Signs of spring?

Peter Phillips writes:  “Forget the first snowdrop/crocus/daffodil etc.     Red sails on the Hythe at Maldon 2013 (Peter Phillips)Never mind the lighter mornings and the birds starting to sing at silly o’clock.   The first signs of spring are now to be seen at Maldon Quayside with barge sails spread out for dressing and passing pedestrians and their dogs walking all over them!”
