With all due respect, TS Eliot, April is not the cruellest month. I consider it more passive aggressive than actively cruel, with its sharp winds and splashing rain on the one hand, but new green leaves, buds and blossom, the blackbird’s song and spring bulbs wafting about on the other. If you want true malevolence, let’s take a look at February, shall we?
The only blessing is that it’s the shortest month of the year. Every single day feels like a week, as we stumble to and from work in the festering gloom, our hands frozen because we’ve already lost one glove from any pair we were given at Christmas.
