Ne're cast a clout 'til May is out, the old English proverb cautions us.
In England we have just had two or more glorious weeks of heatwave - in April!! But now, just in time for the Royal Wedding, it has turned very cold and rain is forecast for tomorrow!! So we would do well not to put away our warm clothing for a while - but until when? Does May mean the month of May? Or does it mean the so-called May blossoms of that ubiquitous English hedgerow tree, the Hawthorn, not yet in flower?
Whatever, there have been plenty of spring flowers to enjoy over the last few weeks!

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing." attributed to Edmund Burke
