The May is out

Well, we're well into spring when the hawthorn is in blossom. And it is getting more and more so every day, though given the kind of weather we've been having lately, it is certainly too soon to 'shed' that 'clout'.

There's a lot of folklore and myth about the hawthorn bush, and one of the best pieces I've come across about it is by one Glennie Kindred. It is based on English tradition, but I'm very familiar with a number of them.

Enjoy.
