Aukje de Vries' Diary Day 22

February/March is the time of year I like least of all. It usually is still cold, lots of rain, and it takes time before the weather warms up. I guess my energy is low at this time of year, but this year’s winter seems to last extremely long. Not yet a bit of spring in the air (in spite of the snowdrops). The past week has been unusually cold, wet and grey with lots of rain, sleet and snow alternating. On the worst day I had to go out to two meetings, one in The Hague and one in Utrecht. I can’t wait for better weather to come and to feel the first sunshine on my face.
