The changing of the seasons means a very great deal to me and I'm not sure I could settle somewhere where the only seasonal change is between wet and dry.

Your landscape is so like ours in many places that I just assumed that the trees would be too. Silly me....<br /><br />I'm really glad that you once had the opportunity to experience a British spring, even in the city. To me it is the perfect season, so full of new life, fresh green leaves and endless blossom with all its promise.
