40 things you should do to enjoy spring to the fullest!

The weather’s getting warmer, nights are getting longer and the sound of the birds fill the air, it could only mean one thing – spring has finally arrived!

So, armed with a brolly in one hand and sunglasses in the other,  here are 40 things you must do to ensure a blooming great spring!

1. Have a clear-out

Out with the old and in with the new! Chuck those clothes you haven’t worn for decades, tins clogging up your cupboard and the endless piles and paper stuck in the draw!

2. Plant flowers in the garden

Fill your outdoor space with daffodils, tulips, and primroses and you’ll thank yourself in summer!

3. Wear your cute jackets

Jackets that are too warm for summer but not quite warm enough for winter, get them out now! It’s time to be bold and stylish!

4. Clear away your winter wardrobe

It’s not quite bikini season yet but it is time to clear out those big knit jumpers and scarfs, hoorah! Make way for shorts and t-shirt season!

5. Instagram a blossom tree

Is it even spring if you haven’t snapped a blossom tree yet?

6. Only visit restaurants with outdoor seating (even though it’s 15 degrees)

The sun’s out so it’s fine, right?

7. Rock a shorts and jacket combo

Nothing beats a bright matching co-ord in spring.

8. Buy hay fever tablets

Yep, bittersweet spring!

9. Take a nature walk

The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, there’s no better time to embrace the great outdoors than to take a spring nature walk.

10. Have a park picnic

Pack up your favourite sandwiches, cakes, and ball games and enjoy a park picnic making the most of the space before summer arrives!

It’s been a while since the Christmas break and we’re all in need of some me-time. It’s not too late to book the perfect spring break.

12. Visit a farmers market

Venture away from your normal food shop and explore a farmers market with all the colourful and diverse spring fruits and veggies!

13. Go for a bike ride

Two wheels and the wind in your hair! Just remember to pack the right shoes!

14. Take a walk in the rain

It may be the last thing you want to do in spring, but walking in the rain can actually improve your mood, is good for your skin and according to Chinese researchers, burns more calories than regular walking! *picks up raincoat*

Make your home smell spring fresh with scents like lavender, blossom, and cherry!
