i think may is my favourite month. i love the smell of mayblossom early on and then the elderflower. only mayblossom out at the moment, but this year there are that many fields of rape that the smell of them is overpowering. I do wonder whether that is why i have had a migraine nearly solidly for 2 weeks.
mayblossom reminds me of my childhood. my school playing field was surrounded by a hedge of them, and also some hawthorns making a dingly dell to play games in. It reminds me of little nanny, whose birthday was may first. it smells of the promise of summer, and the need to be getting those summer seeds going of squash, sweetcorn and climbing bean.
