Spring was last Wednesday, between 14.00 and 14'45 hrs, GMT.
Mayhap and Perhaps in Merre Olde though I did think that by the Chesterfield Act you Englishers finally saw the writing on the wall and joined the rest of the world in following the Gregorian Calendar. The Act had two parts: first, it reformed the calendar of England and the British Dominions so that the new legal year began on 1 January rather than 25 March (Lady Day); and, second, Great Britain and its Dominions adopted the Gregorian calendar, as already used in most of western Europe.
Chesterfield introduced the Bill into Parliament on 25 February 1751 (1750 Old Style). It was passed by the Commons on 13 May and received royal assent on 27 May 1751.
As to the Vernal Equinox, in order that the northward equinox would have the same date in the new Gregorian calendar as it had when the Council of Nicaea made recommendations in AD 325 (March 21), ten days were dropped so that October 5 became October 15 in 1582. Those nations that adopted this calendar on or after 1700 had to drop more than ten days: Great Britain, who, by Golly wern't gonna listen to no Pope had to eventually drop eleven.
In England and Wales, the legal year 1751 was a short year of 282 days, running from 25 March to 31 December. 1752 began on 1 January. To align the calendar in use in England to that on the continent the calendar was advanced by 11 days: Wednesday 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday 14 September 1752. The year 1752 was thus a short year (355 days) as well.
SOOO...Terrance me Laddie for the rest of the world the Vernal Equinox occured on Wednesday, March 20, 2019. To be more specific for you all in the Mother Land twas at 21:59 Zulu
P.S. THAT'S why Easter was on April 1 (First Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox)
