On the 20th of March the sun shone directly onto the equator, making the length of day and night nearly equal in all parts of the world. This event is know as the equinox from the Latin meaning 'equal night', and marks the beginning of that most beautiful and optimistic of seasons; spring!
At this time of year we look forward to rising temperatures and extended hours of daylight, as well as the annual regrowth of flora and fauna. Spring's natural phenomena have led to its association with rebirth, rejuvenation and renewal.
To celebrate the season, we have selected some of the finest pieces at Grays to keep you full of the joys of spring..
