Despite the threat of late snow over the last week, I think it is safe to say that the Eastern Free State believes that Spring is here.

The fruit trees are all in full flower, and you appreciate the bounteous nature of the area as it all starts to change, the green shoots pushing through the brown grass and the willow trees exploding in deep lush green.

Here we really feel the change of the seasons, and it gives us cause to give thanks again.
