But not everyone is impressed with the season of renewal.

The good news is that the harsh winter is receding and the days are getting longer and warmer.

The bad news is that springtime is also bringing suffering to hay fever sufferers with the grass and tree pollination now in full swing and getting worse over the next month or so.

Those sufferers will be doing it tough but the upside for the lucky ones among us is that we can put away out heavy winter clothing and bring out our shorts, colourful shirts and swimming costumes.

For outdoor lovers Daylight Saving is now just a couple of weeks away.

Clocks will go forward one hour at 2am on Sunday October 5 and go through to Sunday, April 5 when clocks are brought back one hour.
