Hating Spring

I've just been reading an interesting thread on Mumsnet about people who dread Spring.

This was me for many years and I thought I was just odd. I just hated the feel that the cosy days of Winter were over and you had to start wearing lighter clothes, being seen to be out and about enjoying yourself, and basically being more visible to the world.

As I got older and more comfortable in my own skin, all that changed and I now enjoy the change in the light, nature coming to life, getting out and mowing the grass, and just the change in pace that Summer brings. Also I haven't worked in a City for many years which helps. Most city centres look quite drab during Summer I think.

Just wondering how many of you dislike Spring, or struggled when younger and less secure to feel you met all its expectations?

I know what you mean.
On the one hand U love all the spring colours and new growth and there's a sense of hope in the air.
But I also dislike the initial shedding of winter clothes. It's not warm enough for summer clothes,but dark winter colours like black, make everybody look pasty and ill.
It's neither here nor there.

Also winter clothes hide a multitude of sins as you get older.
