Spring is here in all its glory

Spring has arrived here in Korea, and it's like the springs we used to get: changeable, rainy one minute, sunny the next. We had five thunderstorms last week, and it's gotten a little chilly again. But the skies are clear, leaves are appearing on the trees, and the cherry blossoms are out in force.

PS I'm aware that it's been a while since I wrote, and I do have quite a lot to catch up on...but honestly, I'm very busy these days! School is taking up most of my time and energy at the minute. And it won't be anytime soon that I do catch up - my dear Mum is coming to visit on Thursday, so I'll be travelling around with her for a while. Yay!
