Today (or yesterday- it varies) is/was the vernal equinox: the beginning of spring and the date when day and night are roughly equal.
So that means from now on until June 21, the daytime will be getting longer. Next weekend the clocks will go forward and I will be very happy because it will still be light at 8pm!
Isn't it great when it's not dark yet at 9 or even 10 o'clock in the evening? I think so, and I treasure these few months until the summer solstice, and later the autumnal equinox. I should go to Stonehenge...
