Late spring is a time of abundance of fresh produce. Farmers' markets are full of fruits and vegetables. It's a time to savour the fresh flavours of the season. The air is filled with a sense of energy and vitality, as everything around us bursts forth with new life. 

But late spring is also a time of transition, as we say goodbye to the cool breezes and early flowers of spring and prepare for the heat of summer. As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, we begin to shed our layers of clothes and embrace the warmth of the sun. 

It is a time of hope and optimism, as we look forward to the longer, warmer days ahead. Hope is an escape factor to remedy the political turmoil that is beginning to show itself again.

Conflicts yes, but hope persists
Weather permitting
