Hey Saffers in the UK, spring’s here—finally! After a dreary winter, March brings daffodils, longer days, and sunshine that’s no myth.

Back in SA, it’s autumn, but here’s a fresh start. No more 4 PM darkness—by late month, light lingers past 6 PM. Parks bloom, cherry blossoms tease, and jackets swap for tees and slops.

Pub gardens hum—Savanna or Guinness, you pick—and a Weber braai’s calling. Young or old, it’s time to ditch the gloom.

What’s your vibe, stroll, sip, or braai? Let’s make it lekker in the UK’s green season!

Forget South Africa’s steady sun—UK weather’s a wild ride. Spring teases with warmth, then drenches you by noon.

Hack it like a pro: pack a light raincoat, scarf, and tee in one bag. Ditch the slops—boots are your new mates.

Layer up with a breathable base (think cotton), a jumper for chill, and a waterproof shell.

Peel off or pile on as the day flips. No bulky jackets—just smart, flexible gear.

You’ll dodge the drizzle and still look sharp, ready for a pub stop or a quick braai. Lekker, sorted!

Trump’s axed all US aid to South Africa as of March 08, 2025, citing land reform and its Israel stance.

PEPFAR’s spared, but $440 million vanishes—15,000 jobs at risk. Some Saffers cheer the pushback; others fear a health crisis.

With Musk in Trump’s ear, it’s a loud move.

Good call or bad jab? Tell us, Saffa’s—what’s your take on this?

St. Patrick’s Day hits March 17, and the UK’s going green!

London’s parade kicks off at Hyde Park, ending with music and dance at Trafalgar Square.

Saffa expats, join the jol—pubs pour Guinness, parks host braais, and Irish cheer’s everywhere.

Are you going? What are you doing if not?
