Well, it looks like spring is on hold for the moment with this recent cold spell which isn't the ideal start to one of our favourite seasons.
With rain, sleet and even snow coupled with plummeting temperatures it can be tempting to stay indoors and just avoid our usual day trips when the weather starts to get better at this time of year.
While it may have put a halt on our beach trips, picnics and garden walks, it doesn't mean we can't still escape the city for some much-needed respite.
