Although, it seems that there’s not been much to look forward to since well, last March? Having something to look forward to motivates us to keep going. Whether it’s a graduation ceremony at the end of our studies, or spending time with family and friends after a long week at work. So I’ve put a list together of things to look forward to this month. And, there is no chance of any of these being cancelled, even if we are still under restrictions.

‍

1. The clocks go forward on 28th March. We spring forward an hour, which means the sun will have already started to set later, the days will feel longer and we can get our daily dose of vitamin D to help lift our moods.

2. The first day of spring is officially 20th March. Which will bring with it fresh pastel colours, flowers in full bloom and more time outdoors.

3. With spring we get an array of new in season fruit and vegetables, why not try something new; artichokes, purple sprouting broccoli or grow some watercress with the children.

4. Participate in an age old tradition and Spring clean your home. Spring cleaning is a great excuse to go through your wardrobes and cupboards and get rid of things you don’t need, or clean the top of that bookshelf you’ve been meaning to get around to. It will also give you a sense of satisfaction which will put you in a good mood.

5. Other dates for your diary you can get involved with at home include; Mother’s Day - 14th March • St. Patrick’s Day - 17th March • International Waffle Day - 25th March.
