Today (Thursday) is the first day of Spring. It is also International Happiness Day.

The weather might not be playing ball for the moment but things are looking brighter for Sunday and the early part of next week. Of course the signs of Spring do not change with a hiccup in the weather, and nothing can stop the onward march of the seasons.

Daffodils, blossom, nesting birds and active squirrels - there is plenty to see and photograph, and getwestlondon.co.uk would love your Spring photographs. Please tweet us your spring photos to @getwestlondon using the hashtag #spring and we'll add the best ones to our gallery.
