Looking around my neighbourhood this morning, it is pretty obvious that spring has sprung. Garden beds are groaning with bright coloured flowers, clipped hedges are green and lush, trees covered in new buds are sprouting new tufts of colour.

It was a perfect morning for Spencer and I to set off for a morning walk after the school drop off. I am trying to get into a routine of walking every day, even if it’s only for half an hour. Spencer is a very keen participant, which greatly helps me in the motivation stakes! Although I wish I could do what HE does when we get back:

And so to today, which brings me to the other reason for this post – Music for Monday. It took me a while to decide on the song for today but then I stumbled across this and it really spoke to me. I defy anyone not to toe-tap while they’re listening to it. This song even sounds like spring… click play and see if you agree. For you gals born after 1980, this is an oldie but worth giving up 1 minute and 54 seconds of your time. I used to play this on the radio when I was an announcer circa the mid-1980’s (showing my age here, ahem!) and I believe it still resonates today – Simon & Garfunkel’s “Feelin’ groovy”.

Have a great Monday, everyone!
