The coldest May!

[Gal2]

Went for a walk today in only a vest top (with trousers of course!) - the sun is quite strong, so disappointing that last week on holiday we struggled to reach double figures, and that was on the brighter days!!

Cooling down now....but it's been lovely!! Long may it continue, I think we are overdue some good weather!!

Here in the UK we have "Ne'er cast a clowt till May be out". It apparently relates to May (Hawthorne) blossom, and the cooler it is the later it appears - in May (the month). It is struggling this year.

My Nan always used to say that (and the scent of May blossom always takes me back to going to see her as there was a huge Hawthorne on the railway bridge we crossed to get to her bungalow).

It's certainly not struggling here though, the trees are full of May blossom. One long path I walked along with Billy yesterday afternoon was lined with May trees and was absolutely beautiful!
