Sir, – The days are becoming noticeably longer as warmth and growth return. Trees are regaining their leaves, creating lush green landscapes. Birds are singing, building nests and filling the skies with varied species. Bees are buzzing. Butterflies are emerging to add beauty to gardens. How wonderful it is to listen to the bleating of lambs in the fields and to marvel at a host of golden daffodils. Warmer days and brighter evenings put a spring in my step and joy in my heart. It’s my kind of weather. It restores my energy after the cold dark winter. Spring whets my appetite for exercise, sport and outdoor living. In spring, my fancy turns to sea swimming, leisurely gardening, cycling on the spectacular Tralee-Fenit greenway, coffee al fresco and the mouth-watering anticipation of a feast of Gaelic games in the expectation of a winning season for Kerry and my local club, Austin Stacks. Bring it on! – Yours, etc,
BILLY RYLE,
Tralee,
Co Kerry.
