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 she was 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?
