Hello everyone, this is Noriko from Nihongo Storytime. Please listen to my story again today. I will speak slowly. Spring has finally arrived in the UK. Do you all like spring? Now, please listen.

I go for a walk every day. When I don't have much time, I walk for only 30 minutes, but when I have more time, I walk for about an hour. I wear headphones and listen to music or podcasts while walking. There are no parks in my neighborhood, so I cannot walk in a park. However, I walk around the town. I try to go for a walk even on rainy days.

The other day, while I was walking, I found a little bit of spring. It was a different walking route than usual, and by chance, I found a cherry blossom tree. It was slightly different from the cherry blossoms in Japan, but there were cute pink cherry blossoms blooming. I decided to stop under the tree and look at the cherry blossoms. I love cherry blossoms. I felt nostalgic for spring in Japan... I thought about how I want to do Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) in Japan. Cherry blossoms in Japan are truly beautiful. Japanese people picnic under cherry blossom trees. They do Hanami.

I love spring, but there's a problem. I have hay fever. Because of hay fever, my eyes itch, and I get a runny nose, which is tough. But still, I love spring. That's all for today. See you again.
