Spring is one of the most colourful times of year, with early flowers and gambolling lambs.

Take a look at this gallery, it will help banish those wintry thoughts!

Spring is a really special time of year - everything is growing, lambs are in the fields and, hurrah! The sun has finally appeared.

OK there's quite a lot of rain as well. But at least the days are longer and everything's growing again.
