De spring am sprung, de boids is riz...
In the lanes of leafy Surrey last week I noticed that the lovely, heavy-scented, frothy, foamy, white mayflower -- also known as the hawthorn -- is busting out all over. There's no better evidence that Spring is here!
I lived in the North-East of England for many years, where the weather is often very harsh. The local saying is, "Ne'er cast a cloot till may be oot," roughly translated as, "Don't put your winter woollies in mothballs until the hawthorn is in flower."
The scent of the hawthorn is so strong that many people find it overpowering, but I love it, and when I revisit Surrey next week, I will bring a spray back with me to grace my lonely garret !
Three of my giveaways are now completed, one to go.
Thank you so much to everybody who entered!!!
Congratulations to the winners -- your books will be on their way this week -- and commiserations to the other entrants. I'll be posting a new giveaway shortly for two further novels, so please do enter again.
I will also try to find extra copies to send to a couple of the non-winners.
And now to cast one or two cloots...
