Has spring sprung?



















At this time of year I start to get anxious for spring to finally come. I am sick of cold weather, gray days, snow, ice, coats, hats, gloves... The last 2 days have been sunny and just barely above freezing, I can see the snowdrops, tulips, crocusses and other flowers coming up in the garden and I can't wait to either get my hiking shoes on and get outside for a good hike or hop on my bike and take a long tour. If you're getting ready for some outdoor activities now that better weather is on its way and would like to read about a lovely area in England where you can hike, then you've come to the right place.

Here is a sample of an article about a walking group in England for you to read and
here you can follow a four-week photo essay about the Yorkshire countryside.

Personally, I am looking forward to visiting the lakes in Upper Lusatia (Lausitzer Seenland in German). There are great paths there for biking and skating. Write to us about what you are looking forward to doing this spring...do you like to hike, bike or skate? Is there a special area you like to visit to do these or other sports? Send your Virtualingua tutor an email about your outdoor plans for this spring! (tutor@virtualingua.de) If you are a student with us already, this counts as a tutored exercise, if not, test our tutoring for free!
