February 1st

February 1st, the day my daughter Jane was born. Rightly so I thought - the first day of Spring. Or so I thought until I said so to anyone in the UK and they looked at me as if I had two heads. And this is how I discovered that Ireland and England have very differnent calendars. The Irish calendar has February 1st as the first day of spring - the day my daughter Jane was born. Rightly so, I say!
