The answers to today's Strands, game #394, are SHOWERS BUDS ROBINS POLLEN PUDDLES BLOSSOMS SPANGRAM: SPRINGTIME My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint

There are some interesting cultural differences in todays Strands that make
it a little strange for someone from the UK.

ROBINS are something we associate with Christmas, while PUDDLES are a year-round phenomenon thanks to the combination of ceaseless rain, poor drainage and neglected street maintenance.

BLOSSOMS, meanwhile, are a global sign of SPRINGTIME and now, for the few weeks when fruit trees burst into flower, are often accompanied by people taking selfies in front of them.

I initially thought this was a tourist social media thing over the weekend
in London's Hyde Park I cycled past a queue of couples waiting for their turn to take snaps in front of a particularly fine cherry tree but its spread everywhere. If they were in bloom year-round thered be a lot less fuss.

April also marks the return of wasps and their long-term campaign of terror against the human race.

There are 120,000 different species of wasps in the world (the most common in the US are yellowjackets) and the only place on Earth where they dont exist
is Antarctica a place where springtime doesnt happen at all.
