens have splashes of colour in crocuses. All encouraging signs. And although the Daylight Savings Clock change isn't for another few weeks yet, its still possible to drive home before it gets dark. In our new garden we are waiting to see what will emerge. And, in the same way, we are waiting to see what will emerge in the church as we journey on through Lent towards Easter. May it be a time of awakening, a time of budding and a time for growth.

Spring in the air?
