And then one day it arrived, bursting onto the scene with a flourish and startling their collective unconsciousness with its unexpected vibrancy. Suddenly even the simplest things seemed profound and delightful – greens were greener, the blue sky stretched for miles and the air smelled like warm honey.

That day the world woke up and smiled again. Summer was coming.
