Spring's the thing:

Winter of discontent gives way

Was it a dream? For two days this week spring dropped in for a short visit, and trailed in its wake the usual attendants - flower-strewing fairies, sleeping students, sunbathers on the Memorial Church steps, and barefooted rhinos. Then, just as suddenly, spring sprung a leak, leaving us once again overcoated, frowning, yet eternally hopeful.
