We’ve literally got a spring in our step to welcome the new season!

Spring has sprung! We’ve just had a wonderful weekend chez Happydesigner, blessed with glorious sunshine, with the days starting frosty, and the nights clear and moonlit. Spring sunshine, frosty mornings, moonlit nights – sounds like the setting for the opening of a novel! But we digress… Spring has sprung. Plants are beginning to bud, snowdrops…
