In which G.M. Norton takes pleasure in the little things.
If you
were to ask me what my favourite season was, I’d always plump for autumn,
followed by winter. Although spring doesn’t officially start for another week
or so, it is definitely starting to feel like it’s spring. And I must say, I am
absolutely loving it.

I put
something on the Twittering Device on Thursday about a moment I enjoyed on my
walk to the office. I was idly walking along, at my usual slow pace, when the
random thoughts in my mind were momentarily paused by one of the most beautiful
things that I’ve ever had the good fortune of hearing. A symphony of sparrows
in full song, high up in a nearby tree. I literally stopped in my tracks, and
looked up to see where the noise was coming from. Almost every branch was
occupied by one of our two-footed friends, as they entertained me.
It was only a few seconds, but what a few seconds it was. As I was about to step away, my eyes met those of a binman, sat in his truck at the traffic lights. He was smiling at me so I smiled back. I felt that like me, he too was enjoying the bird singing.
This
time of year is truly beautiful. I’ve been enjoying taking in the simple
everyday occurrences that are so easy to take for granted. Blue skies, a little
sun, you can almost feel the new life growing.
Ain’t
life grand?
