Do you know of a place where sprumn prevails?  Last week, we flew into Seoul in South Korea looking for spring. Although we found bluebells and daffodils there, we were told that we were too early to view the cherry blossoms so we took a short flight to Jeju Island, which is slightly to the south, where the cherries were in bloom. My, those cherry blossoms were quite a sight! However, that island of parasitic volcanoes, mountain craters, beaches of black lava rocks and polished stones is also famous for its winds and spring rains so we spent our time outside wrapped up in jackets, scarves, gloves, etc. The temperature was around 17' C but those gusty winds chilled us to the bone. After having found colourful autumn in Kyoto two years ago, I now see where a friend is coming from when she told me once that she was looking for a place where sprumn exists. What is sprumn? According to her, sprumn is a climate with only two seasons – spring and autumn. (Note: The idea struck her whilst in the depths of winter). I have now made up my mind that she is sane and have also decided to join her in her search so do any of you know of a place where sprumn prevails?

Hi Lee: In Canada we used to have four distinct seasons lasting for three months each, but for the last few years with global warming we seem to skip over Spring and Fall. Now it goes from freezing cold Winter weather for six months, then its boiling hot Summer weather for the other six months.

Bijou, haven't you been watching the news in the last 2 days? Our only two seasons in Ontario now (& perhaps other parts of Canada as well) are Winter and Construction!!

Hi, Thank you all for your comments. I will have to note down the possible places i.e. Hawaii, Nipomo in California and Portland in Oregon. Hawaii does not look promising as it is most probably hot like Malaysia although the temperature is constant and the only seasons are dry and wet. However, I am positive that sprumn exists and that the place is most probably somewhere midway between the tropical and temperate zones, on an island or halfway up a mountain and in the path of a wind. When the wind blows, it is autumn and when it stops, it is spring. Lee Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past
