How lovely has it been to see a bit of sunshine hit the old streets of Britain this week? If you left the house without a jacket, spotted the first blossoms on a tree or hung your washing on the line of the first time this year, then join us in celebrating the much anticipated arrival of spring, we've missed you. Conscious of the fickle nature of the weather in Britain we asked our friends on Twitter and Facebook to snap a sign of Spring and share it with us, here are some of our favourites...
