The official first day of spring is nearly here. 1st March is an important day here in Romania. It officially marks the first day of spring and a man is supposed to buy the important women in his life a token present, with a red ribbon. The most common being a thin red bracelet with a small gold trinket on it. I am waiting to see if @cheese4ead adopts the tradition of the country of his current residence. Unlikely, I would say! I can hopefully console myself with the fact that I usually receive many gifts from my students. It really is a lovely, colourful day of flowers and gifts. I should be able to report back on Friday.
