This the fourteenth challenge in a weekly series from GeneaBloggers called 52 weeks of personal genealogy and history, suggested by Amy Coffin, that invite genealogists to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. Week 14: Spring
When I first saw this topic, there was one memory that came into my mind - being in a group of little girls dressed as daffodils (full use of yellow and green crepe paper) to recite, at a Brownie concert, Wiliam Wordsworth poem "Daffodils".

That floats on hills or vale and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils.

And sorry, no - I do not have a photograph of the occasion! Otherwise I remember Easter as being the landmark weekend for Spring and having something new to wear for church (courtesy of my mother's sewing fingers) - along of course with an Easter egg to enjoy.
Daffodils, along with lambs, remain my favourite symbol for Spring and today could not be better day for it, because it is beautiful and sunny in the Scottish Borders - an area said to have 14 sheep for every inhabitant - and daffodils abound along many a roadside, with new born lambs gambolling in the fields.
