You know that feeling you get on the first day of the year you can go out without your winter coat? Filled with positivity, you breeze down the street, blue skies and sunshine above you, cloaked in only a light spring jacket. It's certainly a feeling I look forward to every year, and although we had a glimpse of it a couple of weeks back only to be plunged back into minus temperatures, rest assured real-life spring is on its way, and it'll soon be time to vacuum-pack all those wool coats for another season (for real this time).
