May has always been my favourite month of the year.
As a child, I used to love that we could play out in the garden so much later than usual... when really we should have been in bed on a school night. I remember the blossom in the mini orchard at the bottom of our garden too ... three or four small apple trees and four pear trees, which I used to sit under making daisy chains.
It was my son’s birthday yesterday and mine on Thursday , so there have always been lots of celebrations in May for our family. I even got married in May on my birthday and so did my daughter so there’s extra reasons to celebrate and make lots of happy May memories.
It’s not just one mad month of partying though. May is the month when my heart sings for so many different reasons...
For waking early and hearing the birds chattering away madly....
For having those first lazy lunches and suppers outside in the garden ......
For the long May morning walks with the dogs as we amble across the fields and down the lanes around our cottage. Inhaling the scent of late spring, and feeling the gentle warmth of the sun on our backs in the lush Leicestershire countryside.
B
When the garden becomes more colourful... and I can finally plant out the tomatoes , beans and courgettes and squash at the end the month.....
When I can drive home from work with the windows down , be home by seven and still manage to spend time in the garden
When I can be inspired by so much around me ....May is a month of such promise....
And of course May is the month of the greatest flower show in the world... the RHS Chelsea Flower Show! It was Press day yesterday and I was there being inspired by the passion and the plantmanship, interviewing so many lovely people and seeing friends from the Garden Media Guild for a lovely gossip..
But that's another blog post......in the meantime, for me, May really is the loveliest month.
