Signs of Spring  | | Tavaron's garden thinks it's spring. |
The crocuses are out in Austria, also other early spring flowers. Meanwhile, the Post Editor woke up to snow and sunshine this morning. (It's melting, but still…) More snow and ice pics are still arriving in my inbox and will be shown another week. (Memo to self: we need an Easter snow retrospective, probably in the form of a video.) At the same time, Willem will soon have Fall in South Africa.
Outside our internet windows, on social media, I have begun to stop following those who think their contributions should come in the form of opinions in favour of those whose offerings involve photos and videos and 'hey, look at this!' Our gifts to one another shouldn't be recycled 'hot takes' and tired platitudes. Instead, let us regale one another with the amusing and pepper our timelines with images of the unusual, the beautiful, and the endearing. This is my personal resolve as I go into another year on this planet, a milestone that has made TJ the cat very happy because it came with Bags (see photo in this issue).
So, this issue: full of lovely things. Birds. Kitties. Natural beauty in all its forms. Proof that our contributors get around, also on foot. Our special feature section this week: a tour of York, which is an amazing place and even has an Ice Trail, complete with Delorian. A safari in a forest, with historical overview by the knowledgeable Bluebottle. Look, read, learn.
Humour. Fiction that is also humour: Professor Animal Chaos has been waiting patiently to share his take on this year's writing challenge. Now it is here. You will rejoice – this kind of writing is unique to h2g2. We suspect this is because we are under galactic quarantine. They don't want it to spread.
The novellas have reached Chapter 17. There will be surprises.
Jokes, me droning on, cinema, a picture quiz. We hope you have fun with this issue. Have a good week, stop to appreciate whatever's in bloom/cheeping at you from the trees/gamboling about, and remember to send more Stuff.
