Riding The Spiral

Return of the Mac

Not just for the likes of Inspector Gadget, or Castiel from Supernatural. April, the month of showers, unpredictable weather patterns, the chill of winter mingling with the new warmth of Spring, symbolises many things, to the world of fashion it means putting away chunky knits and heavy coats and pulling out your Spring and Summer wardrobe, something, during one very miserable day in February you…

Steadying each other, beating entwined.

Indoors getting sleepy,

Get out and play.

So ramble under trees,

And over flowers,

Get caught up amongst

The showers.

Embrace the sun,

And smell the autumn,

See your love and run,
