At long last, spring is here!  Today I went to St. James’s Park to see the daffodils, which is always a highlight of the year.

   I love daffodils.

   Daffodils and forsythia always signal for me, the arrival of spring.

   Drew says ours haven’t bloomed yet so I am looking forward to enjoying the blossoms when I return to the States in April.

   My daffodils are in bloom also, not nearly as many as the ones in St. James’s Park. I will get to see them Friday, can’t wait. We will be staying on Spring Gardens, too.

   I didn’t notice any hotels in Spring Gardens? Also, check my latest post about the protests, which are going to coincide with your visit!

   If we wanted to safely watch the protests, where should we locate? Or should we just opt to stay away?

   I would check the Put People First link from my post above, since that demonstration is likely to be the most orderly. I would avoid the other protests, which will be in the City. Those could turn violent and the police are going to be out in force. I don’t think you’ll want to be near anything like that.
