By the time March comes around everyone is ready for the Spring, the smell of Spring, the sound of Spring, the colour of Spring. The island slowly begins to flower after heavy frosts and snow falls up on the mountains. On occasion the sky may open up with ungodly thunder trumpeting a down pour, but there are more days when a bright blue sky warms up the cold and the damp, and the coats, one dares not leave the house without all through Winter, finally come off. It's immediately noticeable that there is life on Ithaki again.
